Thanks… but I really want to get my deadlifts to a respectful number 
Deload…
Standing OHP : 3 x 10 x bar
100 x 10
120 x 8
140 x 6
Band pull aparts: 5 x 20 …between OHP sets
Incline bench : 2 x 10 x 140
Pull downs: 3 x 10 x SW
Shrugs: 315 x 25
Arm curls: 2 x 6-8 X SW**
Due to the start of High school Football I have to change my lifting days to fit it in.
** Ive decided to perform my arm curls as outlined by Mark Rippetoe in the 2nd edition of Starting Strength.
DAMN IT WAS HOT!!!
Deload: bunch of shoulder mobility work
Buffalo bar squats: 2 x 10 x bar
95
135
185
225 x 10
270 x 0…Started to cramp
It was reading 100 degrees on the thermostat in the garage not factoring in the humidity. That and being in a hot work environment all day spelled disaster today.
Cramping sucks! Sounds like a regular temperature day for work and lifting here.

And does it suck
DELOAD OVER!!!
Warm up : allot
Bench: 2 x 10 x bar
95
135
185
210
225 x 5

295 x 5… did 10 might have went a little over board at this point. Might have had 1 still in the tank.
3 x 8 x 225
Band pull aparts: 5 x 20 between bench sets
Bent Rows: 4 x 6-8 x 185… Havent done these in awhile went light.Reps were crisp and explosive

Shoulder horn: 2 x 20 x 10… might be time to add another set or up the weight
OK … I deloaded for seven days. Since I train 3 days a week with a 4 lift rotation i would have ended up deloading for 11 days before I went heavy again if I followed my slandered rotation.

I love the band pull aparts and dislocates. Fixed a lot of my shoulder pain recently.
What’s the shoulder horn? (Runs off to youtube…)

Not a fan of having to do either Pull aparts or shoulder horn , but they are now part of the pre & rehab portion of my training. Since I had work done on the left shoulder back in February.

GM’s : 5 x 10 x 135 … Actually used a straight bar and forced my left arm to do it. First few sets sucked , but my mobility is really starting to improve.
Barbell roll out: 3 x 10 x 135 … 3 was enough fried the mid section.
As I stated above I was having form issues. I decided to retire my old lifting shoes which were Inzer pillars. I was noticing the soles of the shoes seem to be losing their firmness and becoming soft.I was starting to notice when I would walk out a heavier load it was feeling less stable . So I went and got a pair of work boots, which have a harder shoe along with being slightly wider. Only down side is the heel of the boot might be a tad higher. So in a nut shell my new foot wear altered how my squats felt slightly, which through me off.

EHH… Old carcass felt like crap just got some work in.
Random thought… Some people on this site take lifting way too seriously.
- Its not rocket science
- Outside of the gym among the general public…no one cares.
- Unless your going to get rich off of it… put it in the proper perspective
- Enjoy it… its a hobby if your not enjoying it, get a new HOBBY!
Love your log. And your perspective.
Gotta get my own log going again.
Nice pulls up there and your points are right on.
