Squat
2x8@bar, 5@95, 5@115, 3@135, 3@155, 3@165, 3@175 (20lb PR!!), 3x5@135
*This was so awesome! BIG break through in my squatting and I’m pumped about it:)
Deadlift
2x5@135, 5@185, 3@205, 3@215, 2@225, 2@215, 3x3@205
*This was complete shit. I missed the third reps at 3@225 and the second 3@215 that I was going for. My form is not supporting me getting heavier pulls apparently. So, gotta get my shit together I guess.
Circuit(4 rounds)
10 box jumps
8 Overhead squats@35
12 kettlebell swings@45
6 pushups
*It was my first time doing overhead squats so I used the light barbell at my gym which is about 15lb maybe? I added 2 10s on there so I’m calling it about 35lb. Next time I’ll use the 45lb barbell since I got use to them. I’ll probably start doing them more often cause I really like them.
Yesterday
Deadlift
2x8@135, 3x6@185, 2x3@185, 4x8@135
*My form is just shit apparently. 185 felt heavy so I got angry and went lighter to try to work on form. Meh, kinda worked.
Overhead Squat
Bar only: 6x8
*So I basically was just learning how to do these, so I did a bunch of reps. But I think I got the form down decently to go up in weight next time.

Deadlift
2x8@135, 5@135(sumo), 2x3@185(sumo), 2x5@185(conv), 3x8@185(conv)(3rep PR)
*I was trying to learn sumo and see if it works for me. Apparently it does not or I wasn’t doing it correctly. My arms and legs work better with conventional since they are so long( this is what my BF told me). So whatever. Sticking with conventional I guess.
Overhead Squat, Cleans and Snatches
*did a whole mix of these just working on form and such. Only used the bar. It was tiring, none the less.

Bench
2x8@bar, 6@65, 3x3@85, 2@95…this was going horribly so I added bands.
(added bands) 3x3@bar, 2x2@65…removed bands to test at 95 again
(removed bands)2@95…at this point I was just worn out and frustrated. Starting a bench program at some point.
*This was done after 4 days of laying around and eating over the Thanksgiving break. I was so exhausted at the end it’s crazy. But I needed it because I’m pretty sure i gained like 10 lbs over the last week haha. Time to get it off!
Week 1 of 5/3/1 program
Deadlift
*also along with the new program, I’ve started using a leather lever belt. My boyfriend couldn’t use it because it hurt his ribs but it fits me pretty well. It also is insanely helpful with deadlift as I discovered today
