What’s your best zercher? Maybe lowering the weight and upping the volume a little may be a good change of pace. Either way 300x3 is pretty kick ass, seeing as you DL the weight up first.

PR is 315x4. And yeah dude, I’ll probably lay off for a bit because I’m focusing on deadlifting. Today was a weaker day. Meh, go figure.

Nothing wrong with focusing on your DL. Er actually there is, I still need to catch up to you lol. So maybe you should consider a specialization program for tricep kickbacks.

Only if you do one for curls so I can catch up w/ your bench.
Speaking of specialization, I plan on running C/P in the near future.

June 2, 2011
Warmup
Shoulder Dislocations - 2x12
Close Grip Bench Press
(45 x some)x3
(135x3)x3
155x3
175x1
195x1
220x1
240x1 (PR, stupid easy)
240 didn’t even fight me. Hardly felt like ME work. All work-sets felt great and really fast. Could’ve hit 255 today at least, but I didn’t really want to rush things, so I called it quits here; the goal was to do 240 and just 240.
Was getting kinda late, so I decided to wing it and superset accessory shit…
Neutral-Grip Dumbbell Press —SS—> Machine Row
65’s x 12 ------> 185x12
75’s x 8 ------> 205x8
85’s x 5 ------> 225x5
That’s all for today. Benching helped soreness in adductors by stretching them out and stuff. Great day. Feeling fresh for ME deadlifting.
240 stupid easy? Says the guy who thinks his pressing sucks. I take it you’re not really doing 5/3/1 anymore.

Well considering it’s a 10 lb PR in about seven months, I’d guess that it had better be easy, lol.
Yeah, I stopped 5/3/1 a while ago. I’m basically making this up as I go along…ha, ha…
The title of this log is pretty misleading TBH. 
June 4, 2011
Warmup
Reverse Hyper - (BW x plenty)x2
Deadlift
135x5
225x5
275x3
315x3
350x1
385x1
415x1 (PR)
435 x miss
Didn’t even budge the 435. Stuff felt harder than I anticipated. One thing’s for sure: no more touch and go deadlifting; it totally deluded me into thinking that I could pull more than I actually could; I wanted 455 today. At least I’m getting four plates in my hands on a regular basis now. Going to work in deficit pulling and see if it helps. Gotta get that 500 by year’s end.
Afterwards I did a few SLDL’s w/ 225 (tried a sumo stance), some upper back and bicep work, and more BW reverse hypers.
Nice pulling man! I’m sure in a month or so you can hit 435, now that you know you can pull 415. Btw i’m jelly of your pullin’

thanks dude. It’s a little disappointing since I expected to be able to pull 455 for some reason, but I got too greedy. Short term goal is pulling 465 by September.
And I am not jelly of my pullin’. Wait lolwut? That doesn’t make sense.
Nice pull man! Don’t worry, the DL will get up there. These are conv DL?

Appreciate it. No, I went sumo. I just don’t bother calling it that; I just call it deadlifting. Think about it, when you squat, you don’t specifically say that it’s a low-bar squat, do you?
