Hehe, its shivering in my garage right now. I’ve been mostly driving my bug warm diesel Chevy.
Jack hope all is well with you my friend. That is a ton of deadlifting in one session.
Dave, things are going great, just lots of work and haven’t had much time to catch my breath lately. Thanks for stopping in.
1’s day, bench, TM 250.
Bench: 45 x20, 135 x5, 165 x5, 185 x5, 215 x3, 240 x6, 165 x 10, 10, 10, 10, 10.

That’s a whole lot of front squats leading up to the heavier attempt, plus the squats beforehand. I bet you’d nail that 305 or more if you did the front squats first.

Dips: 20, 20, 15, 13, 13, 10, 10, 10 (101 total).
Notes: My shoulder felt tweeked going in and it doesn’t feel any better now. I worked through it but I hope I didn’t make it worse.
I’ve been crushed by work recently.

What do you think your max is on the dead right now? So am I correct in thinking you work up to a 95% 5 rep of your TM on each specified lift each lifting day? How do you determine you TM?

I am guessing I could pull around 465-85 ish right now.
TM gets set first cycle at approx. 85% actual max at the time. Then do top set at 85%, then 90%, then 95% of training max and hit as many reps as possible for one cycle on the top set. Once cycle is complete add 10 pounds to TM for deads and squats, 5 lbs. to TM for bench and press. Keep adding ten pounds a cycle till it gets too heavy to make the minimum number of reps (5 (85%), 3 (90%), or 1 (95%)), then reset training max.

Squats: 45 x10, 135 x5, 185 x5, 225 x5, 265 x5, 300 x10.

Notes: I felt good tonight, I hit every rep very deep.
5’s day, Press, TM 160.

Dips: +50 x5, 5, 5, 5, 5.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I will get back to more focused training starting Jan. 5. I am going to see how fat and soft I can get until then, with maybe a training session or three thrown in.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Jack. Here’s to Holiday feasting.
Thanks Dave! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
