I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

I'm gonna switch back to a linear program, more beginner-style. I started this program right in the middle of moving cities and losing weight and stuff. Gonna go back to 3x5, squatting 3x per week, but this time high-bar/olympic whatever, prolly benching 2x, we'll see what else.
How do you find the program? Gonna stick with it for awhile? I remember reading you saying that your lifts have gone down a bit too, seems like since you switched programs... anything to that?
Squats - 3x95 3x102.5 1x107.5kg - something painfull in left hip, really tight..... have been neglecting the foam rolling etc... Bench 3x5 65kg - felt good, shoulder felt good Pushups - total of 100 Chinups - 5,5,5,3,3 Ab-wheel rollouts 3x6 No cleans as platform were taken
Deadlifts 5x102.5 5x110 5x117.5kg - Deloaded on the deadlift after a week off, and forgot that the last set was meant to be max reps. OHP 3x5 40kg - shoulder felt ok, no pain... didn't feel fully right though Pushups Total of 50 Pullup 5,5,5,4,3
Also cycled to and from gym, starting to get into cycling a bit
Squats 3x5 82.5kg - these actually felt a little difficult, could have been due to the hangover , and also the amount of cycling I have been doing, my hip flexors felt really tight. Bench 3x5 62.5kg Power Cleans 5x3 62.5kg - love power cleans, my form was pretty solid Pullups 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,1,2,1
