Program:
Strong lifts 5X5

Week 1
Squat 130-185
bench 120-180
Row 135-155
OHP 80-80
Dead 140-160

Week 2
Squat 190-200
bench 190
Row 155-175
OHP 80-90
Dead 160-180

My first 2 weeks I just kept adding weight trying to find what my 5RM was I was surprised to see how much I could really lift.


Week 3
Squat 200-265*
bench 190-205
Row 180-185
OHP 90-115
Dead 185-235

In week 3 I believe this is were I made the mistake is adding to much weight to the squat, everything else felt good. Some of the lifts are slowing down and its taking a little longer rest in between sets about 2-3 min.

Week 4
Squat 265-270
bench 210-226*
Row 190
OHP 115-125
Dead 130-235

really started to notice that my squats are really bad might have pulled a calf muscle by coming up on the ball of my feet.
Also started to use micro plates to aid in adding weight a little slower now.

Week 5 (a quick de-load and form check)
Squat 190-135
bench 230-170
Row 195-145
OHP 135
Dead 235-250

Just this week I will do a little less weight to check for form mainly on squats

Your squats look pretty good.
I think you'll be putting up some big numbers in the near future!

One thing: the surface you're squatting on-- is it level? If not, that may have contributed to you coming up on the balls of your feet.

Yes it's level. I made sure before I pored the concrete..
