Hey Tblock? what was your tested 5 rep max on deadlift at the start of this 5x5?

i never tested my 5 rm man, but I used to pull 405x5 and now I can maybe pull 415x1 so I played i safe and put in low maxes for everything, I out in 405x1 on deads giving me a 5rm of 360x5.
How's your lifting going btw?

You're not actually flushing lactic acid out of your muscles on the light squat day because there isn't any. The body isn't that slow. That said, it's probably a combination of it being "some" amount of load placed on you which is good for building up training tolerance and for perfecting your technique.

My lifting is going fine. I basically only concentrated on squats and deadlifts though. I didnt bench for more than a month so its probably even weaker than it used to be but i will test my maxes soon

I love db rows man they are awesome! The reason I only did 3 reps is because it was friday....on friday it calls for 3 reps then monday I will do 5.

Hey but guys I have a big problem the db's at my gym at school only go to 100 lbs....and right now I could easily rep those. However I'm building up because of 5x5 but pretty soon I'm going to need the 105's.....

Does anyone know of a way to attach other db's? I used to just do like 3x20 lol at my old gym but I'd prefer not to do that
