Change approach. Start doing ab work on tues or Thurs. Grip work on tues or thurs. Just to old and tired to do 5 days a week. Start getting up 10 min earlier. Remember “Derek” you are not 20 years old anymore. 
Your lifts are Rock!

Derek,
Just read your log - great to have another Texan here. I’m in Austin.
I moved here from Oregon many years ago and can still have family there. If you want to know about the NW I can fill you in. In a nut shell if you like blue sky, sunshine and working out in your garage year round you may have trouble adjusting. 
Wish I had enough space in the garage to workout. Be sure to call out your PR’s for the rest of us 5/3/1 dudes.

Thanks for the Info on the NW. Will be real hard to move away from Texas, moved here as a kid from Tenessee. Hadn’t thought about the PR’s. In my head I have these goals for the end of the year and right now while I might get PR’s it just doesnt register. I will go back and edit my log. My little sister lives in Austin. We and the family just moved here from Corpus Christi, Houston is a little bit of a shock (traffic). I just made space in my garage, told the wife she can park outside.
GO COWBOYS.

Good work. Sorry about the 'Boys. Maybe they will fire Wade and hire a real coach, but I doubt it. They have too much talent to keep getting beat like that when it counts.

Thanks, I will say that as a long time fan at least they got rid of the trash. (Sorry but TO, PacMan, Tank Johnson) all of these guys are not team players. They have a good young team, a few more pieces and they can compete for a long time. I would rather be like Philly or Indy always in it instead of one year wonder and then rebuilding for another 5 years.
