Raised this a little bit. It feels about right with being just as hard as the rest of the lifts. Still easy though.

Bicep pain still there. Lift felt the same as last time.

Deadlift
135 x 3x1
185 x 1

275 x 1
295 x 1
Was able to get much tighter this time. Very easy and more explosive than last time.

Comments: I think Monday the gym is closed so that forces me to take a day off which is fine. Chins hurt the biceps (obviously) so I'm going to do 1 rep at bodyweight without focus on speed next time. Also as a side note, I do deadlifts with a DOH grip. I need to remember to bring chalk on the PR day though..

Comments: Stressed out last night and only got 7 hours of sleep. Wasn't expecting a great day.
 
although your knowledge as far as working out is concnered is far superior to mine, i would like to chime in and say to always expect a great day when you go to the gym. If you're expecting a shitty day, then you'll have a shitty day regardless of what you do because you'll have an excuse to half-ass everything.

anyways, keep up the progress my man!

Easiest. A lot faster than before too.

Comments: Good day. Felt even tighter on everything especially deads. Noticed that I'm focusing more on keeping my ass and grip very tight as well as the rest of my body. Glute/hamstring connecting area was actually a little sore when waking up today!

Also, g/f noted that I'm looking leaner! Diet is basically eat when hungry, stop when satisfied. Lots of fruits, veggies, lean meats and whole milk.
 
haha yeah I'll never give it up. I wish I could find it locally though..

Comments: Came down with some sickness a couple days ago. Got 15 hours of sleep last night and woke up feeling pretty good today. So I decided to work out :) Everything felt just as hard as before. No tendon pain though.
 
can't wait to see you get into the bigger weights man. sorry if you arleady posted this, but what are your goals on this routine? Why only one rep as opposed to another rep range?
 
Yeah I can't either. This cold is killing me though! I hate setbacks and I've decided to take another couple of days off. I'm over most of it thankfully :) Once I'm feeling better I'll get back on track with this routine.

Goals: stronger and to up my 1RM.
1 rep: what better rep range to get there? haha. also I like only having to concentrate all of my energy on 1 rep. My form stays perfect and I can be as explosive as possible without worrying if I'm going to complete all the reps.
