Squats
5x5 - 185

*Easy. But my hips will thank me. It's also about 80% of what I did on Monday, so true to the program.

Overhead Barbell Lockouts
5x 10secs - 165

*Too easy again. I'm playing it conservative this first week, so I'l definitely be jumping up next week on these.

Deadlifts
5x5 - 225

*Easy, but my hips were fatiguing. Core was tiring too. I'll keep these relatively low. I also did these double overhand, whcih wasn't a challenge at this weight, but I'll try and stick with that over the next few weeks to work on grip strength.

Chinups
5x5 - bw+25

*Not too easy. Last 2 sets were difficult, simply from fatigue.

This day will be good for me, cause it will force me to stay moderate on the weights and nail down my form issues. I feel "worked out" but not blown out.
