Notes
-I wasn't sure what weight to use for 5-3-2 day, so I planned on working up to a ~70% double.  This weight seemed about right.  My bar speed is already flying, albeit at light weights.  Lower back is tender from volume, but I suspect it will get strong fast.
-Next week I'll bump everything up a few pounds.  I'm quickly seeing that there is absolutely no reason to push it at all when you perform the lifts everyday.  55-60% feels about right, and I get the feeling it is working.  I guess we'll see soon enough.
