Oh yeah Hog, the next two cycles I really hope the PRās comes raining, and who knows, might see some 1RMās at the end.
Thanks lava, and welcome to the log. Any advice, suggestion, cheer or trash talk is welcome.

The PR on squat Iām quite happy with that one, only a couple of kgās from a 1RM, with a much higher squat.

Thanks @Koestrizer and @littlelee Yeah I love to do PR sets again.
But those squats buried me, more than I thought they would.

@painter27 Thanks man.
Not always, often though and today they totally did.
@losthog Yeah and here is the official video
Not for me though. Volbeats song for the danish champion Mikkel Kessler.
@Frank_C Hoping that the high reps will slow down when the weights crawl up. But you never know.
@I_Luc Thanks man
Yeah Squat PRās on high reps are great, but it seems as if one can grind them out forever. One squat two deep breaths, brace, squat repeat. So Iām not sure if the Erm is valid as a gauge to the real 1RM.

It isnāt. A triple gives a good indication. A five a ballpark figure. Above that, pretty useless.

woke at 80,5 kg - 177,5 lbs
Yesterday 2600 calories, miscounted somewhere, so it was a little less than planned.
No wonder I felt hungry.
@MarkKO yes that was exactly what I thought. But itās fun to have something to try to beat

Another great point. Thatās what I love about the original 5/3/1 and dislike about 5s Pro and all the other stuff. The PR sets. You go in gunning to beat your last numbers with that weight. Great feeling.

Also a bit dreadful if youāre going into the 15ish rep range on squats or deads.

20 rep pause deads are murder
