Thanks, guys. I'll be fine. Just need to stay focused
Missed you too, dmax. I'll catch up on all the logs when I get the chance. Sure you're killing it as per usualGlad your back to say I missed you would be bit on the homo side but I missed u lol
Not even back a day lol and your picking his brainGlad your back.
Now how did you end up laying out the 5/3/1? Are you going to phase it into hyper/strength blocks?
For now, no. In the future, maybe. My layout is incredibly simple at the moment. Just trying to put in some quality work and get the momentum going again. Here it is.Glad your back.

Took me like 1.5 hours yesterday moving slowLooks like a nice blend, how long do you think each session with take?
Hopefully! I definitely feel reinvigorated, regardless.I bet it'll turn out the downtime actually improved your lifts.
That may be true, but I'd wager that nothing has ****ed you up as badly either.Nothing has improved my deadlift more then amrap deadlifts.
I have yet to get hurt pulling. Most of my injuries are from benching.That may be true, but I'd wager that nothing has ****ed you up as badly either.
I'd have to agree, but up to a point. For a solid year I PR'd almost weekly on DL AMRAPs. There comes a point that you hit a weight that you can't safely do a true AMRAP on a week to week basis.Nothing has improved my deadlift more then amrap deadlifts.
I don't think they don't build the deadlift, I just think there are better ways to do it.I'd have to agree, but up to a point. For a solid year I PR'd almost weekly on DL AMRAPs. There comes a point that you hit a weight that you can't safely do a true AMRAP on a week to week basis.
I'm not saying there arnt other ways to do it. Just to this point nothing has pushed my pull better. However I don't think anyone should be going rpe 10 on them. Maybe 9 at most.I don't think they don't build the deadlift, I just think there are better ways to do it.
Sure they work, but the risk is incredible.
While they aren't the bulk of my training or the main driver of my deadlift (I credit SSPT chart pulling or 5x3 at 75%), I do like deadlift rep outs. And you pointed out the key to rep outs in this post. My preferred RPE for big lower body lifts is 8-8.5, or just barely beating my old PR at that weight/rep countI'm not saying there arnt other ways to do it. Just to this point nothing has pushed my pull better. However I don't think anyone should be going rpe 10 on them. Maybe 9 at most.
However I will say this was in the context of low overall pulling volume so I could afford a higher rpe and push near failure and still recover and feel ready for the next session. This changes when we do more overall work. I think putting more volume in various phases of high quality and technical efficiency could certainly result in similar results and be safer.Id agree with that. Capping the rpe would be a great way to go about it. I always (well, 90-95% of the time) pushed mine to 9.5-10 and yahhhh thats the recipe for blowing a disc.
They can help, but they need to be used sparingly IMO.I mean it probably depends on the person and situation, but some DL AMRAPs really helped me over the past year.
Thanks, Sean. Maybe one day it'll pay off. Gotta long way to go! LolI always admire how you set your training up.
So much thisI always admire how you set your training up.
They're a nightmare. And thanks!Nice work dude. Happy I've been able to avoid hex plates for my lifting career, thus far at least lol.
