Smash Fuarking Weight

[RipCJ]

Damn, sucks you had to quit early.

When did you switch to triples on ID? Did you fail and repeat at all?

Switched to triples at the end of August. Wanted to keep increasing the weight and couldn't seem to get five reps with the weights I was working with at the time.

[PeterGibbons316]

Just went back through your log and right now I'm just about where you were when you switched. Nice to know there is still a lot of progress to be had even after you hit a wall on 5 rep intensity sets.

Do you like a heavy triple better? It gets you working with heavier weights and there's more of a difference between your volume and intensity day that way.

Would you switch back at some point?

I think switching to something like triples or doubles is a smart choice after stalling with sets of five.

I like triples a lot. Especially since I have been making great gains with them. Sets of five are alright, but I have been doing them for as long as I have trained, and I get enough of them with the volume workouts.

Last intensity workout was on 11/11. For some reason I am really pumped to have one tomorrow night. Looking to hit triples with 465, 272.5 and 500.

Must have been feeling good if you bumped up your bench to 275. Very nice on all 3.

[PeterGibbons316]

Triple PR day? Incredible!

[xRequiem]

Haven't seem this in a while, got all 3!

Maybe you could do speed pulls one week and triple pr next?

edit: you must be tired, you put volume as the title haha

[GinjaNinja85]

Absolutely smashed it this week, good job!

Thanks to all of you. Didn't feel like working with 272.5 when I could just load 25s on the bar.

Wow, I think your 252.5x5x5 is more impressive than the 275x3!

Won't be impressed until I hit 300!

[supmannn]

A 300 bench for 5 sets of 5 would be alright I guess.

I meant 300 for a single. Going to take a very, very long time to reach 5x5x300.

I agree.

[jshaw5]

You probably have 300 for a single right now if you tried it.

OK dude, the only way I got through my squat tonight was the drive to not fall behind. So let's see it...417.5...

Also, you're probably there on bench or super close. I got 295 once and I don't think I even managed 270x3 at the time.

Dude do you have a beard now?

[GinjaNinja85]

Brilliant squatting, so much control!

[jshaw5]

Awesome squatting man. I love seeing the plates bounce at the top, you know it's heavy when it's doing that.

I love doing it, sometimes don't like feeling it. Explode up, shake the weights: Weights slam back down on you! One time I wasn't expecting it and the added strain felt pretty crappy on my lower back, probably shouldn't have done it with my 5RM.

Great work RipCJ. I'll be there... 1 day.

[AntNazgul]

lol those looked and sounded so easy for you man, great squating

Yes I do, no shave November.

Thanks a lot. I like when the plates are bouncing around as well.
