  My deload week was a no-lifting week during the sinus infection, and my strength and stamina took a hit. Cleaning the bar even once each set also makes these more tiring, so I missed a rep. No biggie, I’m looking forward to next week’s session.

Solids deadlifting mate. How’s as body holding up.’

[TriednTrue]

Thanks, Simo. I’ve kind of crapped out with the Simple Deadlift Plan. Work stress plus a nearly month-long sinus infection derailed me, so that session was a deadlifting warm-up. When reading you log, I briefly toyed with the thought of twice-weekly Super Squats, but my hips would hate everything about it. Your progress is impressive, and I take a number of training cues from your log.

  Planned to do split squats on a Smith, but the machines were taken, and I didn’t feel like waiting. Halfway through the sets, I decided to take a page from @wiseman83 and gradually test my strength. They felt good; if that holds true the rest of the week, I’ll do fewer reps and go a bit heavier next time.

@QuadQueen, you have an intriguing screen name - have you ever considered starting a log?

[QuadQueen]

I have… But haven’t done it yet for a couple reasons, the first being time and the second - I’m a classic overtraining, volume whore. When I start tracking things I start getting more obsessive about it and it can take me to some borderline unhealthy mental and physical places. I may give it a shot in here, but I would need a lot of support to keep me reigned in… It’s a problem… Know thyself, right?

And the screen name - well, let’s just say that Leg Day is a National holiday around here…

[TriednTrue]

I can relate, in that I’d always kept a paper log and forewent logging here for a couple years after I returned to regularly visiting. Since you know your proclivity for excessive analysis, you’re definitely better off maintaining mentally and emotionally healthy practices. We’ll just have to wonder what goes into QuadQueen’s national-holiday leg days and speculate about the effects thereof

[QuadQueen]

Well, I guess I can give you a taste of the obsessiveness… but just a taste.

My leg workout yesterday started with a 10 min EMOM of 7 front squats/min at 95 lbs. (I’m a little girl - like about 102 lbs). I followed that up with 5 sets BSS (45 lb BB) and then moved on to RDL’s and some other accessory nonsense. Like I said - VOLUME WHORE. (and now you know why we’re not publishing this crazy in a formal log…) lol
