Anyone got an idea on how I can deadlift in a program without murdering myself again, or have a good reason why I shouldn’t?

I miss them dearly.

Deadlifting regularly is fine, as long as you aren’t pulling at a high intensity all of the time.

Lots of ways to do it.

6X3s with consistent rest periods. Deload when progress stalls for 2 weeks.

Swap up the volume/intensity in a 4-6 week cycle.

Use Prilepin’s chart as a guideline for how many total reps/sets at a given intensity would be appropriate. Just a guideline, btw.

Any particular way you would lay that out? Or would it just be easier to be 5/3/1?

Kroc, what’s your weekly training split typically look like (when you’re not injured)?

Sunday-bench and assistance work
Tuesday-deads and assistance work
Wednesday-upper body assistance work
Friday-squats and assistnace work

Believe it or not my training template is based on Westside but it has evolved so much over the last ten years that it is difficult to tell that my program started there.

Since I lift mttf I’ll do

Monday:
Bench (or 1 board?) 5-3-1
close grip incline +chains 3x8
machine fly 3x20
curls 3x12

Tuesday:
Deads 5-3-1
suitcase deads 3x15
glute hams 3x8
45’ back extention 3x8

Thursday:
DB overhead press 3x12
lat pulldowns 4x12
rows 4x15 or max reps
DB power cleans 4x15

Friday:
squat 5-3-1
power squat 2x20
leg extention 3x max reps
standing cable abs 4x15

I’m mostly confused on what to do on the bench and squat days, what I should do for assistance work is bugging me.

Look decent?

this is my ME bench day:
work up 1-3RM on banded pin presses
some type of close grip variation, usually flat, board or decline do 5x4-8 usually work up a max set of 6 reps, then do a few higher % sets after
then beutral grip db inclines
4x8-15
some type of shoulder work for 3 sets

DE day:
6x2 bench
flat neutral dumbells 5x10-12
incline 5x10
then shoulder again

i always try to finish with rotator and rear delt work

i have a seperate back day, so idk if this will work for you but the volume has been helping me alot, im very tolerant to high volume but idk about you, all i know is my bench is finally apporaching 3 plates

I’ll be testing my max squat, bench, and deadlift this week. I get my oly shoes next week monday.

Today.

squat:
135x3
185x3
belt
225x3
wraps
275x3
315x2 missed third
315x2

I haven’t back squatted regularilly in a while, so I’m sure this will shoot up fast I’ll use 335 for my squat max in my first 5/3/1 cycle.

bench tomorrow

deads thursday.

Today:
Bench press:
135x3
185x3
205x3
215x1
225x1
185x8
185x5

I can probably hit a bit higher then 225 if I was fresh, and after getting back into benching heavy. But since you’re supposed to use a conservative max for your first 5/3/1 cycle, I’ll use it.

CG incline
95x12
115 2x8

These were much harder then I expected.
