Nice MP/PP, you think you will be squatting 200 x 5 by the end of your next ass cycle ?

When i finished my last single factor journal, i squated 180 x 1, then a week or so later did 200 x 1. My 5rm after the end of that journal was 150 x 5, i think i squated 160 x 4 or 5 a week or so after but not 2 sure. I think i could get maybe 2 reps with 170 maybe 3 at most a this stage. I think you should be able to get at least 200 x 3 by the time your next cycle is up. But that's just my humble input, obviously you know more than me about how much you can lift.

Intensity - Week 4 Day 3
I didn't feel in the mood for front squats and GMs today but did fancy some dealifts. We'd been moving a goodly number of rubber mats this afternoon and they got me in the mood for some pulling.
The ten sets of doubles were done such that I started a fresh set every 20 seconds so the whole thing took just over 3 minutes. I was gasping by the end. The top single took three attempts. I went for some chalk for the third attempt and just gripped hard while I pulled. I'm sure I've lost some grip strength from neglecting my deadlifts.
An enjoyable little session.

Good times, good times. Next time, try those doubles w/ about 85% of your 1RM. And do one every 60 seconds. Supposed to be a great conditioner.

Intensity - Week 4 Day 4
I think this is the last workout of pushing squats in this fashion. I seem to have topped out and, while I feel reasonably fresh within myself, I'm feeling like I'm getting generally beat up and seem to be regressing. That day I did the triple at 170.5Kg, the triple at 160 felt strong and solid. Today's 165Kg single was a grind.
I decided to try a slightly different approach to getting to the higher weights by dropping to doubles and singles. The single at 165Kg felt heavy. I hit a sticking point and had to push hard to get through it. I reckoned I'd get the lift at 173 but I just couldn't get out of the hole again and had to dump it.
After that my arms were aching again along with too much else. I finished off with a couple of sets of 5 at 100 and 140Kg.
I'll take a session tomorrow and then I'm going to ease off a lot over next week and then start in on some volume work again the following week.

I have an ache in what I'm guessing is a tendon running along the underside of my foot, through the instep. I think it started to bother me at around the time I started dumping the bar. It's worst after I've been resting it such as after sleep or on getting up out of the comfy chair.
I think I'm ready for some rehab after all this restoration.

Intensity - Week 4 Day 5
Nothing, as ever, to report on rows. The top set was comfortably difficult but no ball-breaker.
I attacked the ramping on the press a little more aggressively than usual today. The 93Kg press is a PR. I thought I had a shot at taking it again but didn't get the leg drive and couldn't press it out. By the time I'd finished the sets at 85 my joints were hurting again. 93Kg x 1 PR
I was looking back through my squats from the last run of the 5x5 and I'm pretty much in the ballpark of where I was after finishing my cycle, definitely stronger in the squat than any time during the cycle. Accordingly, I reckon this program has been a complete success.
I grabbed a half-kilo PR which might be less than some expected but fulfills the thread title. I'm not displeased and I'm going to lick my wounds for a week.

I think it's been a successful 7 weeks, and an interesting one with the 20 reppers. You must have been gutted after the food poisoning took all the gains away from your cycle, but you're back and you've exceeded that point. Can you really lick the undersides of your feet?blut wump said:
