Sweet

I'm going to Boston on Thursday so I squeezed a bunch of workouts in before I go.

Monday:
Squat 365lbs 3x5. Was really happy about this. I couldn't even do 1x5 2 weeks ago.
Bench 225lbs 3x3. Light day on bench.
Power cleaned up to 180lbs. Didn't feel nearly as good today. It seems to be a very "groovy" type of movement where the weight I can do on good days vs bad days are hugely different.

Tuesday:
Press 150lbs 1x5. Finally got this.
Deadlift 375x1, 395x1, 415x1. Felt happy about this. 375 was my max a couple of months ago.

  1. Damn dude good work on the squat/press/dead. Thats huge. Looks like you're still making steady gains? Do you attribute the improvements to switching it up from SS to TM?

  2. Actually my programming for deadlifts are stupid simple. I just pull one top set of 5 every week. I think I'm one of those people whose deadlifts go up when they do it less often. It's certainly what I'm seeing. Squats also probably have some carryover.

    For squats, I actually switched back to linear progression. I'm off the calorie deficit now so that helps. Plus I think I accumulated a lot of volume during my month on TM which helps.
