week 5 day 1

Last week I missed the last rep on my OHP 140x5.  So this week I moved the OHP top set to 1x4 and was able to complete my reps with 141 pounds.  Also, I've been working on my technique for squat and trying to get a better low bar position.  280 yesterday was the heaviest I've ever squated for 5 reps, and felt really good.

The full "monday"(actually done on friday) workout was

Squat 280x1x5 + 262.5x4x5

OHP  141x1x4 + 127.5x2x5

Rows 180x3x5

I also really like having several lighter squat sessions throughout the week.  It allows for good technique practice, but is still heavy enough(65%+) to count as some reasonable additional volume.  I think this has really helped me with the consistency on my heavy days(80%+)

Later this week my heavy deadlift will be 340x5... and I'm a little nervous about it... we'll see.  Either way, I'm currently seeing fairly good PR's compared to where I was at the end of Starting Strength.  This plan seems to be working for for me currently.
