Nice work lately B, I discovered a new group {metal} you might like too.. "Powershifter" - great training music on most of their tracks, but that's just my opinion. Check 'em out if you'd like.

I'll check em out on youtube
Thanks bro. I need some new tunes

yw, also system of a down has a great sound, the browning, icepick, suffokate, static-x.

'suffokate' - "always hopeless" is a bangin angry, dog growl type of track

If it felt so light, why didn't you do more than 5 reps?

I have an uncanny ability to store useless knowledge. I can never remember where I put anything though.

Me too....yet I have to call Lowe's customer support when it's time to change the light bulbs in my house

[bmontgomery87]

Another good workout. Had to grind out my last working set a bit.


Warmup
Dragging sled for 2-3 minutes
Band Stomps

Squats
Off a box well below parallel
barx5
95x5
135x5
185x5
215x5
260x3
275x3
290x3

Deads
5 sets of 185x10 (conventional)

Assistance/Conditioning

^^2 cycles of that. We'd superset all three and switch whenever the person finished the sled drags.

Didn't get much stretching in yesterday. Planning on doing some rolling, drags, and stretching tonight.

[NC_Tarheel]

Looks like you've jumped back into 5/3/1 with no problem at all. GJDM

Not too much trouble. I may or may not have used ammonia on my last set.
The last rep of the 290 set was pretty slow, and I was told I turned stop sign red.

That's perfectly fine. When I deadlift heavy, I look like Arnold in the last scene of Total Recall when he's struggling to get air on Mars

[FrmrHoss]

290 for 3 on below parallel box is sollllliddddd.
