This program has definitely pushed me to the edge on pretty much a daily basis. Ready to get it finished Friday and reward myself with 2 weeks off (family vacation in Europe).
Bench, deadlift, and OHP were all tough today. I stopped 1 rep short on both bench and OHP. I might could've gotten the last rep on both, but confidence was too low for me to push it. I did hit all reps on deadlift. I had to sit and collect myself after that last set. Legs were twitchy while I was sitting, odd feeling.
The rest of the workout went fine. Got some good muscle burning, but hit everything as expected.

I’ve been reading your log, and the program sounds interesting. It’s one of the few I don’t have. Is it more like silverback with more accessory work, or like oak tree? Debating what I want to run after the Pool Season party in June.

Heavy squat day, done! Happy to have this one complete.
Back squats were heavy. Took them slow and steady to completion. The paired chin-ups were solid and have shown great improvement. The front squats were worse on my arms/shoulders than they were on the legs. Completed all reps, but they slowed considerable as I had to push to get them done.
As far as the bent rows go, I've had to decrease the weight a couple times throughout the plan to maintain form. I went a little lighter today and kept good form throughout the sets/reps. I probably could've gone up a little to appease my ego, but stayed low to plan the longer game.
I pushed thru the cardio portion as written. BB curls and DB shrugs were fine. I've been going a little lighter on the alt DB curls as my tendonitis has been acting up. That's the limiting factor currently on a few lifts.
I've dropped 8.5# bodyweight since I started this plan. I suspect that is a large part of my issue on why some of these various sets and lifts are harder than they've been in the past. I'm willing to lower my training numbers to drop weight and be overall healthier.
