Got back to the gym this afternoon...
I've decided to drop Stronglifts for at least at month. I'm going to go by feel. I need a break from the repetition...
I've gotten a bit weaker over the past couple of weeks from stress, so I don't feel like posting my routine until I'm back at my old strength.

BP: (5, 3) 160; (7, 6) 135
Inverted rows: (3x5) 125 *PR*
Dips: 8, 6, 5
Been stressed from final projects and exams. Can't wait to go home! 5 nights, and then I'm back in business!

Re: Ruhtroh's Training Journal!
Thanks for the words, both of you. Feeling better about OHP. I feel like my form has improved a bit.
I definitely eat too many carbs. It's an easy way to get calories around here. There are juices and vegan cookies (Alternative Baking Company... delicious).

You could post a video of your squats and ask people to look over your form

Leg press machine
Bench press: (5, 5, 5, 3, 2) 160
DL: (1x5) 305. TONS of reps at 225 and 135.
Quick workout today.
I've decided to deload the DL again because my form isn't the best. Will go back down to 225.
