Nice work, ruglayer. Is that a PR? Or was it just to see what you could push?
I end up maxing once per cycle (usually week 3). I just can’t help myself!

If I have half a brain, and usually I don’t, I will take the full 7 days…sometimes I tend to cut it short.

Actually, now that you mention it, it is a PR…Damn. I’m gonna start back to flat after 1 or 2 more cycles.

Seated Military

Continued deload. Felt like I accomplished shit…but common sense overruled my urge to max. On a side note…took my youngest to see A Christmas Carol in IMAX 3D. Friggin amazing. And the best part, Disney didn’t change the story at all.

Rug-be careful there are numerous deload police lurking on this site. best do it right or suffer the scorn!! Just kidding man, Good luck.

Trap Bar Deads…deload?

Well, I tried…my idea of a deload today was warm up, drop all accessory work and rep work and take a max single…so

2x5@145
1x5@195
235x1
285x1
325x1
365x1 Felt strong so…
385x1 Slow but solid

Only 20# off my alltime pr and that was done like, ohhhh, 2 yrs ago. So, progress being made. In case the deload cops are around, I’ll be hiding in the bushes :wink:

Don’t feel bad. The Deload police knocked down my door a few times as well.

Bad boys, bad boys - whatcha gonna do when they come for you, bad boys?

Rug- change the name of your log quick before they git ya! Nice work by the way…by now Strick has some get out of deload jail free cards…

Bench Deload

Went according to plan today. No surprises. New cycle starts Saturday. I’m thinking of going to a 8 week cycle something along these lines…

Wk1 5’s
wk2 3’s
wk3 5/3/1

4,5,6 the same way, week 7 max, week 8 deload. IF everything seems to be going well at that time, I’ll continue. You know what they say…‘Take suggestions from everyone, then figure out what works for you and do it’. Or, as Dan John likes to say…‘Everything works…for a while’. Peace

It’s tough posting during deload weeks, isn’t it. Doesn’t feel like you’re doing anything, while your working out. It doesn’t feel like you did anything, when you’re done. And it doesn’t fee like there is anything worth posting, when you sit down at the computer.

Looks like a plan. I be interested to see your take on it.

Idle chatter, Idle chatter, click click click, blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah. Sorry, couldn’t resist :slight_smile:

lol
