Notes - That was for sure challenging, though certainly no where near failure.  I mean it's constant PRs here because I have never really backsquatted or deadlifted with a bar, still sort of embarrassed by that.   So much time lost!!  Oh well, moving forward now.  I can tell the increase in newbie gains will quickly be coming to a halt soon, given that I want to keep going with 5s.  I will inch up 10 lbs for Friday on each lift and then see how that goes.  Pretty soon it will likely be adding just 5 lbs a week to the bar. The goal is obviously to try and move up both of these totals by a lot, and I mean a lot, over time.  It's clear I am going to need a coach to help me do this at my maximum ability / capacity.
