Well, week 5 and I was able to PROPERLY squat 300 for 6 reps on my last set!! Super stoked about that. I felt like I could have done 8 but I didn't feel comfortable with my spotter. I forgot how heavy 300 feels.
Funny part of the evening was when I was dead lifting. I'm feeling the weight with only 240 on... the short guy next to me was doing 405! Ha ha! But, I bet my back is feeling better today than his.
Random dietary comment... Don't eat beef all day. Too hard to digest! One thing I have been very attentive to is altering where I'm getting my protein and carbs from so that I can keep eating. I never realized (in my first go-around with this) how big of an impact this makes on being able to eat more in the day. In case this helps others that have to eat as much as I... eggs or fish have been great sources of protein when my stomach is tired of digesting chicken or steak. I find there is always at least one point in the day where I'm sort of hungry, know I need to eat, but just can't stomach more food. If I eat something that's easier to digest I'm good to go!
