It’s a lot of fun if you enjoy clumpy chalk from tears from knowing you still have multiple sets and probably multiple lifts.
Thanks man. Surprisingly I think bench will be my biggest mover percentage wise. I’m thinking I’ll gain 5% on squat and deadlift and 10% on my DL.
Something like 550/275/660 would be awesome.trying to get strong again

Having multiple compound lifts in a session look pretty brutal. I'm looking at the 16 week excel spread sheet, looks brutal.
Out of curiousity what does "1+2F" or "1+2R" mean?Last edited by Anthony21; 09-30-2020 at 08:57 AM.

It’s hell and then some.
The spreadsheet does a poor job of explain F and R. F is fatigue. You hit one set at a 9 then 2 fatigue sets @ 95%. R is repeat. One set @ 8 then repeat it 2 time.

Comp Bench
205x3 @ 6.5
155 7x5
RPE PR on squats so that’s cool. Shoulder flared up during squats limiting how hard I wanted to push bench. Good news is I could have hit 225x3 @ 7.5-8 which is definitely an RPE PR. Live to fight another day blah blah. Coincidentally that day is tomorrow.
This is my 9th week but I skipped to week 12 effectively turning this routine into a 13 week program instead of 16.trying to get strong again

Huge day. Almost didn’t go due to my after work life being hectic. Glad I came.
Also pulled 465x3 hook grip on my first set of 465x5. Using a 28mm helps me tremendously using hook grip. My thumbs are too short to get it secure on 29mm. Thumb ripped so I cut it short.
My top set on bench sucked. Proceeding too felt great. I didn’t really warm up so I’m thinking my top set could have been higher. Oh well.Last edited by xRequiem; 10-17-2020 at 12:12 PM.

From my last mock meet
525/245/605
Good progress for 10 weeks. My squat stand came in so I’ll be able to do a lot more volume going forward. Really need to figure my bench out. Looking for my next routine to try. It’s going to be RPE based and incorporate daily singles to help get more comfortable with squat and bench heavy loads. Also I’m cutting down to 175-178. My body is much healthier around that weight than 190. I.e my BP is 150-95 I want it down to at least 130/85trying to get strong again

Great stuff! Always good to hit some PRs!
I'll hopefully get some up here, although will only be posting 'post-injury' PRs.
It is interesting that you have such a great DL - volume on your squat may indeed help.
Good luck on getting your bench up. As high as your other lifts are I bet you can get it at least to the 300-315 range.It's never too late!
