Purple PR Eater log
Hello again strong friends.
For those unaware, stats: Female, 26 yo, 5'4'', 135lbs or so
I started the SS novice LP thingy in May 2016 then did some HLM, a bit of 4-day TM split (which worked great for my presses, not so much for squats and pulls) and now I'm trying out 531. I've just finished my 2nd cycle. I like the fluctuation in reps and weights, and a bit more variety with assistance stuff. Also the deload week times perfectly with my period when I don't want to lift anything heavier than a pint of Ben & Jerry's.
All time PRs (some dating from around 6 months ago):
Low bar squat: 175 lbs (1x1, with belt), 147.5 lbs (1x3, no belt)
Conv. deadlift: 179 lbs (3x1, with belt), 157.5 lbs (1x5, no belt)
Overhead press: 80 lbs (1x2), I have used a belt but have since surpassed those PRs without the belt
Bench press: 100 lbs (3x2), I've never used a belt to bench
Power clean: 110 lbs (1x1), also never used a belt
Chin ups: 2x1
Goals, aside from getting back up to my previous PRs:
SQ: 200 lbs (1x1)
DL: 200 lbs (1x1) (I hate deadlifts)
OP: 95 lbs (1x1)
BP: 135 lbs (1x1)
PC: 135 lbs (1x1)
CU: BW (1x5)
My lifts are most definitely not at the level they should be for having "lifted" for 15 months, but better than if I had stuck with the standard recommendations for exercise.

Re: Purple PR Eater log
Thanks all.
I'll keep my log going "over there" for now, and make copious use of copy/paste in the meantime.

OP - 45 lbs (3x10)
BB Rows - 55 lbs (3x10)
Ass. Dips - 10 kg (8,6,6)
Ass. CU - 10 kg (4,3,3)
15 min incline treadmill
Tuesday, October 3:
DL - 112.5 lbs (1x5), 127.5 lbs (1x5), 145 lbs (1x10!) Booyah!
SQ - 85 lbs (3x10)
Split SQ - 45 lbs (2x10)

DB Row - 25 lbs (2x10)
I was aiming for 145x7 for a 1 rep PR but it felt really good and I got 10 for a 10-lb PR. I will probably feel it tomorrow.
Wednesday, October 4:
14 min. moderate elliptical
11 min. moderate C2
The DOMS is real. I was supposed to sprint today but I'd prefer to be able to walk tomorrow so just did some easy cardio to get the blood flowing in my legs.

Edit: Aaaand, it's back.

Re: Purple PR Eater log
do you drink a lot of caffeine?
I used to get "migraines" when I was younger, quite often,
. . . . I was drinking way too much caffeine (and sugar) back then.
Haven't had those too much for last 10-15 years or so

Re: Purple PR Eater log
Not as a general rule. I've had 2 black teas today, but the vast majority of my migraines do occur immediately following the gym. I haven't noticed any other correlation.

Not much done today, I just felt weak after being sick for a week plus beginning of my period.
Hopefully I'll get back into it. No deload week this month because I already missed a few days.

Ah yes, supine v. lat (regular) pulldowns. Or chins v. pullups. Eventually. I hope.

I am not sure if I did 142.5 x 4 or 5, but I definitely was not going to get another one out. I think it was 5. Kind of annoying considering I did 145x5 just 2 weeks ago. To repeat or not to repeat? That is the question.
I am also debating what to do once I eventually stall out with 531. Either continue adding weight over the cycles but with the belt or reset and leave the belt off for now.

I missed the last squat at 150. Maybe on another day I would have gotten it but today I knew after rep 2 that there would be no 3. Even the warmups were heavy. I should have taken the day off but I thought I would be fine. My back has been bothering me for a few days now. I should rest it. It also doesn't help that I ate nothing but a small bowl of Corn Pops in the 6 hours preceding.
Bench and deads seem to be doing well still. Squat and press will need the belt soon.
Also, a hot dude is making training at a public gym much more pleasant
