^^^^This workout is great. I love the simplicity, but the contrasting super set makes it fun. With enough sets to get the pump flowing.

It works well for me, rather than trying to rush through 5-6 exercises I can just take a couple and really push them, I think its a much more efficient way to spend my 30-45 minutes

With so little time it really is the best thing for strength/size. Gotta be efficient and you need big compounds for that.

Deadlifts are still continuing to feel better every week, I feel like im getting close to where I was strength wise before I hurt my back im still going to stick to the plan and not push too hard but I think an easy 400+ lb deadlift is right around the corner

Great day considering I only had 2-3 hours of sleep, woke up at 130 and could not fall back to sleep, but I still felt really strong during this session, next week ill start adding weight on dips, finally figured out my form on those for it to not cause any shoulder pain. Deadlifts tomorrow
 
Great work in here this last week. Let's see those deads!

Good day of deadlifts, this is a PR since my injury, and might be an all time PR for conventional deads, since pre injury I lifted sumo, im finally starting to focus on building my lifts vs. Testing them every single ones week, ill probably find a true 1rm near the beginning of the year
Bench tomorrow
 
A great day for PRing! Nice work man!

Benching sucked, felt weak, form never really felt right and had a slight pain in my right bicep when I got to 205 and up, squats tomorrow
 
Ah, the bicep monster... Let me know if it doesn't get better and I'll share the nonsense I have to do to keep it away.

Will do, my left arm im unsure if its my bicep or part of my forearm, on the top right where the bicep and forearm meet has been bothering me on all pulling movements for around a month now

Ohp is feeling much stronger lately I think I might contribute that to more ohp volume, ive added 3 working sets after my top set for the last month or so hopefully I can put 205 overhead soon, then ill be looking for 225
 
I need to follow your lead on OHP...

No hypers on the last set, someone took over that equipment, all sets moved fast today I think I could have pulled 320 for several more reps but my back just wasn't feeling it, bench tomorrow
 
I hate when I mis-load. Did that today on squats and felt like I wanted to topple over.
 
It sucked this morning, it was supposed to be 285 and it felt like it was flying off the floor... Then I started to strip the weights for my next set and realized what happened... On my 320 set I forgot to put a 35 on one side....

Think it might have been a PR bench, I was dead by the time I squatted but it was a solid day
 
I'd take that bench.
 
Only got 4 on 255 a couple days ago. Maybe soon.
 
The way you PR it'll be very soon

Was waiting for ever to get in a rack I was tight and a little fatigued once I got in the rack but still got a good lift in, deadlift tomorrow
 
I can't stand it when all the racks are taken. Usually there's like one squatter and a guy doing shrugs and another guy doing arms.
 
Atleast he was doing deadlifts, but I didn't think an hour of deadlifts was needed
