what made you change to the high rep scheme? Injury?

You mean on deadlifts? The injury, but also the fact that I didnt gain much upper body size at all in the last year or two. Even though my strength increased majorly in the one rep max, for deadlifts. So Im adding some reps in now. Seeing if maybe itll stimulate some growth.

ThanX brother!! I appreciate the encouragement!! I still cant wait to get back to, and exceed this:

Flat Bench
135x20 (warm-up)
225x10 (warm-up)
275x15 (extended warm-up haha, took away from my other sets, no doubt)
315x6
325x3
300x7
315x3 (no spotter present)
365 (failed)
365 (failed,weak attempts)
335x2
275x7 (plus 2 forced reps, often I dont list forced reps, only what I can get on my own.)

That was right around the time I hurt myself. Im going to stick with the 5x5 for a while, I think, Until it fails. Then maybe Ill try repping out to failure again and see where Im at. ThanX again brother!!

600x20
800x30
