Decided to shift some things around after reading the Greyskull LP ebook; barbell stuff will remain roughly the same, but I may shift from a 5/3/1 model to a Greyskull LP one at some point soon. Otherwise, in addition to a couple short conditioning sessions every week, for the next several weeks Tuesday through Saturday I'll be working Recon Ron chinups and pushups along with work towards the Strength Villain burpee challenge. Today was 3 sets of 15 burpees, with each set inside of 45 seconds (no more than 3 seconds/burpee) and 60-second rests in between sets. I'll keep the set/rep range the same for the chinups (a conservative 6 sets of 3) and pushups (6 sets of 12) for the week, and will push my burpee reps by 1 each day so long as I can still adhere to the 3 seconds-per-burpee rule.

Also did

Bench

5 @ 80
3 @ 92.5
>1 @ 102.5 (7 reps)

Squat

2 sets 5 @ 160, 1 set >5 @ 160 (5 reps)

Feeling better about squat mechanics but know there is more tightening to be done. Also, it's worth noting that my right shoulder and collarbone are free of pain and tightness even after today's work; I realized I've been overdoing it on dips and think it will be better to become a pushup master first before working them again.
