Good job kaluro. .. :D She was very sceptical and reluctant at first but after a while she joined the workouts a few times ( I have a homegym).. Then after a month or so, she started joining me during all work outs (3 times a week). Right now she's even on a nutrition plan and uses multivit/omega 3/whey/casein and Protein Pancakes as supplementation. Not to mention how she loves looking in the mirror at her pump now haha, now that's a real strength trainee! | ||

OHP: 45x10, 95x5, 135x5x3, 155x3x2 Squats: 45x10, 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 260x5, 260x3, 225x5, 225x5 RDLs: 138x8x2, 155x4x2 Felt a little beat up today, lots of little aches and pains. Lost steam near the end and had to take it easy on squats. Gonna dial it back for the rest of the week and if I feel the same on Wednesday and Friday I'll probably just take the next week off. Planning on doing another PL meet November 9th. My goal is to total over 1000lbs @ 165 this time. RIght now I'm probably good for around ~950 on a good day, so I've gotta find 50lbs or so on the big 3 somewhere in the next 16 weeks. | ||

Back squat: 3 sets 5 reps @ 350 Bench press: 3 sets 5 reps @ 235 Deadlift: 2 sets 5 reps @ 420 Power jerk: sets of 3 @ 135 / 155 / 175 / 185 / 205 / 205 Moral dilemma: A guy and his girlfriend are deadlifting nearby. The guy has literally the worst deadlift form I have ever seen in my life, and is teaching his girlfriend identically. Do I say something or just go about my business? My low back was twitching a bit just watching them. | ||

I mean whats the difference between decapitating yourself after your 2nd rep or after your 12th rep? I was thinking one style of lifting might carry more risk than the other. For example, trying to do 1 rep at maximum weight is probably much more dangerous than trying to do 100 reps at one quarter of maximum weight. I guess I'm wondering where the ideal ratio is (if there is one). | ||

Since you should probably working in the ~5 rep range for strength, after the first couple reps you should be able to tell if you're going to fail on the next rep or not. If you feel like it then just rack it. | ||

Video is worth a bazillion words: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qohvvfv0OwA But yeah, you probably have nothing to worry about at this point Stick in that 5 rep range for strength and keep the linear progress going! | ||
