Lifting week of 27 May

 Monday, 27 May, heavy

• SQ: 4x5 @250
• OHP: 4x3 @110
• DL: 270x5

Well, only the squat went as planned. For OHP it was 3,3,2,2. So next time I'll attempt 112.5 4x2. DL I could only do 3 reps. Next will be 275x3. I'll keep going till I can only do 2, then 1. 

Wednesday, 29 May, light

• SQ: 2x5 @215
• OHP: 2x5 @97.5
• CR: 4x12
• SS: chin-ups and hammer curls, 4x8 each

Squat and OHP went well. Calf raises with the 20# vest and 24kg kettle. Looking to maybe get a 30# or 45# plate for the vest, but they're so damn expensive. For the chin-ups I started with my second least helpful band (30#). Second set was the 40# band. Third was 48# (blue and red bands) and last was two blues giving me 60# of help. Next time will try the chin-ups with the red band (18#) and keep going till I can do all 4x8 w/o bands! Hammer curls with the 20# db.

Friday, 31 May, medium

• SQ: 3x5 @225
• OHP: 3x5 @102.5
• CR: 4x12
• SS: bb row 4x10 and monkey row 4x8. 

Squats were fine, but the OHP turned out to be 3x3. Probably that for the foreseeable future. CR as usual. Barbell row was 105# and monkey rows with 25# db. Those kill me.
