5-7 minutes between sets is ridiculously fast, I believe I have taken as long as 5-7 weeks between sets, luckily at the commercial gym I use I can set the power rack up on Monday then come back on Wednesday of the following week to find my weights still set up and the area dusty and undisturbed [/quote]
This is too funny.
And 11 DLs sounds like 8 too many.

I had exactly the same thought. For me it would be a race to see if my back or my air gave out first.
Thanks folks! Dave, I take a breath between deads on the money sets and treat them like singles with abiut 2 seconds between reps so my back gives out before the air does. Brett, I hear you on the tendinitis, that shit is wicked in a bad way.
Krock’s Volume Leg Night:
Squats: 45 x10, 135 x5, 225 x5, 295 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 (45-60 sec. rest between sets).
Leg Press: 6 plates x 25, 25, 25, 25.
Leg Curl (quads): Some x 30, 30, 30.
Leg Curl (hammies): Some x 15, 15, 15.
Stiff-leg DB Deads: 50s x 15, 15, 15.
Notes: Tonight was fucking brutal. I mean it was fucking brutal. I almost asked for help out to the car.

50 reps at 295 sounds hard, lol. Plus all those other reps. Damn
I think I’ll wait for your assessment at the end of the program before I do something silly like try it myself.
That sounds brutal. Sessions like that are what they make walkers for.

James, thanks for stopping in. Git, so far I like it, but I’m loaded with lactic acid right now. I’m not used to this rep range and i’ve been a little lax on my hammies and single-leg work.

Leaving 45-60 seconds rest between sets of kickbacks would be tough, between sets of squats is just crazy.
Man I bet you couldn’t believe how quick that sucker ticked away.
Damn, nice job on the leg day. A perfect way to shock your system.
Muscle trama is always worse for me on the second day. Hope you can walk.
Inspiring work JK.
Thanks fellas. My quads are still crazy-sore today and I considered waiting a day to pull, but I felt better once things got rolling.
Deads Day, 3’s:
Deads: 45 x20, 135 x5, 225 x5, 275 x3, 325 x3, 395 x9 (full reset).
Zerchers: 135 x5, 225 x5, 315 x1, 365 x1, 385 x close but no cigar.
GMs: 45 x8, 135 x8, 185 x8.
Notes: 365 came up fast, so I went for a PR on Zerchers. 385 was moving nicely, but the bar started rolling on me half way up. I dropped it on the pins right around lockout. Man, o, man what a racket.
Nice, consistant progess. Color me jealous.
I am very jealous of your pulling.
Good work in here Jack.
I like how you build up to a “training max” then come off a little and do some high tension rep work.
We used to to do that with Deadlifts and overhead press to get them moving in the right direction.
That method is the Maximmum Training Weight. Used by bulgarian lifters.
Example : work up to 100 pds on said lift then take 90% and do triples or doubles but don’t exceed 12 reps. For mass then take 80%(widowmaker) of your traing max for that day and take 1 set to failure…brutal! But it works very well on the traditional powerlifting 3 day split when you take 1 or 2 main lifts a week to do the widowmaker.
Hmmmm I forgot about this method, thanks for reminding me!
HawkCapt, Joe, thanks for the encouragement! Rick, I like the sound of “Bulgarian.” I’m basically running a bench program off a spreadsheet HawkCapt sent me and winging the assistance work; running that Krock leg program that was on here recently; and then a minimal 5-3-1 deadlift day. I like this mish-mash so far.
Light Bench Day:
Bench: 45 x30, 135 x5, 5, 5, 185 x 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2.
Various Grip Pullups: 8, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 5, 5.
Press: 145 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5.
Dips: +60 x 8, 6, 7, BW x15.
Notes: In and out, easy peasy.
meant to pleasy 
Nice work. I am always scared of failing a sqaut! It must have been super loud dropping from that high up!
