Figured I should start keeping my log somewhere digitally, instead of just my notebook.

All weights are listed using United States Customary Units

Lifetime PRs:

Squat: 410 (September, 2019, BW: 200)  
Press: 165 (September 2018, BW: 212)  
Bench: 280 (September, 2019, BW: 200)  
Deadlift: 463 (June 2018, BW: 219)\*

- denotes a PR within competition

Been rehabbing my glute for the past month and a half, or so, so keep that in mind before you roast my Squat and Deadlift programming.

11/20:

TnG Bench:

250 x 1  
265 x 1  
240 x 3 x 3

2 Count Pause Bench:

210 x 4  
215 x 4  
225 x 4  
215 x 4 x 2

Beltless Squat

95 x 5 x 10

Could only tolerate the Leg Press last week for this day, so it is progress.

12/4

Beltless Low Bar

225 x 6

Honestly, these last two sets aggravated my glute more than I would’ve liked, but it’s still a post-injury PR. Still training.

135 x 15  
135 x 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3

265 x 8 x 2 sets

12/10

7 minutes Pull-Ups (14 unbroken, PR)  
7 minutes Planks  
25 minutes LISS cardio via c2 Rower

12/11

Competition Squat

225 x 6  
240 x 6  
255 x 6 x 2 sets

These felt much better than last week. Hopefully now I can just titrate the weight up, and finally get this injury behind me.

Competition Press

115 x 6  
125 x 6  
135 x 6 x 2 sets

Really excited with how good these felt. Haven’t Pressed seriously in a few months, so technique was dog shit, but strength was definitely there. I think 135 x 6 might even be a PR.

Touch and Go Bench Myoreps

155 x 16  
155 x 3 (lol)

Still not good at Myoreps, clearly. Oh well. It only goes up from here. Still got a joooocy chest pump out of it.
