Thanks a lot dude. For some reason, when I look at it on paper, 460x5 doesn't seem like it should be too difficult, but that's definitely not the case when it comes time to pulling it. I was able to...

Good to hear you are reminding yourself that accessory work is just that--accessory. I don't really care about the numbers on them, as my main focus is the same as yours--hitting all the reps on the...

Great job on getting that PR on squats man!

You like the ab wheel, eh? I never used this consistently, but am thinking of giving them another try.

That dude is simply strong as %^&*, regardless of any excuses.

Thanks for the support bro. Yeah, I have no real reason to switch just yet. Even when I do, I think I will borrow some of the principles of 531 and mix it with the westside template.

Well what do you know, I managed to squeak by another month without a single reset on any of the lifts. I thought it would happen a couple months ago, but it wasn't so. I was debating whether I would...

A deadlift PR-dannnng! Those are probably the most satisfying to achieve.

I do like 531 a lot, but I cannot say for sure if my true 1RM has increased during the 8...

Definitely! I'm usually anxious to deload.

You reset your numbers by two cycles. If you are drastically cutting carbs AND adding cardio, I probably would have scaled back to three or maybe even four cycles. However, it would also depend on...

Strong squats regardless of the missed 5th rep. To me, the "5's" often feel like the toughest sets.

What is your strategy for resetting? I'm curious because I know my first reset is closely...

So far you seem to be getting good results from training four days a week, so I probably wouldn't change that frequency. Some of the few reasons why I would cut down to three days a week of lifting...
