Looks Good Bro! I was advized to look into the 5X5 program so Ill definitely be following this to see what kind of results you get from it. Keep pushing that weight bro!!!

Thanks. I like it. Some other peoples logs and threads said they did it every other day repeating the workouts like A B A, I just changed the last day to focus on different exercises.

Day2
Squat- 265#5*5.

Clean overhead press- 125#*5,115#4*5(new form/technique required me to drop down but feels like its working muscles better).

Deadlift- 270#4*4(mixed grip/alternated each set).

Wide grip chins BW5*5.

That's all I had time for, gotta go to work. Workouts taking longer as weight increases. I'm gonna try better time manage on my work days but ill prob still have trouble doing everything I want to do on those days. As long as I hit my main three I'm content.

Yep. The program is pretty basic but gives steady results especially with my Squats. I like changing my thirst day the way I did cause the the Bulgarian split Squats help a lot with my legs. They are still sore from Friday.

YEAH that's the way I like to look at it. I realize that I'm gonna hit some obstacles. Prob a lot more soon to come since I've only been hitting it hard since April. I must say I've made a good deal of progress in a couple months. Thanks for the encouragement!
