Good squats mate! Having a log has helped me loads.
I decided for some added motivation to do a log. Last year I weighed in at 125kg at 6ft 1. I got my weight down to 100kg and I have been hovering around 100-105kg for the past 6 months. I have been working in the gym on a 5x5 program and getting ready for the new rugby season, so doing a lot of cardio and pre-season training. I haven't played for over 3 years now. I have been asking for advice on what I should do program wise and am looking into changing my program perhaps.
Anyway today;

Warmup 5xbar
5x30kg
5x30kg
5x30kg
5x30kg
5x30kg - bit too light, done some extra reps and felt too comfortable.
3x12 weighted situps with 7kg ball.
Wed;
Sqaut/Incline/ & Deadlift - Going to add Milt Press as well. Or perhaps swap for Incline.
Anyway lets see how my progression gets on (it has been going well up to this point). Also my routine should be changing soon.
Thanks, I hope it helps me a bit more, as already have the motivation from what I came from to now, but sometimes lately I've slipped up and ate garbage all weekend with alcohol!
Squats, love them, my strongest lift, although I can see my bench hitting 70 easily soon.
Exactly my aim, I was doing 3x8 110kg at one point, just getting it gradually back up and then up to 150kg. Aye easy to slip at this time of year, too many 21sts and stuff for me!
Took it easy today, done some light lifting with deadlift as hurt my back a little, practicing technique. Little bit disappointed with the weights, hopefully all goes well next few sessions these will be ramped back up to normal.

Weight - 105kg (Down from 125kg)
Bf - 25% ( That's a guess, I will post photo and see what you guys think).
Done OK tonight, not much more than the main three lifts, been very tired this week and had a tough training session at rugby last night. Can see positive gains though.
