Great work on the deadlift your form looked great to me. I can't believe you got 380 when you were only doing 340x2, you must be pretty fast twitch.

oh haha. i thought it was your GF or a girl you knew. lol. You can still pretend it is

And yeah i got 340lbs x 2 but i didnt push to the fullest. Also the plates at my gym aren't round so everytime i finish a rep 1 side of the bar will go one way and the other side will go the other way. Takes me like 5-10 seconds to adjust the bar and reposition myself. Thats why i prefer to keep my reps low.

Thanks for the input

I think its time to update this a lil bit . lol. Recently i did a program that Thatbloke set up for me which helped me gain some mass and strength. Now im gonna switch back to a 5x5 or 5/3/1 to just focus on the strength part.

I will probably start tommorrow.

current bodyweight: About 160lbs (but i've been taking creatine for a few weeks so i dont know how much of it is water retention)

yeah i was still keeping a journal that i brought to the gym everytime i worked out but now i lost it so i figured it would be a good idea to still keep it updated online. lol

It was a quick workout with short breaks. I was studying all day for an exam coming up. Barely slept and ate but i didnt feel too tired when i got to the gym

Bench press: (had to start with it 1st because the only squat rack was taken)

5 x 95lbs
5 x 115lbs
5 x 135lbs
5 x 160lbs
5 x 180lbs

Squat:

5 x 135lbs
5 x 175lbs
5 x 210lbs
5 x 245lbs
5 x 285lbs

I had to stop there because i was running out of time. Squats and Bench weren't my max but it was still hard. Not sure if i set the weight too high. Gonna keep on going until i stall and then i'll adjust

damn man you are definitely stronger your squat is stronger than mine now I lost lots of strength

Im sure you will get back to your old maxes in a few weeks once you start gaining some of the weight you lost back. I actually started taking boxing classes again last week so i might have to change my split a bit.

5 x 185lbs
5 x 215lbs
5 x 260lbs
5 x 300lbs
5 x 350lbs (felt kinda hard. Had a crazy lower back pump because i had to take really short breaks between each sets)

Over head press:
5 x 70lbs
5 x 85lbs
5 x 100lbs
5 x 115lbs

I had to stop there.

I had to skip my saturday workout because of work and gym closing earlier

Bench press: (had to start with it 1st because the only squat rack was taken)

5 x 95lbs
5 x 135lbs
5 x 160lbs
5 x 180lbs
5 x 190lbs (this was almost to failure. Really hard lockout on the last rep)

Dumbell rows:
10 x 50lbs
6 x 70lbs
2 sets x 5 x 80lbs

Squat:

5 x 135lbs
5 x 185lbs
5 x 225lbs
5 x 260lbs
5 x 295lbs ''PR'' (was pretty hard)

i decided to go for the ''PRs'' earlier than i was supposed to because i cant keep doing this programm for too long with boxing classes, work and school. Im probably gonna switch to a 5/3/1 program and do 1 big lift per workout

wake up early in the morning and do some exercise. perhaps you can jog a little to gain fresh air. then you can also do some stretching.
