High Volume at high max effort week 3

Here are my logs for the last 2 weeks. I've still continued on
with the goal of 1 main lift doing 10 sets of 3 reps, followed by another
lift usually done with lower weight and higher reps. I'm nearing the
end of my 3rd week and my body seems to be telling me that its
time for a deload to let my connective tissues get a break.

I also learned something/reinforced something that I've read. I did a lot of bench press volume early on but
then I started feeling discomfort in my back/shoulder when doing Pendlay Rows
So I guess the bench press really does tax your back/shoulders to stabilize the weight.

Changing things up

Just a quick note, I started logging numbers at Weightxreps since the site makes charts and graps for you.

Here are my logs for the last couple of weeks. I decided to go ahead and really end Madcow. Reading about other 
members experiences on higher volume routines like 531 and Sheiko made me want to try a few things on my own for 
a short time while I decide what program to do next. So this week I started basically picking 1 main lift to do 10 sets of 3 reps 
at a fairly heavy weight and then with whatever time I have left I'll do excercises at lower weights in the 5-8 rep 
range. I've done two session so far and I enjoyed the first session on bench press as the main lift. My 2nd
session was deadlift as the main lift and boy today I'm feeling beat up  If my body doesn't adapt soon then I'll only be able 
to keep this up for a few weeks before needing a deload.
