On deadlift, sort of I suppose. I was getting nowhere with the low rep stuff so decided to up the reps and it seems to be working. Might give it an extended run on deadlift at least.

5/3/1 is a weird one in my opinion.
When I ran it for both squat and deadlift I found that my ability to do reps improved massively, but big singles the improvement wasn't as great. I think Wendler addressed this problem in 5/3/1 for powerlifting by adding in big singles once in a while. Maybe try that?
Each to their own though obviously!

Beyond 5/3/1 sorts it all out.

This was my experience too, but I just want to do something to break the mould. If I can get up to a few reps at say 200, then I know I'm in the right area strengthwise to start lowering the reps and hit something big.

Cheers, I will look at that. All I've seen is a 220 page pdf and I think work will think I am taking the piss if I print that out in its entirety

It's 131 pages, so 66 pages if you print it out double sided.
If you have an iPad you can open it in iBooks though.

OK session. Pleased to get a single@120, best at this bodyweight, but the set@100 was all over the place. I'm sure 8 reps there on a good day. Shoulders tired quickly today.

It's been a hard week back teaching this week and I had no energy for this session and it showed. 5@190 is not disastrous but fresh I think I have 6-8 reps in me even at this bodyweight, which was up to 92.7 this morning. Yikes!

Work certainly gets in the way of pleasure doesn't it !!
Some really nice sessions going on in here. I think keeping mental stress levels down is a big factor in recovery from training. What do you teach ?

Cheers Mike, I teach English to foreign students, so generally not that stressed, but the 1st week or two of every semester needs a lot of planning and mental energy. In a week or two I'll be back to normal I'm hoping

Good session. Pleased to get 8@100, that's another milestone (re-achieved). Of the minor milestones I wanted to hit a month ago (1 x 120kg/3 x 110kg 5 x 105kg/ 8 x 100kg) All have been achieved. It's fair to say that although it has always been my weakest lift, is the one closest to where I was before the weight loss.
Weight this morning 92.4, so still 6kg + lighter than last summer.
