Start of week 4.
Sets and reps change - the main 5x5 exercise becomes 6x3 with a 2-3 min rest and the circuits become 4x10 still with 60 sec rest. I adjusted my weights down just for today to find my "sweet spot".

6x3 150 sec rest
front squats - 205 (no increase) for all sets

circuits 4x10 60 sec rest
incline db bench - 65's (-10) all sets
bb romanian deads to rows - 155 (-30) all sets
cable PNF - 25 (-10) all sets

13 mins of stretching and cool down.

Notes:
I made the right decision to lower or not increase the weights. I was struggling tonight. Stomach didn't feel right. I may still be recuperating from my long hours this past couple days. On-call lasts 'til Friday so I've got to try and fit my workouts in where I can this week. (no beer either )
Actually the lower weight on the rom. deads to row felt really good. I may have increased it too much in the last couple weeks. Think I'll keep around 155 or slightly increase instead of such a jump as I've been doing.
