end of june, i wanted to hit a 363x3 deadlift by then but after this injury i doubt it will happen

you can probably hit that dude.. if the 275 wasn't that hard your last workout i bet you can get 363 by June.

if I could progress at 5lbs a week until my bday then yeah, I would be able to but it doesnt work like that, I guess its because of the way I workout but am pretty prone to injuries. Ill have to see what happens...

Maybe it's because you're lifting so intensely at such a young age?

yeah maybe and lots of things I do are kind of injury prone like deep dips with extra weight is hard on the shoulders, behind the neck presses, full squats, very heavy deadlifts etc. I think age probably does come into it and it worries me somtimes...

the worst ones I do are deep dips, full squats and the explosive one arms rows. Iv already been injured from the dips and rows before and well I know people say there is no way deep squats can be bad for you but the rumour or idea had to start somewere so I cant be sure.

guys Im thinking of doin the 5/3/1, Iv got the ebook and it looks fun, the thing that annoys me are this:

-quite slow progression on my actual weights, yes I will be hitting rep PR's every 9 days on each lift but I will only progress at 5lbs a month for presses and 5-10lbs a month on my squats and deads

-have to start from a deload, damnit Iv just got back to heavy squatting after my injury and getting heavier with my deads I would be pissed if I had to deload AGAIN

should I just quit bitchin and get on with it lol

Maybe it's because you're lifting so intensely at such a young age?

or because you used to (idk if you still do) compromise your form to lift heavy weights... or maybe a mixture?

Dude 363x3 shouldn't be hard at all barring any injuries, I went from like 335x1 or like 305x5 to360x5 in a matter of weeks lol.

guys my competition has been moved, there has been some real bad weather and me and 4 or 5 other guys havnt been able to make it, so the PLer who I met with and one of the organisers have got together and they are going to hold a private qualifier for me and the 4 other guys so we can all qualify, its gonna be in the same guys gym who I met with. Not sure on the day yet but it does mean Ill be able to meet some new people and you never no what maybe there will be someone there who lives nearer to me who I can train with a couple of times a year

don't wanna jynx anything, but qualifying should be pretty easy for you bro
