how comfortable was 245lbs on the deadlift?
Very. None of the reps were really painful, they just required a lot of effort in the last few reps. The last rep was a challenge. But, they were all very smooth.

Dont worry about it too much, there will come a point where the weight will outstrip your ability to keep the same volume. These things come in waves i find. At some point you'll randomly get 13 reps or something and have absolutely no fucking idea when your strength improved.
Also may be worth looking into your pre-workout nutrition slightly. I always do worse if im not fully hydrated in terms of water, electrolytes, and of course - sugar.
A big scoop of dextrose in a lucozade sport usually sorts me out.
Workouts are looking great

Stepaukas, are really that desperate to get one up on Phineas that you come into his journal and create a reason to insult him out of thin air?
Get a life, man. Seriously.
Ive never even heard of stepaukas!
Shit, just realized another error. These were all BW + 45 lbs.
Its pretty much the same conclusion i came to with the assistance work. I was getting way to fried from the big 5/3/1 set to do another lift focused on the same movement, so switched them. Did my squat accessory on dead day and vice versa.
I think direct core work is all well and good, but if doing RDLs will help add 30lbs to your deadlift your core will already be stronger. I say go for it. More deadlifting is always a good thing
Awesome. Thanks!
Also, thought you'd be interested to here Monday I was in Vancouver seeing Motorhead! They come to Canada like once every 5 or 6 years, so I feel priviledged to have seen Lemmy while he's still alive, lol. They put on an incredible show. Not too many of my favourite bands left to see. Overkill is top on my list. I missed them last April in Vancouver but fortunately they have many years left in them. They just released their best album since 1991.
Nice!
I always thought Inferno was Motorhead's best album, and it was when a lot of people thought they were past their prime. Life's A Bitch is an absolutely fantastic track and totally what a Motorhead song should sound like.
I have a few gigs lined up in March. Got Devin Townsend, Electric Wizard, and Manowar all in one month \m/. Was gonna go see Kyuss aswell, but couldn't get tickets. My boss is going and i'm really fucking jealous since he's seen them like 3 times, haha. Also might be getting free (!!!) Sonisphere Festival tickets so i can see the big four
Glad your happy with the way things are going, how long are you going to stick with the 5/3/1 for and what do you have in mind for after that?
Nice job
So how much are you going to bump up for the next cycle of this? Also, any weight gain?
