Friday: 12/05/08 - Week 3
Squat:

240x5
245x5
245x5

I felt like I could do 245 for 3x5 but I wanted to be careful, plus I cheated a little bit on the last rep on the last set of squats on Wednesday because I didn't go ATG. I can't let my ego get the best of me.

Military Press:
110x5
110x5
110x5

Felt really good here. My last set was real nice, perfect form all around.

Powerclean:
160x3
160x3
160x3
165x3
165x3

Now that I'm getting the technique down a lot better I'm making myself explode up faster at the first pull. I get faster and faster.

Thus ends week 3. I feel like I need to start eating even more to make better progress. I'm not gaining any fat, but I am gaining muscle, but it's all just muscle memory. I do need to start eating a caloric surplus. Next week I'm gonna start doing assistance exercises: dips, and pullups. I may add in some sort of glute exercise, since my hole weakness is starting to show up. I know I can't do GHR or reverse hyperextension due to lack of equipment though so we'll see. I might just do romanian deadlifts and really focus on my glutes for that exercise.
