531 Program

Squat day
3X5 last set at 405 did 8 reps. I felt like I had two more but my form was starting to go. This is the first time since October I was pain free. It looks like the mobility work is paying off.

Aux work
Leg press (I know I said I was doing boring but big, but I got lazy)
Ham work
Hip work
Calf work.

Almost just wrote an asshole post. Am resisting…

Nice work man. Almost decided to rep out with 405 tonight and see how I fared, but stuck with low reps for that. Am now motivated to do otherwise haha.

back day
conventional DL (haven’t done these in about 6 weeks) previous max was 385

lol, Thanks man.

It isn’t so much the number as the fact mine haven’t moved in forever. I mean I know that it is a combination of moving into intermediate levels (as in I need to get a plan rather than just winging that shit), and diet and rest issues, but the lift is in my head. I get worried about form and shit…

I just have to stop being a little bitch I guess[/quote]

I know what you mean, my bench hasn’t budged in like 4 months, in fact I think it got weaker because my “plan” was retarded and I rode myself into the ground before holidays thinking I’d eat+rest up and just bounce back come the new year, didn’t quite work out that way =x. There’s some mental shit going on there too because some of my numbers are skyrocketing right now, gotta just keep at it and stay focused, a little down time just means you’ll feel better when that rebound finally hits =]

Krocs from yesterday:

ME Squat/Deadlift

  1. SSB(100lb Bar) Squat, Below Parallel Box, Medium Stance - worked up to 455lbs (510lbs)

  2. Belt Squat - 4plates x8, 5 1/2 platesx8,10

  3. GHR 3x8 Green Band

  4. Pulldown Abs - 3 sets

Did I write something that warranted an asshole response?
