Week 3 included more rep "PRs", and almost every session I'm increasing either weight or rep counts from past waves. The progress is slow but very steady which is what I'm shooting for. My bodyweight continues to stay in the 205 range, which is right where I want it. Heavy bench is the biggest thing that I think suffers from the lower body-weight, but I think I'll be able to acclimate to this as well over time.
