Press 135lbs 5x5
Chins +35lbs for 3, +25lbs for 4/4, +0lbs for 6
So I got a pair of weightlifting shoes (http://www.roguefitness.com/nike-romaleos-2.php). Basically, they have a slightly raised heel (standard is about 0.75"), and the floor of the shoe is made of hard, uncompressable material. I've been feeling really good on squats lately and I'm pretty sure these shoes have a lot to do with it. Before widening my stance and resetting to work on form, I got stuck at 365 and could only complete 1 set of 3 before getting stapled. On saturday 3x5 @ 360lbs was no sweat. Pretty sure I'll be good for 365 on tuesday. The shoes make you feel super stable at the bottom position.
Pressing has sort of sucked lately. I've been trying to get to 150lbs 1x5 for 2 weeks now. Hopefully will be able to do that this week. Chins also sucked, but I think I weigh about 5 more lbs since my last chinning workout due to overeating.
Finished things up with some weighted back hyperextensions (5x10, 25lbs weight).
I'm considering adding another day of training per week. The idea would be to use this day to address current weaknesses. To begin with I'd probably do a lot of core/lower back work and maybe some vanity lifts (curlz).
