Workout Log, no program, hip rehab week

Monday (2-20-2012)
squat 225 lb 3x5
press 115 lb 3x5
deadlift 275 lb 1x5
chinups 10, 7, 6

Wednesday
squat 235 lb 3x5
bench 195 lb 3x5
deadlift 285 lb 1x5
dumbbell row 100 lb 3x6 each side

Friday
squat 245 lb 5, 3, 2
press 120 lb 5, 3, 2
pullups 10, 8, 6

Weight (Friday): 179 lb

Notes: Just getting back in the gym habit and re-learning some of the basics with better form now that I've read Starting Strength, 3rd Edition.  Plan for next week is to try out a Berkhan-style RPT split routine.  I hate splits (mostly due to the DOMS), but I'm not sure I have the recovery capacity necessary to progress any farther with full-body routines.

Cutting with PTTP, week 2

Monday (2-13-2012)
squat 275 lb 5, 3, 2
bench 205 lb 5, 3, 2
dumbbell row 100 lb 3x5

Weight (Friday): 178 lb

Notes:  Still feeling pain in my hip, so I took the rest of the week off.  May end up taking this week off entirely from lower-body work.  Extremely unhappy about it, but it's this or permanent injury.
