Monday - Back Squat 335 x 5, Press, etc

Just bringing up the intensity slowly, nothing too heavy today. Press was especially easy, actually.

Pullovers:
-80 x 10
-95 x 10
I wanted to do more but the squat rack opened up and  I had to grab it.

Squat:
-135 x 5ish
-225 x 5
-275 x 5
-315 x 5
-325 x 5
-335 x 5
Next time I think I'll do 335 for 3x5 across, it wasn't too bad. I just need to get used to doing multiple reps in a set.

Press:
-95 x 5
-115 x 5,5,5
Easy.

New program I'm going to try and follow

So I couldn't lift this week - gym is likely closed and I don't have a number to call.

Anyhow, I think I'm not making much progress on this daily squatting at the moment because of various reasons, but its been about 2 months and I'd like to vary it a bit. Here is a loose idea of what I came up with.

Three days a week, because 5x is getting to be a lot. I can always go in more, but I'm not sleeping as much as I used to, and its tough going every day. Plus this lets me work extra on Tuesday, so I can leave early to go lift on Wednesday and Friday if need be.

Monday:
-Back Squat
-Pullovers
-Chins

Wednesday:
-OHP
-Deadlift/RDL (whichever I choose)

Friday:
-Back Squat
-Pullovers
-Rows or Shrugs or Lat Raises

I'd like to do front squats but those always hurt my side. I guess I just want some variety and to make sure I'm hitting everything important. I guess I'm still missing chest. Maybe I'll do some flies or something.
