Squat at 225. Keep on working on form... Sit back more, sit back.
Bench failed at 187.5 4x4x3x3x3. Felt like I had zero energy while doing it. Going to call it a fluke and go ahead and increase to 190 and see what happens. Make sure to do more warm up reps as well.
Rows at 145. No video, but they felt fine. Continue 5lb increases.
Dips at 3x12. Go up to 3x13, but need to get a dip belt very soon. BW is too light.

04/25/11 - Workout B
Squat at 220. Did not feel good. Knees buckled in two of the reps in the third set. Bar leaning issue still persists. Did not hit depth on every rep. Squat shirtless next time to see if the back is tight throughout the set and focus on hitting depth at 225.
Press at 115. Weight is manageable, go to 120 next time. Breathe in between reps, holding breath leads to slight dizziness.
Deadlifts at 305. Grip is giving out after the second rep. Can no longer double overhand the set. Next time, use hook grip throughout warm ups and chalk on working set to see if I can maintain double overhand. Using the mixed grip does not feel good due to sprained wrist. Also, try to get a better angle because it looked like I was not locking out, at least during warm ups.
Continue 3x6 pullups.

4/22/11 - Workout A
Squat at 215. Bar lean is getting better, but it looks like some reps were a touch high. Make sure to go lower next time.
Bench at 185. Last rep of each set was slow, failed the last rep of the fifth set. Attributed to not enough sleep/food. Continue 2.5lb increments.
Row at 140. Make sure to keep glutes/ham tight so the hips don't come forward. Continue 5lb increments.
Dips 3x12. Stick with 3x12 for next time.

4/20/11 - Workout B
Squats at 210. Still slightly off to the right, make sure proper depth.
Press at 110. Felt okay, not sure if touching too high off the chest.
Deadlift at 300. Can't tell from the video angle. Felt okay, dislike using mixed grip due to sprained wrist. Try less warm-up sets to save grip strength.
Chin-ups went fine. Try to increase each set by one rep each week.

04/18/2011 - Workout A
Squats at 205lbs. Felt easy, need to correct the bar leaning off center on some reps.
Bench at 182.5lbs. Last rep on each set was slow. Use more leg drive.
Rows at 135. Continue 5lb increments.
Dips - 3x10 at BW. Increase to 3x12 next time.
NOTES: Get squat video from more angles next time. Record at least one set from each lift.
