That was my max lol. but im happy because 135x5 was my max ON cycle, so 135x4 isnt bad for being off for 6 weeks.

BTN Military is going great, I just did 205x5. 2 weeks ago when I did 185x5 it was hard as hell, so its gone up 20lbs and it was just as hard as 185. My clean form has gotten so much better, illl post a video on friday. 235x3. squats 360x3, deads 485x5

I got 300x5 squats Not atg though

Gladiator, this is just my opinion, I love your routine idea but I personally think there is no need to do the third day of squats on deadlift day, personally it never felt like it did much.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

Tblock ur right. I just felt like i should do something more than just deadlifts. Any ideas
