Pretty well, I think I actually ended up being in your division. Got 405 on squat which was my opener, missed second two attempts. Felt I got robbed on second attempt of 425 but whatever. 3/3 on bench, 325. And 3/3 on deadlift got 530. Total 1260.

So I'm writing my own training protocol this time around, it should be interesting. The program will be set up with squat twice a week, bench twice a week, and DL once per week. Loads will progressively increase weak to weak either by % or volume. Also some work will be based on off of a % for a set number of reps and sets, some will be based on RPE.

I haven't done any high rep squatting in a long time so today was def. a challenge. I def went DERE on my 4th set. I started to get exhausted at the 6th rep but I talked myself into the last 4. Mind of matter!

[offroadatv200]

I HATE high rep squat... Or any form of legs. I don't know why but I always have to talk myself through it.

Because it's hard!

Just think, if it were easy it would be called your mom. BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

This is to take advantage of the excess calories you'll be eating? I know you've kept very lean, are you planning to push the food and weights now to new levels? Good luck

I'll def be increasing food gradually over the next 6 months or so and with that I should see an increase in strength naturally. The program is set up to hit major lifts multiple times per week because I believe frequency is key. Rep ranges, speed, volume, intensity will vary from work out to workout. Each workout will include one lift that is strictly and accessory for the major lift of that day. The rest of the day will focus on other things such as weak point, hypertrophy, etc.

Thank you
