Oh yah, got my heart pounding going up the stairs carrying that milk, 6th floor penthouses sweets baby! I love the way deadlifts make you feel like you just got the flu, seriously, its sick, haha!

Week 5 day 3
From here on out PR day will be every day!
On a good 8 hours sleep, plus a decent breakfast (TGIM?)...

Bench
105x5
130x5
160x5
185x5
215x3 (with ease)
160x8

Squat
125x5
160x5
190x5
225x5
260x3 (relatively easy - on the last rep though, I started shaking a little on the way up, then I literally jumped as in my feet came off the floor, exploding up... body form was good, but whats up with that?)
190x8
(Thing on squats though- I think because of the way that the sqaut rack is made, my right leg has been a little to the outside causing my right ass cheek to be stronger than my left ass cheek, I'm sure over the summer when I have a better full free squat rack that should even out, right?)

Row
105x5
130x5
160x5
185x5
215x3 (def not even hiding the pull now, this is going to be the lift that is the first to plateau and/or I just pull harder, any suggestions?)
160x8 (really good form)

Dips
BWx10
+25x8
+35x6

Drag Curls
60x8
70x8
80x6

Overhead Tricep Ext
65x8
75x5 (pretty much failure)

Good workout, again, growth is continuing, if I could get my diet better I'd probably be seeing an even larger explosion of growth, but all around I'm happy with my results so far... I'm extremely excited about getting to 225 on bench soon!

As for rows, have you thought of switching to pendlay rows? They will carry over to your deadlift more. Em got me started on them and I don't think I will ever go back

Thats probably what will happen, I used to do them the first time I did this workout almost a year ago.

So was that 1 rep at 400 about your max?

Nah bud, my one rep max was 390, so I guess thats a PR too now, kinda... I'm pretty happy with that rep though because it was after a that 5 rep PR, so I had already used a lot of energy.
