Missed workout yesterday due to heavy weather and exams, yeah college takes a toll on your gym schedule
Push
Bench
Used a pyramid workout for bench press using 245 as my 5RM (estimated), highest weight is 95% of it and each set is 10% difference in weight.
135x5 WU
140x5 (138.75)
165x5 (162.25)
185x5 (185)
210x5 (209)
235x3 (232.75) spotter helped with the last two. I really don't understand why I couldn't get these last 2 reps. I've done 5x5x225 and this is only a 10lb difference for one set. Maybe someone can enlighten me on this one.

Felt like throwing up today after doing the squats... basically dry heaving. But to my defense I ran on 6hrs of sleep. Just finding it hard to make a perfect gym schedule with engineering major but I'm getting by and getting better.
2 weeks ago I was doing 5x5 with 270/280 and now gotten up to 290 so I'm making progress and happy bout it.

Finally mastered the 5x5x225, so finally, after a long long time, I can increase the weight to 230. Before my log, i've plateaued for a while and was dogging the 5x5x225 workouts and could barely do them too well but things are finally turning to the bright side.

I know I know, really bitched up with my dip sets but I haven't done 5x5 bench followed with 5x5 push press together on the same day so I think they're taking a toll on my triceps but nevertheless still pushing them.

Grip Training
Held 100lb DBs (most in my university gym) in place because there isn't much room to walk and held for as long as possible. In my head was around 10-11 seconds for 3 times. All times after that were terrible.
