I like the new program. Hopefully your lower back will make it through squating twice along with sumo deads in one week

You said you do Sumo DL's almost as a rehab. Do you find conventional hurt too much? I ask because I have a hard time doing conventional deadlifts and sadly my Stifflegged DL's are much stronger (IE: I can do more weight). |

And about the squats...it's all planned out for me dude....it is planned to start light and it increases every week. It starts off of your 5 RM, which I conservatively put 275 for squats, since I suck at them anyway, so I want to practice them and get them done right. so you put in 275 for a 5RM and it comes up with all sorts of calculations for you, by the 3rd week, you hit your 5RM and then week 4 you go for a 5RM record, then a deload week, then you go for higher weights for 3x3 instead of 5x5 for the next 4 weeks. It is dual factor periodization. you should read about it, it's quite interesting actually |

Definitely do....I really like it so far, it's only one easy week, but I can see it's going to be a good program. After a week though, and analyzing it a little more, I can see where some changes might be good. For example, the program calls for you to squat every day during the 4 week 5x5 stage, only on day 2 you do about 15% less than day 1 weights. Now I can see this being a problem, for me at least, as the weights get higher and higher. So I will probably drop the squats on day 2 and just do them twice per week.
Other than that, it's pretty cool....only long and somewhat boring as you are doing about 20 sets per day, and since it is generally a strength program, there is 2-4 minute rests between sets, so you do the math and figure out how long a workout takes! |

i really concentrate on leaning back before i begin my pull, i noticed today i did a real good job of pushing off with my legs, so my legs were noticeably fatigued from the deads today, but obviously, the back goes along for the ride too, so who knows, i can just monitor it and see what happens |
It always makes my back feel better.
