I took 3 months off due to mild shoulder pain/injury during that time I decided to lose some weight. I went from 270 to 235 so far. Lost a lot on my lifts but I'm not really worried about it cause I'm really glad to be losing the weight.
My question is before I took my break I was doing 5,3,1 which I like a lot and see a lot of progress while doing it. But right now I feel as though I could push my 1rm's a lot faster back to where they were if I just pushed myself every week with higher weight and lower reps. I mean if I stick to 5,3,1 right now my deadlift would only be at 405 by Christmas, and I know from when I used to body build I can get that number up pretty fast just by pushing myself every week.
So my thinking is go balls to walls until I platue out then start into 5,3,1
By the way I'm 27 been training 11 years (2 years powerlifting)
