The day i did 240x5 (a monday) i should have been doing 237.5x5 since i did 237.5x3 on the friday before it. Heh, i think i was lazy on the 240 day and it was easier to add weight to the bar than the take a big plate off and add some littler ones to get it exact.

I did the math based on the 237.5 (times .025) just to keep the steady increase up. Which is about 5-6 lbs per week right now. I still don't know if i'm 'allowed' to take a bigger jump in weight if i know i can handle it or if i'm supposed to just let it steadily climb. So far steadily climbing is working nicely so i've just been staying with that.

I've gone from 182 to 189 on this program so far.

Squats
120, 152.5, 185, 185

Standing Press
70, 82.5, 97.5, 110

Deadlifts
175, 210, 245, 272.5, 277.5x5

Decline Situps
45x8, 45x8, 45x8

Decline situps i stopped doing before because they really hurt my back.. I decided to try them again.. i don't know what it was, the hypers or the increasing deadlift or the new stability i'm finding from doing a standing overhead press, but they felt great. They were really easy and there was no pain! So i'm going to be doing decline situps one day and the ab crunch machine the other day for now.

I was dumb on my deadlifts and put 272.5 lbs for my 4th set, which i think is what i did last week. So though i really didn't want to add the extra volume i went ahead and did a 5th set at the proper weight (277.5) just to have the weight increase. I was fine for it though. I feel really strong on them like i can just keep on increasing it for a long time to come.
