Did back work on Teusday (deadlifts, rows, pull-ups, etc...)
Today I swam 15 laps, 100 meters each.

How come for your workouts you like to go up, then down, then up? Like on bench today for example. I've noticed that a lot in past workouts as well.

Bench is looking good cort.
GSC he is probably waving his sets to get a neural response out of his system.
Here is the basic principle:
You use a heavy weight, drop down to a weight that before you could only do 5 reps with but now due to neural stimulation you will get x amount of more reps.

Yeah, if you wanna get all scientific about it 
The weight "feels" lighter after I hit that heavier set. Sometimes I also feel that I went overboard with the weight and need to drop it down if I want to hit my intended amount of reps. I imagine it like this. Sometimes when I get under 185 to hit a warm-up single, it feels like 220. This is also why I'm somewhat against lifting only once a week, because I know that I recover faster than that and those days that I'm sitting around not working my chest or not working my squat, my body is forgetting what that weight feels like. When I come in after a week of not hitting the weights, everything feels heavier than if I had hit it 3 days after my last workout.
Saturday
Squat
1 x 3 @ 255
1 x 3 @ 270
1 x 3 @ 265
SLDL
2 x 6 @ 245
I'm going to drop the volume per workout on legs so I can hit them more often throughout the week. Doing legs only once a week seems to be holding me back. I think I'm going to go back to that 3x3 routine again, but modify what I did last time a little with more dynamic effort so that I'm only hitting it heavy twice a week.
Swimming
12 100 meter laps.

Monday
Deadlifts
2 x 4 @ 295 (off 2 35's stack)
2 x 4 @ 315 (off 1 35 stack)
2 x 3 @ 345
1 x 3 @ 355
I kinda feel like I should've moved up more than I have here, but I can forgive myself since I dropped the straps its just a tiny bit harder. My glutes were cramping up like crazy though, so I took it easy with the squats later on.
Pull-ups
2 x 8 @ BW + 25
Incline
1 x 4 @ 175
(bailed after that set, my forearms were scrapped. Literally cramped up so bad I couldn't let go of the bar.)
Box squats (not sure how deep, didn't measure the plates I stacked.)
2 x 8 @ 205
I forgot the rows now that I think about it.
I'm thinking I'll take a week off from the weights and start a new routine with the 3x3 setup. I've been going at it at least 12 weeks straight, and probably more than that, and I'm really starting to feel strained.
Teusday
Swimming
1 hour doing laps in the 50 meter (100 meter laps) pool for about an hour.

How long does it take you to do 1 mile in the pool - one hour? I've started swimming just this week & I'm whipped after 1/2 hour. You're the man!

Nice pullups man. Screw the straps man, in the end it will work out a lot better.

I'm not really sure, probably over 30 minutes but I usually have to rest about 15-20 seconds in between laps after the first few. For some reason it gets my heart rate up and busts my endurance a lot more than running ever has.
and yeah Dark, I just had to get this chalk first, and I kept putting it off. There was no way I could've kept on holding onto 300+ for multiple sets beforehand.
