Bench press
55 x 6, 65 x 4, 70 x 2, 75 x 1, 80 x 1
Deadlift
150 x 6, 160 x 4, 175 x 1, 175 x 1 (fail)
Squats
Meant to do 70 x 20 but... couldn't!
70 x 6, 65 x 14 with lots of breaks in that 14
Not sure why I felt weak today on both deadlift and squats, but IDRGAS. Just glad to be lifting something. And pleased with the bench press.

I'd separate that squat wo to one where there's less posterior chain activity (hello heavy DL!).
Also, 5lb jumps are huge. I don;t think Health+ has microplates but they are needed to do this properly.
Captain Crish's Muscle Box is calling.
Nice work on the bench. As you increase, you'll notice your OHP going up too.
that's good to hear (the OHP)
they have 2.5 weights at HealthPlus.
if i still wanted to do some squats during a workout like that, would you just recommend doing fewer reps - maybe the 6, 4, 2, 1 thing? Or just skip them entirely?
"Also, 5lb jumps are huge. I don;t think Health+ has microplates but they are needed to do this properly."
2.5lbs on each side is 5 pounds. We have 1.25s at the CrishDome.
If you absolutely must do squats (and I wouldn't after DL since you do squats and squat-like exercises during the week) I'd stay light and in the 5-10 range. Or you can do sets of 5 on front squat. If you're planning to do squats later (or earlier) in the week front squats may be the way to go.
math is hard!
10-4 on the squats
