Morning:

Pushups - 3x 16

Pullups - 6,6,5,4,3

Pullups are going well though the two sets of 6 are hard right now. My chin is well over the bar, but I'm not pulling the bar tight to my chest like I want. I'll repeat this RM plan next week and see how strong I can get these sets. My elbows are not feeling sore even with the additional chins I do along with the dips. I'm very stoked...I think I may be past my elbow tendonitis completely at this point. I just need to stay smart and vigilant.

I've decided that 10 sets is enough for the dips. I'll work on increasing how many I can do in 10 sets on the heavy day I currently have on Saturday.

It's funny, but these heavier squats are feeling a bit easier than they did when I first started going over 200lbs. Part of it is just getting used to how they feel and another part is getting better at the movement.

Dips are going great. My triceps are loving these.

Friday 5/18/12

Morning:

Pushups - 3x 15

Pullups - 5,5,4,3,2

My pullups are feeling strong. The way I'm pushing forward one week and then backing off the next seems to be working well. My elbows are not feeling sore and I have a lot of control. All pullups are about as dead hang as you can get with my legs straight, body practically motionless and finish with my hands at the level of my shoulders.

My weight is actually about 223 right now...lol! My plan is to push forward for a few more weeks in my squatting and dips before I move into 5/3/1 for a while. I'd like to squat around 240lbs or so on my heavier ladder days and be doing at least 3 sets of 10 with 185lbs for now before moving on to 5/3/1. Eventually my goal is to be able to hit multiple sets of 10 with at least 225lbs (bodyweight for now) and be able to hit reps with 315lbs.

I still want that 405lbs deadlift and attacking what was a real weak point of mine (squatting) I believe will help out a lot. At least that's my theory.

Dips - 10x 6

I'm going to do less pullups per day as I'm feeling just a hint of what could possibly be tendonitis in my right elbow. I'm not ruling out doing higher sets forever but I just started being able to do them again and I'm going to let my elbows get really used to the movement before I push reps above 5 for now.

Dips feel great. These just blow my arms and upper body up like nothing else. I'm hoping to push these above 10 per set eventually.

I need to pay attention on my pullups. I'm trying to add a rep just to see how it goes. I can hit the 6 reps no problem. I'm just concerned about the tipping point where the volume might affect my elbows again.

Squats are going great. At least these sets of 10 are. I'm trying a different set/rep scheme with my dips. I think I'll try to work up to doing between 50 - 100 a session and slowly start to try to do them in less sets overall.

I'm thinking I need a different set/rep scheme for the dips. They are definitely effective, but I'm not liking the time it takes for the ladders.
