My new years journal-Single factor 5x5

[asdfzxcv]

Wednesday

Bodyweight 190lb,which is Strange given the amount I have been eating the past few days,probably just water weight fluctuation

Squats(light)
135x5
155x5
185x5
185x5
185x5
Very easy,focused on going right to the bottom position and pausing for a second or two,good sets.

Deadlifts
135x5
165x5
195x5
225x5
255x5PR
Not bad at all,pretty decent pulls all round.My only problem now is my shins which get scraped by the bar as it passes,no big deal however.

Chin ups
5xbodyweight
5xbodyweight
3xbodyweight
3xbodyweight
4xbodyweight

20total reps
Did pretty good on these despite the fatigue of the deads/squats.I probably could have got 4reps on the 3rd and 4th sets if I rested just a bit more.I hope for more total reps in coming weeks.

Push(overhead) press
85x5
95x5
105x5
110x5
115x5
No record on these today as I toke it easy and focused on the motion.I will bump these up 2.5lb next week.

Overall it was a pretty good workout,hopefully I can hit 265 on deads next wednesday .

No digi cam,I doubt it will be a visual specticle anyway,it is just a regular commercial bench.

Haha,I am even less impressive looking then the bench .At 6'4 190Ib am not very impressive looking,nor am I ultra lean.I need to be about 230-240 just to look like a normal 6' man does at 190.I think I would need to be about 250lb before anyone thinks I work out lol.It is a long journey but at the end when I am squatting 400+,deadlifting 500+ and benching 300+ and weighing about 260-270lb at my height it will be worth it

good luck there.. i'll be hitting that soon too..
