OHP
3x5x105

Success. I had to set the bar down for a second before the very last rep because my grip was getting weird for some reason. And the last rep was a huge grind.

I'm getting pumped for 275 squat on Wednesday already.

Squats
3x5x265
Set 1 - I thought this set went fairly well.
Set 2 - Meh
Set 3 - Hard

Followed up with 4x6x90 DB Swings and 3x6 GHR.

I was considering trying 275 today, but after how awful last week went I decided on 265. I'll move up next week.

Went to shoot around today and went for about 10 dunk attempts. I got the ball over the rim and grabbed the rim, but it didn't feel like I really threw it down. The good news is this was almost immediately after a 3 hour hike, so in better conditions and with a little more practice I'm confident I can get a undebatable dunk. I know I said this before, but video will be coming soon.

OHP
5x110
5x110
3x110, 2x110 push press

Going to repeat this weight again next week.

Pullups
6x5xbw

I think I'm going to do pullups 2x per week instead of alternating pullups and inverted rows.

These came in the mail yesterday:

DL
5x305

Other than grip, felt good. Next up 315

Took a video and went 0 for 3 uploading.

Wide grip DL
2x5x225 - Second set

Tried to do the reps fast. Just watched the video and my upper back doesn't look good.

Bulgarian split squats
2x6x150

These were hard today, decided to skip the last set. Also, a few hours later and my knee pain is back a bit. 90% sure it's caused by these after doing a lot of jumping or hiking or whatever.

Wood choppers
2x10 high to low
2x10 low to high

DL 5x305

Squat
3x5x275

Was really hard, but I think I got through it ok.

DB Swings
4x6x90

GHR
3x6

Form is way better on these than when I started. Trick is to use the power rack and line up my shoes with the bar near the floor. Way better than smashing my feet between the ground and calf machine. Power rack wins again

Got a "good job" from the PT at the gym after the GHR and a "you're really moving a lot a lot of weight" from the PT after squats. I can probably squat more than he can, but he can probably bench more than I squat so it made me happy.

Bench
5x185
4x185 Got really close, but no spotter so I set it down on the low pins
5x175

Pullups
6, 6, 4, 5

Also did a bunch of power cleans with the bar. They were fun, I'll be doing more of those.

Brag: I went for about 30 dunk attempts yesterday and conclusively threw down 2 dunks. Got really close and think I could improve that number just by practicing. My wife got some pictures, I'll post when she gets around to going through them.

Beat: Skipped the gym twice in a row. My justification has been taking a rest week since I think I'll be out of town for a few days this week and won't be able to lift.

Variance: 2 / 30 is not a high percentage. Will probably try to do some depth jumps and other plyometrics next week. Also, I have decided to stop eating as much as my body can handle. I'm hoping I can still progress to 300 squat and lose my newly acquired belly.

Yesterday

2x25 Low ankle hops
2x20 high ankle hops

3x6 18" depth jumps

DL
5x315

OHP
5x95

Pullups
6, 6, 6

I don't know why I stopped at 95 for OHP. They were harder than I expected. It was ok though, 3 plate deadlift was awesome.

I'm going to start doing more cleans and explosive lifts. I think my legs have enough strength now for dunking. I'm also planning on doing plyometrics and dunk attempts twice a week or so.

Yesterday

Squats

Out of town for a few days. Plan on deadlifting as soon as I get back
