So tday I benched a lot, struggled (but didnt faill) an all 112.5x3, and did the fucking PR fatigued. I'm sure well rested I can add 2.5-5kg, but I won't derail my training to do that till I'm done with current cycle. Also cutting going great. 76,95kg today. 2 and a half weeks ago for my squat I weighted 78,5kg in the morning and 80,3 before the squat. | ||

Squat: 120kg x 5, 130kg x 3, 152.5kg x 1, 165kg x 1 and 175kg x 1 some shitty front squats Reverse band Squats, blue bands - about -100kg tension at the bottom. Weight on bar: 150kg x 3, 200kg x 3, 230kg x 2 and 250kg x 1. some pulldowns and a few pullups. band squats are a ton of fun. not sure if very useful though. very draining. | ||

 Have a question for TLHF, in particular those of you who put up big deadlift numbers (Sjarl, Gotunk, Blonde, looking at y'all;) when I am working at my limit, either 1RM or the last rep of a 5RM, my low back inevitably rounds a little bit. On one hand, if I'm able to maintain extension in my lumbar spine in this situation, I know for sure that I could have pulled more. On the other hand, I know that a flexed lumbar spine under load risks serious injury, even if this time I manage to finish the pull and not hurt myself. The most debilitating injury I've ever sustained happened on power cleans with a rounded lower back, so I'm pretty scared of repeating that mistake. So my question is: When I'm desperately trying to grind out the last rep, and I feel my lower back starting to give, how do I tell the difference between having the mental fortitude to just finish the pull no matter what and being reckless with the potential for injury? | ||

More important is keeping the upper back flat and not horribly rounded. I bet there was something other than only a rounded back that was wrong when you injured yourself while powercleaning. When I'm finishing a heavy grind there is only one thing running through my head "Keep fucking pulling" | ||

If you're that worried you should probably be wearing a belt which will keep you from doing anything too big. Like said it's okay if your upper back rounds a bit but overall shouldn't give way too much. I would consider this too much rounding (back was sore for like a week and half after no joint injury or anything though) + Show Spoiler + but this amount of rounding was fine: + Show Spoiler + | ||

Thats the type of lift you do just because you can. A lot of what guys do in the gym is posturing. Usually egos get more pumped than muscles lol. | ||

I was planning on deloading this week so I can focus on getting deeper and having good form so I thought why not try to put up a big number  I don't disagree with your assessment at all, what I know is that when that bar was moving down I got kinda worried lol. | ||

Just deloaded my squat and deadlift and was supposed to just do 96kg squat for 3x5 and 118 dl for 1x5. One hour prior to workout I was told that my dog has to be put down, so i felt pretty shit. Decided i would just lift more than ive tried. Squat: 96kg 3x5, 107x3, 116x2, 116x1, 118x1, 120x1 (first time squatting over 110kg) DL: 118x5, 120x5, 127x2, 129x1, 133x1, 139x1 then some assistance shit. had more energy in the tank on the deadlifts, but this day was supposed to be light anyway | ||
