1RM to 5RM asap?

[Dawson54321]

Not too concerned with any other lifts than Squat and Deadlift right now. So what is the fastest way to turn my one rep max into a 5 rep max in those lifts? They are both really limiting me currently and I need the 5RM to be my 1RM. Thanks.

add or remove other stages depending on your rate of progress

I am assuming every line is seperate workout session? Should I do a session every 3 or 4 days or so?
And thanks brah

**FYI I'm doing Madcow right now but only really care about squat and deadlift and wanna get my maxes (315 and 405) for 5 before moving on to a different program. So since my bench and other lifts are doing fine, I figured there would be a faster way to do it.

Yes, one line per wokrout session. Since the volume is so low (esp. at the beginning of the sequence), you should add other lower weight, higher rep sets afterwards for volume - e.g. 3x5 for squat or 2x5 for deadlift

You can squat heavy twice a week but I would only deadlift heavy once... you can adjust the progression so it doesn't take twice as long. You can do another day a week doing deadlifting accessory exercises such as stiff leg deadlifts, snatch grip deadlifts, rack pulls, power cleans, weighted hypers, cable pullthroughs etc. Keep these in the 5-12 rep range

You should still be trying on your other lifts just don't hit failure and it won't impact squat/dead

Great advice.

Edit: Suffolk Punch, I bought that SLL book after reading all the LRB stuff in your journal. Brilliant book and I love the training philosophy. Your advice above really reminded me of some things in there.
