* 8:30am-12:30pm-3:30pm sleep. BW 206lb. steak/rice before bed again. 7th straight day of 455x1. did not recover as good as yesterday. had 5-10lbs over the 455. still a silent lift but not as smooth/explosive as the other days. if i get the same amount of sleep as yesterday (sub 8hrs), the 455 tmrw will not be comfortable.

* BW staying at 204-206lb. 455 becomes  a sub 2.3BW. 5th straight day and i'm overpowering this now by 15-20lbs. lifted it today smoothly and quietly. lots of sleep again 11:30pm-10:00am. will get another 2:00-5:30pm nap if this post workout lunch (steak+rice) does it thing - post meal coma.. ohyes.
*  BW204-208 little by little and the 455 slowly becomes not very heavy anymore. i don't think i can go for 495 anytime soon. if my sub 2.3BW daily repeatable paused rep max formula stays, i need to be at 214lb+ to single this 495 as daily top heavy set. too much eating and strength work. too much fat weight also for my 5'10-3/4" height. (yes. 1/4" short of 5'11). 
* skipped the calf raises. there is no perfect way to use that leg press loaded with 9x45s each side x20 reps and not get some tightness in the lowerback. annoying but not really affecting my squats. calfs are 17.25"

* 4th straight day with the 455 and this was my strongest lift so far. so explosive, IMO i could have gotten 465 with the same strict pause. BW 204-206lb. slept 11:30pm-10:00am. getting all the sleep i can take til i start this long work week wed-sat night.
* calf raises with the 9x45s got to rep 18 til i had to shake it out for a few seconds so i can get full ROM again for the last 2 reps. really focus on keeping the low back planted and let all that weight go to the hips. i screwed it up a bit last time. my low back got strained a bit.
* if the 405 single is good, il go for another 455 tmrw and rest for 2-3 days while getting that sub 7hr sleep.

* already gave up on the 455 plan for today because i thought i needed a skipped day to let my back recover. back fatigued on yesterdays top set. i marked it as red on my the log to make sure i don't strain myself more lifting the top set with a tired back. was very surprised that the 405 went up strong. the explosiveness of the 405 is very accurate in determining if i can lift the 455 or not. 405 does not lie. got the 455 again today for the 3rd straight day. it was a stronger lift than yesterday. i had strong sleep. 11pm-9:30am.
* lower back also beat from the 9x45s calf raise. skipped that for now. accessory lifts can take up to 3 days off.

* 455x1 strong on the day of the 3rd work night. worked fri 7pm-8am then slept 8:30am-11:30am-1:30pm-4:00pm. was already planning on lifting after getting up at 1:30pm but i'm always weak with sub 6hr sleep. thought that i should be strong anyway after 2 rest days but the lack of complete sleep fatigues me fast. was able to squeeze in another 2.5hr nap and then i'm good to go.
* not the smoothest 455 but got a stealth lift. will be a lot stronger tmrw. BW 204 again.
* will add more volume of the loaded jump squats slowly.  the 455 is starting to feel not so heavy on the legs. core just fatigues a lot faster.

* 2nd sleep deprived day. 405 was still smooth but slow. had to put the pins in the 425 just to make sure. didn't need it. 425 was slower but also smooth. by smooth i mean there is no big slowdown to the sticking point at ~ 1/4 depth and a grind to complete the rep.
* cable rows were strong. got to rep 17 before grip gave out. sub 10sec break and got the remaining 3 reps.
* arms look a lot bigger with these 40 rep dips. skipped them today. don't want to tire the shoulder joints.

* 9am-1:30pm-3pm sleep. muscles feel alright but fatigued again from the incomplete sleep. planned on doing the cable rows but it was too tiring today. i spend so much effort in that exercise. chins and calf raises felt weak coming from a rest day.

* made lots of sleep 10:30pm-4:30am-9:30am. got little oversleep headache. 500g caffeine and i'm good to go. not the strongest 405 again but still fast enough to go for the 455. there was back collapsing and even with another strong sleep cycle, i will probably not get this comfortably tmrw. wed-fri short work week so i'l rest for 2 days. go at it again on saturday.
* whenever i get 10+hr of sleep, my BW evaporates back to 202lb. i'm upping my whey protein shakes but it feels like my weight just finds a way to get back to 200-202lb.

* 405x1 was explosive enough to go for the 455 so i did. will not count it as a no-rep. i tapped the left side pin while i was slowing down for the bottom. did this a couple of times before and was not a big issue because the bar movement was very slow anyway at that point. it sucks this time because the collars loosened up. i felt it at the bottom pause that the weight is uneven. done. took the weight and pins off. did the 425 with good speed too.
* i might as well log my jumps squats. if i do this caloric excess properly, i could get the 208BW in late Aug. that puts the 475 a sub 2.3BW. not going to be that relatively heavy anymore. while waiting to gain more mass, il do more speed work on the non-max weight days.

* consistent on the x16-18 reps on the cable rows before my grip gives out. 455 was all right but not as strong as days 1-2. torso was not very solid.  would still get a 4th day but it will not be as comfortable as the first 3 days.

* more whey protein shakes post workouts. been holding BW204 for a few days. 455x1 smoothly again today. got rid of the backoff for now. will just continue with this top set focused routine.
* cable rows - my grip was strong for x18 reps until i had to shake it out for a few seconds and get the last 2.

* got 6+2hr sleep today. felt strong on the 405 even at day 3 of 4 of my work nights. i will not get a post workout sleep. i will try to get as much sleep as i can tmrw and see if i can recover from todays. should have skipped the backoff 405 to really minimize the fatigue.
* the 10x45s on the calf raises yesterday got the 9x45s more explosive today. will use this 10x45s not too often and only on the days that i'm really feeling strong.
