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.
