Idd, most of us could probably manage 1RM 100kg already if we weren't afraid to shit our pants.

Hey Guys
Posted back in 2011, I started the Strong lifts 5x5 program. I am still 6’0 250lbs, though it’s a ton more muscle. I am starting get bored / burnt out and need a change or just some encouragement to keep going. I would love to drop 15lbs, but the scale doesn’t bother me when I see the muscle. As of now here is what I am doing weight wise in the Strong lift program;

Squat is @ 295 3x10 *note only have 295lbs to lift in my friend’s basement
Dead is @ 295 1x5
Bench is @ 265 5x5
Overhead press is @ 135 5x5
Barbell Row is @ 185 5x5

Would love to gain more endurance, when I switched the squats from 5x5 to 3x10 it about killed me for a while. Any help and direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

Wow, weirdest session ever today. I wanted to squat low-bar, because powerlifting is alive in the Netherlands but Oly lifting is pretty fucking dead. Anyhow. I can't possibly seem to get a position doesn't doesn't feel either painful or like it's gonna slip off.
So much for me adding a plate for free. Got so pissed I squatted 103kg high-bar ATG, even though it was a rest day:S

Deadlift PR: 137kg 1x5

Is it a problem with shoulder mobility that is affecting grip?

This episode is one of many that have become my bible when it comes to preparing my shoulders for low bar squat rack.

Aside with getting your shoulder flexibilty up (do shoulder dislocations), sometimes you just need to get used to having a condo on your back. Try adding 20kgs to your workout weight and do some 10sec static holds 2-3 times; focus on staying tight. It will make your normal weight feel a lot lighter.

Broz actually recommends taking 20-30kg more than 1RM, walking out and holding it for 20 sec. After every squat workout.

Saved that to my squat notes some time ago.

Hmm, I'll prolly try this. My biggest problem in the squat is my thoracic spine getting lose and the hips driving up too fast, prolly because my core is weak.

I have been stalling on my deadlifts for a while now, only at 5 reps at 112kg (74kg BW), I only do them once a week and have been having a really hard time adding weight to them Squat still rises pretty well.
