Updates:
Bodyweight-around 181

Bench: 235
Squat: still 285, haven't tried a max out, but I feel stronger
Deadlift: 335x2(waiting to go heavier because I want a belt to protect back)

Power Clean: 165 (haven't re-maxed, technique holding me back)

Starting smolov squat tomorrow at max of 235.

Saturday 11/07/09
Went on 5 hour off-trail hike with friend, lots of hiking up steep hills hamstrings still sore from stiff-leg deadlifts, as I've never done them before.

Sunday 11/08/09
Just did max pullups:13
Then chinups: 12

Haven't done pullups in like a month so I am weak on them
Also I have gained 10 pounds, mostly water weight from creatine, so they are a little harder. Would have got more but I didn't warm up or anything

Took arm measurements after pullups, arms somewhat warm and pumped
Arms: 14.5 inches ( I think they're usually around just over 14 completely cold)

Forearms are 13 inches cold (I'm a rock climber so my forearms are huge compared to my arms-lol makes my biceps look small)

One question about measuring forearms: Do you measure them at tir largets part, like 2 inches or so above the elbow, or in the midpoint of the forearms? I measured them at their largets point flexed. Thanks.

Don't think I put it anywhere else but I'm 17 years old.

Warmup Bench
45x12
95x10
115x5

Bench(Back on smolov cycle again, but with new max of 235. This time I think I'll strictly follow it)
6x6x165

Warmup Squat
45x10
135x5
205x2

Squat
4x4x255 PR

Warmup Military press

Military Press
1x1x135 PR
1x1x140 PR (damn and I haven't even military pressed in 2 weeks+ )
1x5x105
4x5x110 (felt ridiculously easy....YES)

Power Clean
1x3x160 (attempt, kept fucking up)
1x3x135 (trying to lower my weight to fix my terrible form)

Lateral Raises
3x15x15 DB's (strict form) PR (pr cause I've never done them before other than for a stretch)

Final pump sets:

Front Shoulder raise
1x15x15 db's PR (PR cause I've never done them before)

DB Bench
1x7x75
1x9x75 PR YES! I thought I was totally done after the first sets, but even though I was wasted I got a new record on this set!

Calf Raises
2x15x160

Thoughts:
That squat set damn near wasted me. Hard stuff.
MP was super easy today, could have done more.
Power clean form sucks dick....
Couldn't believe the pr on db bench, wonder what I could get fresh???
