Logging my experiments in training as I move through strength training, conditioning, and other stuff.

Got started with the two week montana method this week, feeling good so far but it's too early to tell.

3/20/23

Squats: 6x5x102.5kg@~5.5
Paused Bench: 7x5x67.5@~5

Hard to tell with just two weeks, but it looks like it's working, so I'm running the two week cycle again.
I did add a couple sets to deadlifts, felt like I could use the volume as progress felt a bit worse, with fatigue low.
