LP Day 22

1. Squat
390 lbs x 5 reps @ 9.5
390 lbs x 5 reps @ 10
390 lbs x 5 reps @ 10  

2. Romanian Deadlift
225 lbs x 5 reps @ 7.5
240 lbs x 5 reps @ 8
250 lbs x 5 reps @ 8  

3. One Arm Farmer's Walk
2 trips each side - 70 lbs x 40 feet

Notes
I feel crushed.  Warming up with 135 my lower back still felt sore.  I knew it was going to be an interesting session.  Every squat set was limit.  I've got plans for the next 5 sessions.  I'm going to begin a mini-taper this Saturday, by dropping the deadlift back off set of 5. Then throughout the week, I'll selectively drop volume on certain lifts, except for bench.   The following Saturday I will hit:

405x3x5 Squat
160x3x5 Press
495x1 and 455x5 Dead

After that I'll take a full week deload and move into the next phase.  I believe I can still run a linear program, but I can no longer add 5 lbs every 3-4 days on squats.  The last squat set tonight was one of the hardest of my life.
