bro nice work on getting past 300 for 5! So, I know 1 rm calcs aren't that accurate, but if I do one it says your max would be 353 That means 400 would be reachable pretty soon........
How close do you think you are to plateauing? It's weird because I have been pretty lucky recenlty and haven't hit a plateau in a long time, but when I did I tried this routine for a while, but I didn't even do the heavy deadlift sets, I only did the accesories and stiff leg deadlift. My deadlift went from 335-375, and i could have pulled a little more( This was right before I started the 5x5)
because the reps are getting harder each week, and its getting harder to keep good form. I know I loose my arch in my lower back but I dont think it rounds - yet...
lol just checked and jdid estimated his 1rm deadlift to be 320
Iv had crippling DOMS today - spinal erectors especially lower, calves, hams, abs, obliques, brachioradialis, traps, rear delts, and hip flexors are all sore as fuck! This always happens after a week off lol...
lol that was an estimated 1RM from wendler's calculations.. I've never benched 180 either. I am going to do 5/3/1 for a while, and maybe before prom i will spend a week testing my maxes which is in about 2ish months. Hopefully that day will come as a shock to EM when my deadlift and squat #s make his look like nothin, even with his 40 lbs on me
Still doesn't matter to me what EM is lifting in a sense that I am not going to compare myself to him. I hope he lifts more than I do, but at the same time I hope i lift more than he lifts. That makes no sense, but it basically means that i want both of our lifts to go up regardless of whoever is lifting more.
