Dude, fucking same unless I flex sphincter-splittingly hard. If you figure out the solution you gotta let me know because I’m not there 
Yeah 3 months, especially if straight 5’s and bbb supplemental does get pretty boring, thus the name. I must say though… I think 5’s pro with FSL is an outstanding way to get your numbers up fairly quickly. Boring as hell, but it worked amazing for my squat and deadlift. I mentioned this in another log, but it’s also a decent way to push assistance as well due to no PR sets and pretty easy supplemental stuff.
It’s basically the same as bbb, but in my experiences with bbb, I didn’t notice any “big”. Maybe I just didn’t continue with it long enough though.
lol will do.
I’m finding it pretty difficult right now to even find the right combo of food/training to continue feeling halfway alive. I have no idea how some of the guys on here work as hard as they do, be lean or even leanish, strong as fuck, and not have it feel like their tendons are going to rip apart or fall asleep at work every day.

So… Just spitballing some TMs for this upcoming cycle…
Squat- 305
OHP- 115
Incline press- going to work up to a top set of 5 tonight and use that as my TM
Deadlift- 365, also going to work up to that tonight for the final deload workout, take the rest of the weekend to rest up and start “fresh” on Monday.
So tonight will be DL single and then incline, I’m not holding out too much hope on incline. I think it’s going to be embarrassingly low, but that’s cool. Lots of room for progress.

Everything felt good today. Left shoulder and elbows feel kinda shitty, pushups may not be the best choice for assistance. I also did quite a bit of wrenching today, so that doesn’t help either. Not exactly sure of workout order yet… Might do squats tomorrow and leave deadlifts for Saturday.

That’s a ballsy choice for assistance man, especially on the pull ups! Hope all goes well with this cycle 
Thanks man, I figure I’m doing such low weight on inclines I can kind of push assistance a little bit… If it bites me in the ass I’ll deload before leader 2 and scale it back a bit, get rid of weighted pull ups and just do straight push ups.
The anchor on this template looks intimidating tho. Kind of excited and nervous for it.
The last time I said that about an anchor I set lifetime PR’s, so I think you’re on the right track.

Well. Big man here thought 315 would be a nice easy TM. I was fucking wrong. This was intense. I kept thinking “220x20 is in the bag so 10x5 at 220 is nothing…” I was humbled here. Sweating my ass off. Ended up timing rests so I’d finish the work in an acceptable time limit, so 2 min rest between the 10x5.
My last thought for today… 5 reps is a LOT more work than 3. I need to get my work capacity up a bit lol.

Damn I felt like I worked hard this morning, then I see you did literally twice as many sets as me and 25% more weight for each. Good stuff.
Are you lighter than me too? I’m 191lb.
Didn’t know how easy I had it with Leviathan. I think I just have to get used to the workload and I’ll be ok… Until then, the DOMs will continue. We will suffer together bro.
I’m quite a bit heavier than you right now. Last time I checked (a couple weeks ago) I was around 210 at night, so 208ish in the morning maybe? I gained ~10lbs pretty quick between March and July/August this year, hoping to get my pressing up, so a little bit fat at the moment. Still seeing some abs tho.

I may have to give Pervertor a look when I am done with Reactive Pump. Trying to figure what template I want to jump into next. I’ll have to give the book another once over. Your squats are looking good dude, much better than mine.

Thanks man, and thanks for dropping by the log.
Pervertor looked awesome on paper, we’ll see how I feel about it in a few weeks.

If you don’t mind me hijacking your log for this,
I started looking into the Theraband Bar since you mentioned it. I found this video:
Which I highly recommend reading the comments on: there are some funny ones; one success story; and one non-success story. I don’t really understand the mechanism for this healing golfer’s elbow any better than doing light wrist curls would; but of course am willing to give it a try.
Please share what exercises you do with yours, and if you feel it’s effective/ineffective.
And now that I have started looking, and reading more success stories, I’m out of patience and will just buy one myself instead of waiting for your results, haha. So we can compare notes in the weeks to come.

I think mine is coming in tomorrow, I’m going to go through and do a full run down with it, look up some videos and spend some time on it. My thinking is that the real work is being done to the arm being stretched, but again, I’m just basing my knowledge off of the amazon reviews. I’m hoping it comes with an instructional booklet.
Edit: just watched the vid. Not sure man but I’m going to give it a fair shot. Bought it already so no turning back now.

Worked up to 290x5 yesterday then got called out to a no heat/hot water at an apartment building… spent the rest of the day fixing it up so deads got pushed to today. Not sure whether to start week 2 tomorrow or take a day to rest and start Tuesday. Feeling ok though. I’m staying to push rest times to get work capacity up a bit. 90 sec rest between 10x5, 2 mins for supersets.
Partied a little bit on Friday with some friends playing drinking games over zoom. Stomach was whacked out yesterday, so I have to play catch up with food today.

90 seconds between sets of deadlifts? That’s ballsy. Are you doing 5 sets of 10?
Ha, light enough that it doesn’t absolutely destroy me… Yet…
10 sets of 5 on the supplemental stuff
