    Hi Andy,

    Looking for any input/advice on this cycle. Thank you in advanced for your time sir

    M.29yr.230lbs

    Tuesdays i squat heavy (470x3; back off 405 3 sets of 5 beltless most recent) then used to power clean but form sucks so im switching to stiff leg dead lifts but not sure of the weight or rep x set scheme yet.

    Fridays are squats 3 sets of 5 @ 90% of Tuesdays heavy squat. Then i deadlift in which I ran 5's up to 470, 3's up to 500, and then singles up to 535 which were followed by a back off set of 5. I hook everything and have never used straps yet. I failed 535, took a week off and then got it, next week i failed 540. So i propose the new cycle

    W1: 475x5, 435x5
    W2: 505x3; 435x5
    W3: 540x1; 435x5
    W4: 480x5; 440x5
    W5: 510x3; 440x5
    W6: 545x1; 440x5 ... and so on
