Broke my leg at basic training in August. Just now getting back to squats and deads. Starting 5/3/1 with a 185 squat and 245 deadlift. I deadlifted 305 last February. Congrats to everyone working hard.
No excuses, lift hard.[/quote]
That’s a bummer. You’ll get it back though.
I’ll Probably need until end of the year for the squat (deadlift is already there), but im in!
Hit 230 x 5 tonight. Looking forward to trying more on Friday!
I other news I was supposed to bench like this today
180 x 5
205 x 5
Instead my training partner miscalculated and ended up loading it to 190 for the first set. Getting those 5 was doable but more difficult then it should have been, and I ended up hitting 205 for 4 instead of 5. Fuckin’ pissed. Should I still move up to 210 x 3 on Friday?
Thanks Jaynick. I am doing 5/3/1 and today is deadlift day.
Did 205 for 15!

If you’re doing 5/3/1 I recommend doing 210 for 3 as planned, shit like misloaded bars will happen. I would finish the cycle before resetting.
thanks bro
Sure, anytime. Just for clarification, when I said “I would finish the cycle before resetting.” if you get 210 for 3 and you get your (220?)1+ on 5/3/1 day don’t reset just keep going as normal.
Kay so
305x3 Deadlift
270x5 Squat
as of today. I know I can Deadlift 315 for 1, but I know me saying that isn’t good enough, so next thursday I’m going to try 315 for a triple… Squat is near a 315 1rm too, another 2-3 weeks and I’m pretty sure I’ll have it, not sure when I’ll actually test it though.
*Edit: I’m weighing in @ 154 lbs, 5’10" in case anyone is curious.

Gratz. We have similar stats on our DL. It’s weird cuz I can only get 5reps at 305 on the Sumo DL but I can get 10reps on my Squat at 285.
Thats a 20 lb difference, whats weird about that?

a 20 lb difference between a 10rm and a 5rm for the squat and deadlift respectively is a little weird I guess, in his opinion atleast

Thank you. Do you squat wide or shoulder width? Just curious because maybe the sumo pulls have been helping your squat if you squat wide, because the muscles are being used similarly etc
235 x 3 squats today…
Also for those of you playing along at home. 210 x 3 bench.
Got 275 for a pretty easy single today. I usually don’t push failure, so having maximal weight on my back was something I wasn’t use too. I’ve also been very sick, so 275 (should have attempted 285, could have gotten it) is something I can be happy with. I know I’ll be able to knock out 295 in about 4 weeks, so not that worried.
Went 140x1 tonight and split my shorts.
Thats 3 plates in metric. But only 308#. So, did I make it… Or am I going to have to squat the 143kg to make it count?
143kg it is!
