In basic, we did pullups 5 times a week. I think I could probably hit 16-20 in 1 set right now; I never maxed it though. I'm not adding 2 sets because the way the program is set up for me not to change it. I don't want to jump weight either; I like the linear progress.
I'm back and ready to get big and strong!

-Really hard hitting the gym today but I did it anyhow. Was bricklaying all day. Civil Engineering is a rough field.
-Squats felt awesome for some reason. On that last set I felt like I could have hit 5 more. Even more motivating I saw a guy with perfect ATG form on 3 plates. He was big too
-Deadlift was rough because my lowerback was so sore from just work today but I pulled through it and got every rep
-Gotta wake up at 4:00 AM tonight; sucks.

-had CQ shift Friday so I missed the workout so I made it up today. That makes my next workout on Monday like usual.
-MP was way too easy last time so I went up 10 pounds today and did just fine.
-Squat technique is getting better because I'm sitting back better and still working on getting better flexibility in my hamstrings.
