2x5x245 lbs - Feeling great after first two sets.
1x10x245 lbs - Felt real good in all the reps. Ten was a grind, maybe had 11. Hitting good depth.

My bench has seemingly stalled around 195/200 lbs. I'm going to try to get it recorded and have you guys take a look. Maybe something with my form will help me. I feel that I'm having good leg drive and I don't take my back off the bench. Maybe it is my grip and it's width?

1x3x190 lbs - Failed on 4th rep, decided to lower the weight. I don't know why my incline and bench seems to be so irratic from each session. Seems I feel good one day, do it, do solid reps for all the sets, and when I decide to bump it up 5 lbs, it's like way too much.

On another note, I started up MFP and I'm tracking my food. I want to lose some flab around my waist, and hopefully have some abs start showing up but I know you can't drop fat in specific spots. I've been using it for 3 days now and haven't gone over my calorie limit. I am trying to hit the macros set in it too.

Going to Miami next week for 5 days and then recoup at home before going to Hawaii the week after. I've been happy with my progression on the big lifts, mostly the bench and squatting. I think after my vacation time, I'm going to test some 1RM's as I want to see if I can bench 2 plates and maybe try to put up a decent squat and DL. After that I'm not sure whether to continue with this version of GSLP or do something else. Just pondering out loud.

Boy oh boy. Been a nice 2 week vacation from work and the cold here in Canada. In short, didn't workout for 2 weeks, ate decently but did enjoy some high calorie foods and some alcohol. Went to Miami for 5 days, went to visit my family back in Canada for another 3, then went to Hawaii for another 5 days. Came back weighing at 199 lbs so going to get back on the bandwagon and get a steady cut going.
Some extra motivation came from being in Miami and Hawaii and seeing some IEL guys roaming the beaches. I'd love to be able to get people to turn heads when I go shirtless haha. I turn 26 this year in Dec so I'm hoping by then, I'll have a six pack to compliment my age, but realistically just lowering my body fat and having some definition will make me happy. I still want to bench two plates eventually as well.
Got back into the gym today after a 2 week hiatus.
Bench:
1x5x135 lbs
1x8x135 lbs
3x10x135 lbs

Squat:

2x5x185 lbs
5x5x225 lbs
Just wanted to get back into the routine and will continue my GSLP after 1 week. I'm going to aim to have accessory work in the 5x10/12 rep range as well as adding in cardio cycling 3-4x a week for 10 km to start.
