So today I squatted 3 sets of 6 reps at 315lbs.  I’ve been wanting to get over 300 for a while now, and I’ve finally accomplished it.  I’m very happy with this progress considering I’ve had lower back surgery before.  Now that I know I can throw 3 plates on each side and bust them out without busting out my back I think that I will maintain this weight while increasing the reps.  I want to make sure I am comfortable with the weight and am not straining at all to lift it.

Another decision now is to start deadlifting.  I’ll probably do the romanian type off the ground.  I want to take my time and slowly work my way up like squat.  I think my body will adjust fine, but I’m still thinking about where and when to work it into my workout split.  We’ll see how it goes.

Weaknesses with my current physique.  I think my chest needs help.  Legs are coming in fine and my back has seen a great improvement so I will go back to focusing on my chest.  I may do it twice a week…will see.
