Notes: I feel super stable underneath my squats, I think the deadlifts have improved my back tightness. In other news I got an interview with my dream company/location/function so I will be away from the internets until after that.

I think retard programming is contagious.

You caught it from me.

explain.

my programming is fine

You missed a PR deadlift and then did 2x2 with 90% 2 days later.

Retard = confirmed.

Thats not overeaching, thats overetardeding.

Actually wouldn't have even been a deadlift PR lol

90% of what? my extremely inefficient sumo deadlift PR?

this was planned out, regardless of whether I hit that deadlift last saturday I was going 2x2 with a weight I knew I could hit

I'm just saying, there is a reason why literally no legitimate training philosophies have people deadlifting heavy AND often.

I agree 3x a week is unsustainable, but I will dropping that down to 2x in a few weeks

RTS has heavy 2x a week, West Side principles (although I hate them) have 1x heavy and 1x speed

You gotta remember these are variations, not the competition lift. For example If I were to actually train my RDL for a true max I would probably be at like 675-700 lbs lol. My philosophy is to use deadlifts to get a stronger back and core, and if I can recover from this frequency/intensity I might as well continue

Me thinks that you are habitually overtrained, and that you don't even notice because you have overtrained for so long.

How long you gonna not be posting phaggot?

I suppose that is a possibility, but more than likely I can just handle it now

Next tuesday. Probably will still post workouts, just no vids

Your videos are a waste of time anyway, I only watch the heavy sets. Idgaf about your warmups.

Good luck with your interview I guess.

Notes: Basically deloaded by skipping deadlifts on wednesday, so instead of 2x2 I went heavy

you "basically deloaded" by not deadlifting to a near max 2 times in one week. internasting.

I suppose it would be a taper not a deload

Notes: Speed off the chest was tremendous today. I think the overheads are helping

I have an internasting idea about the bench press.

The bench seems to have a quick detraining of the motor pattern, while at the same time having a much lower capacity for training than the squat.

If you bench very light every day, you can keep the motor pattern while not increasing workload.

I am gonna bench 135x5x10 everyday during my next microcycle to test this out. Worst case scenario is that it does nothing, because 135 is nowhere near enough to have any type of training effect.

I think this has more to do with retaining strength/muscle than the motor pattern. Upper body strength falls off like 2x as fast as lower body if I remember correctly.

Not necessarily. You will ensure that you can keep the motor pattern with light weight, but It might not carry over to the bigger weight. I did cleans everyday for 50 days and I got awesome with light weight but I still remained terrible with heavy weights

is that 5 sets of 10 or 10 sets of 5? I would think 135 is too light to do anything positive. Worst case scenario is tendonitis in the elbows
