I was going to do my ORM for Squat and Bench again this week but then I realized I was just wasting valuable training time. Anyway I'm not going waste it since I'll be doing ORM's on the 5th of April or a little later, that's time better spent training which I'll get to in a second. I changed up my program, I've completely left 5/3/1 despite excellent training gains because it was just getting to simple in the gym and I wasn't leaving everything on the Bench/Platforms like I'd like. I'll put up a current profile/stats that I was prior to 5/3/1 and where I am currently but first to the work.
 
Bench:
Warm Up
45# 1 x 10
95# 1 x 5
135# 1 x 5
 
Work
170# 3 x 5 (I didn't go for the extra reps on the last set like I should have but I'll make sure to do so on Friday).
 
Curls(40#):
1 x 12
1 x 10

Squat:
Warm Up
135# 1 x 5
185# 1 x 5

225# 3 x 5 (Same problem as Bench, I forgot to make the set a 5+).

Neck Harness(25#):
4 x 25

So all in all a good workout. Here's my profile pre 5/3/1:

Age: 25
Weight: 170#
RHR: 50-55 bpm
Height: 5' 11"

ORM
Bench:     205# 
Squat:      255#
Deadlift:  355#
Press:       155#
Clean:      N/A

BSD Total:  815#
PSD Total:  765#

225# Bench Rep Count: N/A

and my current lifting profile, after 3 months of 5/3/1:

Age: 25
Weight: 175#
RHR: 60-65 bpm
Height: 5' 11"

ORM
Bench:     255# 
Squat:      300#
Deadlift:  425#
Press:       175#
Clean:      185#

BSD Total:   980#
PSD Total:   900#

225# Bench Rep Count: 3

So my weight has gone up 5 lbs but in the last 3 months my Bench has increased by 50# (could be more but I'll see what I'm at on April 5th. My Squat has increased to 300#  a 45# increase but I believe I can hit 315# the next time; again just waiting til the 5th. My deadlift has seen the most improvement increasing by a staggering 70# over the last 3 months, I look forward to hitting 525# in the future but I believe 445# isn't out of the question on the 5th. My press has jumped up to 175# the smallest increase (only 20#) but one of the most rewarding seeing as I can now Press my bodyweight, something a lot of lifters have a problem doing. So the switch to the GSLP Program should continue to tear my body a new one and let me continue to see gains.

"What do I Fear?

I Fear stagnation and lack of progress.
I Fear never reaching my potential and being average.
I Fear being forgotten... the Past... Yesterday's news.
I Fear giving up and being passed by, going softly into that good night.
I Fear letting those I love down, letting myself down.
I fear settling, giving in to the 'That's just the way it is' mindset.
I Fear dying without leaving my mark.
I Fear not feeling these fears anymore and just floating along.
These Fear feed me, the nourish my drive.

I love my Fear."
