Just wanted to test my press with the 28kg bell. I never expected 6 reps a side and I still had at least 1-2 more reps on each arm. I'm way stronger than I was in my press even with the light weight higher rep pressing I've been doing. This routine agrees with me and I just need to keep pushing the weights up and stick to it.

I have actually still been gaining weight and am at 230lbs right now. This is heavier than I want to be but I'm still not really fat and my abs do still show. I'm nowhere near strong enough to support this weight, but at the same time my goal has been to bring my squat and bench up and ignore my weight for now. I can always get lean later after building up strength and gaining muscle.

My pullups are getting harder though. I am probably good for 8 -9 reps at this weight but my right elbow is just barely starting to complain. I will revise what I am doing pullup-wise for now.

Squat - 140lbs 5x 10

No swings. I'm thinking about my routine. If I stick with 5/3/1 and the BBB assistance I am just going to have to eat more than I am. I'm keeping my weight at 220+ right now and I'm steadily getting leaner but don't feel as strong as I did a few months ago. Decisions.

At least my pullups are coming along strong. I can't say how happy I am to be working pullups. I'm probably good for 9 reps right now if I was fresh at a bodyweight of 220lbs. My best was 13 at a bodyweight of 185lbs. a few years ago. Not bad.

Deadlift - 135lbs 1x 5, 195lbs 5x 10

I was pretty disappointed with my squat today. Weight felt heavy and I should have got at least 7 - 8 reps with 200lbs. I'll probably push on for a few more weeks just to see if this was an aberration due to what I ate or whatever. I am starting to think that when I was squatting 3 times a week I was really making progress and that frequency may agree with me better.
