weight loss going well

Have been able to lose weight lately without giving up strength.

Fit into a black shirt tonight that hasn't fit in quite awhile. I wasn't as ecstatic as people on TV are when they lose weight, but it was nice to be able to wear the shirt.

Lifting Summary this week:

B Squat: 265 x 5 x 5
OHP: 125 x 5 x 5
Bench: 195 x 5 x 5 (failed and reset at 200)
Deadlift: 335 x 1 x 5
Bicep Curls: 100 x 8s x 5r

Decided this week to embrace Pavel's philosophy. Every rep is a deposit in the bank, only going to make major withdrawls at competitions.
So, I'll aim for 5x5 on a weight. If I make it, I'll advance the next workout at keep the 5x5 scheme. If I don't make it, I'll drop down 10%, and switch to 8s x 5r. Then, when I'm back at the point of reset, I'll try for 5x5 again.
