I concur

[Anthony21]

What's up guys. Yesterday was my gym day and I set two PRs and reached 2 short term goals I had set for myself. Those goals reached were a 350lb deadlift, and a 135lb OHP. both were accomplished. I had video of my deadlift but when I went to edit it on my phone it wasn't on there. I'm pissed but can't do anything about it now lol.

Let's get to my workout.

11/28/12

Squat 4x5
130x5
160x5
195x5
195x5

OHP 4x5
80x5
100x5
115x5
135x5PR

Dead lift 4x5
220x5
260x5
305x5
350x5PR

Kroc rows
50x12
60x12
70x18

Back extension body weight
15

25lbsx10 *behind head
25lbsx10 * behind head


The last reps on my OHP and Deadlift were the real grinders but I was determined to get 5 reps no matter what. It felt good leaving the gym knowing I reached some of my goals. It's nothing but up from here.

I worked on my squatting and speeding up my descent per your guy's recommendation. I have to say this definitely helps out, especially the rebound out the hole. I wanted to film this but there was to many people going back and forth in that are. I definitely will continue to work on this.

You guys have a good Thursday and of course, state Strong(er).

Nice work on the PRs.

[Celtic8Laoch]

Nice going ant well done on your PR's. Glad to hear the squat speed is feeling good and you didnt have any problems with it. Stay strong(er).

[MKW]

Incredible progress. I'm not surprised by the deads given your videos, but the military press is absolutely shooting up!

[Anthony21]

Nice work on the PRs.

Welcome back & thanks

Thanks Celtic.

I'm really happy about that for sure. The 135lbs felt easy on the first 4 reps, the last one was just a bit tougher. I'm definitely happy how my OHP has progressed.

I can't think on how my deadlift video was deleted though. Only thing I can think of is A) I accidently deleted it or B) my daughter got a hold og my phone and deleted it.

Eff yea man! Love the DL PR. You're going to blow by me soon lol

What's your 5rm for your pull?

[moshvr]

What's your 5rm for your pull?

I'm not sure to be honest. I'll try next week and let you know

Whatever it is i'll set my goal to pass it, unless I already have LOL

No seriously though man you're 385 pull was nice. Good work.

Haha f*cker. I kind of have a feeling your 5RM is higher, and is your 5RM is better I'm going to assume that your 1RM is better ... haha

Thanks man. I was super happy with it. If I can get 405 in the next two weeks I'll be super happy

[Anthony21]

I have never really tested my 1RM. This might be a stupid question but what calculation would you use to determine what your 1rm would be?

I'm not really sure. I know there's one out there somewhere, but I'm just going on an assumption that if you can pull 350x5 you're likely able to pull 35lbs more for one rep easy

calculators are dumb. Especially for deadlifts.

Runn 5x5 for a couple passes, then test out your 1RMs.

[MKW]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of calculators, particularly because a high rep set skews it tremendously. That said, Wendler uses: (weight lifted * reps * .033) + weight lifted, so 407.75 based on 350x5.

I definitely will. The increased speed on my squats definitely helps out. Thanks a ton for that tip.

Ahhh!! that's right I forgot about that calculation. Damn I really now want to test out pulling that haha.

[bigbird916]

Lookin good bro. Congrats on those numbers!!!

Your gonna be passing me soon, good thing i'm starting 5x5 saturday

Fairly accurate-ish

Last time I pulled for reps was 315x6 ... that puts me at a calculated max of 377. Last week I pulled 375, this week I pulled 385.

[Filmbuff81]

Looking good Ant! And next Deadlift day will be another PR so you get to film it again and hide it from your little girl haha.

[Celtic8Laoch]

Im looking to pull 308 x 5 tomorrow. It will be my heaviest so far and first time over 300lbs (297x5 last Friday). Bring it!

Accurate-ish is a fair way to look at it, haha. I just typed in a few of my maxes and they're definitely in the ballpark, +/- 5-10 pounds depending on the lift.

Kill it bro. You'll pull it with no problem.

Thanks Film. My daughter is a pro with my iPhone haha. I'll be more careful next time.

Hahaha well bro you killed me on bench, long ago!!

[lllDBOlll]

Making some great gains man. When you gunna do an Ulsak?

[Anthony21]

Hahaha well bro you killed me on bench, long ago!!

Well now since you'll be on a 5x5 program, your bench is going to shoot up watch.

Do an Ulsak? You mean pull 405?

[lllDBOlll]

Yeah I have decided it should be internationally known henceforth as "To do an Ulsak"

[Anthony21]

HAHAHA well I feel I can pull an Ulsak, at the same time I just don't want to throw on 45lbs all of a sudden. I rather finish my 9 week run (I have four more workouts to complete 9 weeks) and I may just test it than at that point.
