Odds and ends

Everywhere to lift yesterday was closed so I went to the YMCA today.  There's something cool about lifting in a dark damp basement with 50 year old iron.

3x5 squat at 290
4x15 dips
3x8 shrugs at 225

Squats were cake, even considered doing 2 more sets to make it 5x5 and see how I respond. I think it's because I took one extra day of rest, definitely ready to move on from LP with this lift and deadlifts too. I'm also questioning bill Starr's 4x20 dip prescription. Its such a high rep scheme to work toward relative to any other strength training recipe. I might start adding weight and follow a 4x10 or 4x12 LP scheme. Thoughts? I'm always wary of inventing programming because someone else has been down this path before, especially Starr. But then again he did it all by trial and error, so maybe some of that would be good for me.
