Make yourself a log.
Write out each day's training, and then leave a row to fill in with the weight used over the next 6 weeks.
So you have bench, for example, then 6 spaces to fill in over the next 6 weeks. Take it to the gym and fill in the numbers as you lift, that way you can check what you did the next week before you start training. And in 3 months, you can check back and see where you have made progress and where you did not.
I left room on mine to fill in the time of day, my mood, sleep, and any other circumstances that may affect my performance. You will be surprised how patterns emerge after a while in how you perform in relation to events outside the gym.

(would it not be more productive to do the 140 first then the 155?)

providing he's done warm ups before 155, no it wouldn't...even then just do 3 sets at 155 and stay with it until all 3 sets are at 12

What happened was I did the 155lbs then I realized that that was too much then I lowered the weight.

185 for lunges, that's some crazy shit right there. Is that a typo?
Yes 5x5x both legs.

I went down to where my knee was about 2 inches off the ground because I didn't want to plant my knee into the tile. Trust me when I say I was freakin dying while doing them, that's why I asked if it was 5 reps per leg.

Well, 82.5lbs DB here for walking lunges. So I guess his form must be good. Look at his squat too, that's almost just normal he's that strong with lunges

get your elbows right up and hold at the top for each rep...also keep your shoulders down and scapula held down and back the entire time

you can chin up / pull up can't you?

it be better to do them with 60pds strapped to you then pulldowns (both 250pds)
