Okay, swain has said to keep posting on here. I'm going to lift in about a half hour. By the time I get back, if not many others care about this little journal I'm keeping, I'm letting it go for good.
Progress with 5x3.

Shoulders and Bis.
Military press
5x3 at 200. New PR!
Db militaries
2x8 with 75s. Had a spot on my last 2 reps.
Lat raises
1x8, 1x10 at 25s
Barbell curls
1x3 at 120
4x3 at 115
120 is a bit too heavy. I used my back too much. Maybe next week or the week after.
Db curls
1x8, 1x7 with 45s
Zottman curls
2x8 with 30s
I cut down my rest time a lot, and I'm gonna try to stay with this idea. I'm hungry now ...

Excellent progress on the militaries!! When performing seated dumbbell presses, do you find it difficult to get the dumbbells into starting position? I always must have a partner help me get the dumbbells into starting position.

Not really. I can usually get enough force behind it to get it up all the way, but I do have my partner help me with my first rep.
zack and Bones, thanks guys.

Chest and Tris.
I wanna see if I can get my chest to grow, so I decided to add a little more volume to my chest routine.
Incliine bench.
5x3 at 250. I guess you can call this a new PR, since it hadn't been done before. I did have spot on my last rep of my last 2 sets.
Flat DB presses.
1x7, 1x6 at 100s
1x7 at 95s.
Incline flys.
2x10, 1x9 at 50s.
Close grip press.
5x3 at 185.
Dips.
1x9, 1x8 at bodyweight + 80 lbs. hanging.
Skullcrushers.
1x8, 1x7 at 115.
I'm gonna be hurtin tomorrow ...
