Sunday - Lower/Pull
Back Squat
warmups - 20,61,93,111
126 x 8,8,8
Legs tired for some reason (maybe from deadlift two sessions prior?)
more taxing on lungs that legs and back
Deadlift
warmups - 70,111,131,
153 x 8
Deadlifting after squat is tough, hopefully my work capacity will improve or my progression will probably slow a bit.
Split squat
BW x 10,10,10
Just keeping it light but doing a variation as accessory. Getting used to so much volume in one day

Dips
BW x 15,15,15

Was originally going to do weighted dips, but this is a lot more upper body/triceps volume than I'm used to, so I'll stick with BW for now.

New Program
Exact details are work in progress, but for now:
ABAD
A:
Back Squat - work up to max single, then drop set (1 or 2 sets, ~10 reps total). Try to hit at least 90% of max
Pullups
Ab Exercise
B:
Bench Press - 5/3/1
Dips
BB Row
A
D:
Press 5/3/1
Deadlift 5/3/1
Dips
Goals:
Reach a 200kg squat by October 2018 (long term). Maybe I'll get there sooner, but this is the threshold number. Objective is 8 months.
Continual improvements to bench and press
Limited work with deadlift, just maintain and hope it goes up with squat - not a priority
Nominal squat max per month to reach 200 kg by October 2018
(current max 171 as of 10/12)
