dropset 85x13, 75,65,55,45,35,25 x 15
lots of volume body, english got less at the sets got lighter
Notes:
Hyped myself up with ‘in the air tonight’ to do the 120x18 deadlift. Worked like a charm, pulled it mostly touch and go with a few time settling the weight. Grip was slipping, but I was destroying the set. There was no need to do more reps because I ‘graduated’ 20kg on my training max, but I am very sure at least 20 reps were there. I opted to do a few dense sets of 5 after that because I wanted some more technical reps.
The pretty easy single at 150 and very doable 120x18 followed by 4x5 give me a ton of confidence in my strength moving forwards

Juggernaut method worked great, but it has been hard to motivate myself to go to the gym. Part of that was the pressure of performing on the amrap sets, which made me take extra days off to kill those sets…which spiraled out of control. It gave me too much worrying.
Next to that, my belt is way looser than a few weeks back, which takes KGs of my DL and squat. I have to get new holes made.
Because of this I chose programming close to the template Christian Thibaudeau made in ‘how I added 100 lbs to my deadlift in 2 weeks’. While I am under no impression that is going to happen, I like the set up.
My basic structure is this:
Main lift with a double progression. For squats I chose 5 sets with a range between 3 and 5, and I was a bit conservative this week since weights felt heavy as shit. So when I reach 5x5 with 2 min rest in between with 120kg, I graduate to the next weight.
Next is a assistance move with double progression with heigher reps. The plan was 80kg front squats for 8 reps, but I wasn’t ready for that at all. I did what I could this week. Next week will me 70kg for 5 sets. I will shoot for sets between 6 and 8 reps, also 2 min rest in between sets.
Then I pick 3 assistance movements. No compounds for lower body, maybe for upperbody. Shoot for around 3 sets, maybe formulate some goals, but not too worried about those. Just hit (close) failure 3 times per exercise. I think every day will include at least 1 horizontal or vertical pull since every big name in the industry harps about the value of a high pull to push ratio. Next to that: I want a ginormous back, and I really don’t have that at the moment.
