I really suck at keeping this thing up to date, much as I suck at the diet side of the process. Lifting is going well overall. My bench is stuck at about 360 and doesn't seem to want to budge. I haven't diagnosed the problem yet but I'm trying to incorporate some heavier tricep work since I seem to be losing it at the top end of the lift. We'll see if that pans out over the next few months.
Deadlifts and squats continue to see improvement. I missed a 505 deadlift last week after my last heavy set. Lost it about 2/3 of the way up. I'm incorporating rack pulls to try and improve the top end of the lift.
Standing overhead presses have seen the most dramatic improvement. I felt froggy last weekend at the end of a heavy 5/3/1 week and decided to try a single at 225. I missed it at first but stepped out, reset and pushed one out. Very minimal leg movement to get it started. The top end felt like it took an hour by I got it all the way up.
Going well and I'm going to do better with updating this thing.
Alden,
