Walking sure was fun after that one. My right knee got abit strained from the squats. So, I had to take a few days off and tend to it.

Trying out a 5x5 again. I'm very surprised at how easy 185 for my bench press!

Wow, squats felt unusually light tonight. I'm almost hitting the sides of the rack on these. Absolutely no lower back pain or anything. My bench press felt quite solid too. And, yes, I'm attempting another bulk.

I'm now going ATG on squats. No pain at all to speak of, and my legs thank me!

Still throwing iron around. Just not logging here but the Stronglifts 5x5 iPhone app is very helpful.

Squats are getting harder, but getting better breathing through them. Bench still going well too.

Bulk is going great.

Looking good. Squats are looking awesome also. Keeping logging bro it keeps you honest and on top of things. Not too mention it could be a driving force in getting to the next level

No complaints about my bench. I guess doing teh squats also help me with the leg drive on the bench press. Also, having someone spot me on the heavy sets helps (alot of it is really in my head).
