Hi florelius. Sorry I didn’t get back sooner things got busy for me. Anyway, that omelete sounds massive. I’ve only made omeletes half that size. Thinking about it that thing would probably be larger than any plate I have in my house. It sounds good.

I enjoy lifting very much. What I’m doing is hpmass oriented. This last week I missed a few sessions while getting ready for tests though.

You’re looking at a lot of church stuff this semester. I wish you luck. I’m usually ready for sleep when anything religous comes up lol.

Is the weight you’re lifting beginning to feel easier? With 5/3/1/ I progressed in jumps and not a steady linear fasion. Sometimes when I thought I was reaching a point where I thought I may need to re-max on everything suddenly the weight became manageable or even pretty light the next lifting cycle.

Also, I found simply lifting the prescribed reps vs. going all out to be surprisingly effective.

Dont worry about it, I am jsut glad to se that you still are keeping a tap on me.

Yes I can assure that it taste good ;), bacon is life

Good to hear, HPMASS type training does sound interresting, but I think it is a bit to much for me. I also think that you missing a couple of sessions aint that bad, because of the increased frequency and after school is important to :slight_smile:

Haha, If you havent noticed I frequent the PWI alot. Meaning I find religious and political subjects appealing, but the history of the norwegian churc in the middle ages is truth be told rather boring, there is a reason I have to take it one more time LOL

On deadlift I think the weights feel the same from cycle to cycle, but then again I have only done two cycles with deads, so I guess time will tell. On squat and bench I just finnished my first cycle so I cant really tell you, but I expect the weights to feel easier and I expect more reps on the final set on bench. First time I tried 5,3,1 for 1,5 years ago I did get some tremendous rep maxes the second cycle, so I expect the same thing this round also.

On deads this is my strategy and I feel it is good, because for my part max rep set on deadlift jsut kills me. On squat I will shot for 5reps on the last set every week this next cycle, on bench I will shot for 10+ on the last set on the 5+ and 3+ week, on the 1+ week I hope to hit 8reps, just like I did this cycle on the last week of bench.

As a sidenote: i feel that only doing the prescribed reps are superior if you want to improve form and I need to check my form on squat and deads.

ps. Still wish to see you make a log.

Best regards from flo :slight_smile:

for those who follows this log, here is some music I like.

Its a norwegian band that makes some kick ass tunes in my opinion and it was my favorite band back in high school. The band is no more though because their guitarplayer Robert Buras died a few years back. I love the vocal and I hope some of you do to :slight_smile:

enjoy :slight_smile:

Hey it’s great to see that you are making some progress! You clearly added some muscle on your back seeing your avatar. Don’t take it in a bad way but I didn’t believe you could make progress anymore. I am pretty pleased that you proved me wrong.

Thanks for the kind words jasmincar and I dont take it the bad way at all, I was clearly fucking around for a while, but luckily I have been able to settle with one program for the last 3 or so months and must say that consistency pays off :slight_smile:
I Just have to keep it up and good thinks must happen, maybe even reaching my dream of a 100kg benchpress in a not to distant future :wink:
