Thanks Glad. I'll definitely be hitting 315x3 no matter how hard it felt today. I don't personally own a camera or video recorder, but I'll check around to borrow one. If I can, I'll record me hitting my goal weights.
awesome man!! Make sure that you keep good form bro. 15 pounds is a heavy ass jump especially after hitting 300 for 3 reps.. It's not worth a possible injury to hit 315 next workout, but it is great to go in with that mentality. Just be smart and kill taht shit

Yeah it was my first time haha. I was there about 4 hours, my grip is still fucked and today is the second day from it lol. They had rope surfing/balancing which I want to get better at...and they had a thick bar climbing ladder that you could only use your hands to pull up with. I got to the top of that
That rock climbing sounds sick! Did u go with friends or are u doing like a rock climbing course or something?
I have a couple of Questions for you...
-I see you don't really do any assistance exercises other than chins and arm exercises, you don't even do dips. Is there a reason for this or do u just always train line that? I am obsessed with assistance stuff and probably over do it sometimes...
-how are your size gains training like this? 5x1 will be extreme low volume but even beforethatyouhavnthad much volume or exercises in the popular 8-15 rep range. Have u still been gaining size?

Yeah I went to a recreational rock climbing place with a bunch of friends. I was surprised to see a lot of chicks there and most were actually hott.

Actually my chin strength is a lot stronger than my dipping strength right now. I don't do them because they are a bitch to do after benching or pressing. As for any other fluffy stuff, I believe that the basic movements are really all that are needed for size and strength, just change the volume accordingly. I'm not gonna lie, I love doing the extra fluffy shit and miss it sometimes lol. If I do them PLUS the workouts I do now though, I would probably dip into overtraining a lot quicker even though my workouts literally only take 30mins (I timed it yesterday actually haha).

Size gains aren't as bad as I thought they would be. They are nothing compared to doing something like sets of 8-12 lol, but they aren't nonexistent. When I'm done with the 5x3 I'll post pics for you to judge. I think they are definitely decent gains. 5x1 is going to be shit volume lol, I'm expecting 0 muscle gains on that. After the 5x1 though I'll be doing 5x10 for size and I'm really anxious to know how fast I'll pack on muscle
Awesome idea bro. I think alternating between strength and size programs is the best way to go. I did a 5x5 after my first cycle and ended up with more strength than what I had on cycle.
