true... I suppose I was very short sighted tonight lol... i need to be grateful for numbers improving again on my bench especially... cuz that needs to go up big time... squat and row are doin' GRAND you're right

Ok... no dead lifting for a couple weeks, lol.... Cleans better not phunk with my wrist again...cuz that sucked too...but using chalk should help monumentally though I'm hoping next week!

Thanks Coach T and CS again... you guys kick ass!

This is some good advice.

A disproportionately high deadlift really can wreak havoc on your body during a training cycle, I am the exact same way.....I don't think doing them every other week hurt you, if you did them weekly, I would bet money you'd be stalled by week 3 with your numbers.

Your push press, bench, and squat are going up....really, what's not to like about that?? I would keep going with them until they stall out.....if you want to continue the DL, I'd keep it every other week, maybe with a rep scheme like CS listed above...I'd suggest not deadlifting for 2 weeks and stopping the GMs and doing a mini deload like that, if you're like me, which I suspect you are, you'll pull a PR in 2 weeks........OR, you can bag it all together, and so long as you clean, olympic squat, and row, your DL shouldn't plummet, then train it in a 3 week intensity block.

Might also consider doing rack pulls every other week. Much easier on the lower back.

That's not an option in my gym... no adjustable safties around... ect... i could try to balance it on a "box" (aka aeorbic steps, lol) but that could prove to be dangerous

Eh, my back is fine usually... I blame the 3 shitty nights of sleep on a crappy hotel bed for the recent lower back issues righ tnow... it should be fine in a few days... Sometimes my back is bulletproof...but when my spine is out of align...,it must pull on the muscles differently to make it such a pain in the ass again.

yes hotel beds suck ass.....did that last night.....had to workout in the hotel gym, which involved quite a bit improvisation (like doing power cleans with the bench bar LOL)

still you aren't letting anything bring you down!! great work.....i think i need to work harder!

btw, did you ever get those straps in?

Thanks man! lol... try some 5x5 training then adapt it as you figure it out along the way that's what I've done with the help of BiggT, CS, and some other great bros here... I didn't truely understand the principals behind it until I tried it.

Straps are about 5 or so weeks out They've been ordered... can't wait to get them... i've realized how "springy" (crappy) mine are.. they don't hold enough weight for my lack of grip strenght, lol.
