I would not expect to get stronger during the course of the program. It is after you've finished and rested for about a week that people seem to start to see the benefits. So if you can't easily triple 375 right now (405 * .85 + 20 + 10) then I'd say you will definitely miss a lot of reps during the program, which will limit your gains. I chose 345 as my max to work off of, and that is actually around my 5 rep max. The weight that I will be doing 10 triples with on the last day is probably my current 7-8 rep max.

Ok cool. Thanks for all the recommendations. There are just so many quality restaurants in SF it's kind of daunting just to pick a few. I think I've got the Napa leg of the trip pretty well planned out, but that was pretty simple in comparison to SF.

KB Swings- 1.5px10x3
Foam Folling- hip flexors, IT bands, upper quads
Weighted Pullups- 5 singles at 1p
Hip flexors were a little tight so I got in a quick warmup and rolled them. Also I made a weighted pullup belt over the weekend using 5 feet of chain, some flexible rubber tubing, and a couple of carabiner clips, so I wanted to test it out. Seems to work well, I'm gonna GTG with pullups over the coming weeks and would like to get up to a 2.5p pullup.
Also made a ham, fried egg, and cheese sandwich for dinner. But instead of bread I used chicken breast. It was awesome.
