Daily Report:
Notes: New 5 RM on back squat and bench press. I was focusing on depth on the squats, the weakness was definitely that initial push out of the hole. Bench press was surprisingly fast and easy. Trying to get two good, solid runs in this weekend.

Nutrition: Daily diet for the last month or two has consisted of grape nuts and whole milk for breakfast, typically 1/2 to 1lb of chicken or beef for lunch and another 1/2 to 1lb of chicken or beef as well as vegetables for dinner. I have been drinking approx a 1/2 gallon of whole or chocolate milk daily. On my run days I limit milk to early in the morning and post workout as I find it hard to run within a 2-3 hour window of drinking it.

Daily Report:
Notes: This was the 10th day of Dan John's 40 day workout. So far I really like it. Hit an easy double on the deadlift at 335# as well as an easy double at 225# on the bench press. I have been doing leg extensions, hamstring curls and back extensions every day and I feel much sturdier on both the squat and deadlift. Swings are becoming much easier as well.
