Deadlifting my way to Happiness - Al420's log

She's cheating on you, too. With FFQuads.

So, uh, your pre-cycle 5RM on squats was 335, and now you're doing one rep with that weight. Do something different with squats now rather than waiting and "regaining focus", whatever that means.

My wife is 5'9" - FFQuads is 5"2" - it just wouldn't work out...lol

What should I do instead CS?

Your 5s are pretty clearly not going anywhere, so you could try working up to a single, double or triple on your max day (single one week, double the next, etc.). I think T suggested something like this a while back in this journal or sarge's. The main thing, as that epic Pendlay post that's in the sticky or on madcow's site puts it, is to change something when you get stuck, and do it systematically rather than pounding away at a wall and maybe even regressing as a result.

Another thing: I haven't seen any high-volume squat workouts (e.g. 5x5) around here in a while. You almost certainly need more volume than the one heavy set you've been doing to drive progress. So one of your squat days would be 5x5 while the other could be the 1/2/3RM that I mentioned above.

Also, if you don't have Practical Programming, buy it now.
