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. | ||

 Hill sprints are fun! Member 731, 3253 posts SQ 200, BP 127.5, DL 232.5560.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Billwest said: 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! | ||

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. | ||

Member 541, 5108 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Sunday Squat (to 12.5") 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 120kg x 3 140kg x 3 160kg x 5 Leg Curls pin10 x 10 x 3 sets Hacks 80kg x 10 90kg x 10 100kg x 10 Planks x 2 Stretching Good session today. Was aiming for a triple@160 and got a bonus 2 reps, though the last was a bit of a grind. Best squatting for a few months. | ||

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. | ||

Member 541, 5108 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Tuesday bench 20kg x 10 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 100kg x 2 110kg x 1 120kg x 1 100kg x 7 Lat Raises 35lb x 10 x 3 sets Curls 35lb x 8 x 3 sets 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. | ||

Member 541, 5108 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Thursday Deadlift 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 150kg x 3 190kg x 5 DB Row 100lb x 10 x 3 sets Pulldowns 80kg x 8 x 3 sets Incline sit ups 2 x 20 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! | ||

bollocks to global warming Member 475, 1735 posts SQ 200, BP 125, DL 235560.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | 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 | ||

Member 541, 5108 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Sunday Bench 20kg x 8 60kg x 8 80kg x 8 100kg x 8 Incline Press 60kg x 5 75kg x 5 85kg x 5 85kg x 5 85kg x 5 Pressdowns Pin13 x 15 x 3 sets Reverse curls 3 sets 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. | ||
