First off I'm kind of pumped because I blasted my goal of being able to deadlift my body weight out of the water.
1 rep max is pretty much 225lbs
2 reps 220lbs
3 reps 210lbs
4 reps 205lbs
by this point I was feeling very fatigued, so I decided to stop deadlifting while my form was still good.
My bench press also went up, but not as much...
3 reps 145lbs
3 reps 135lbs
4 reps 125lbs
4 reps 115lbs
I was starting to feel pretty tired so I decided to go hit the heavy bag. I only managed 3 rounds this time, I think I am still tired from my 5 rounds yesterday, and a combination of lifting, so I'm not worried about it. I'm going to approach boxing like I do lifting, go as hard as you can until you can't do it with good form, then quit. Hopefully I increase my endurance on the bag like I increase the weights on the bar.
I have made a few changes this week that I thought I should note. First, Monday I started trying to drink a gallon of water a day. I get close, but I just want to make sure I'm getting enough water. Then I obviously made my workout change. and.... that's all I can think of right now.
oh! on Monday I was craving carbs like crazy, so I went to fazolies (Italian fast food) and got a big bowl of pasta... amazing, but thats not the point. I was up to 170.6 on yesterday morning (Tuesday). For dinner last night I had raw almonds, and- get this- 12 oz's of co-jack cheese. For desert I had some Honey roasted almonds. I was very full (and sick of cheese at that point ^_^) but didn't feel sick, just full. I woke up this morning and weighed myself at 167.4lbs!

That sounds like a good workout plan. The only thing I would recommend is pull-ups or chin-ups.
I like Pavel's philosophy, part of the reason I have two kettlebells.
Good point on the pull ups, I think that will help my upper back stay strong since the bench pretty much takes care of everything in the front upper half.
