Wow- Great job on the deadlifts! Very impressive work.

I've been away from the forums for most of the past couple of months. But, as expected, you've been churning away with your regular discipline!

I Continue to add reps - 6 weeks ago I could barely get 95 for 6 on LTE. Every time I add a rep to the work sets it seems to be enough to drive another rep the next time.lol @ arm work novice progression.

Decided to work up to singles on warmup of the primary lifts for practice and to begin to set benchmarks For whenever I decide to measure or compete.
SLDL s were brutal I was a bit underrecovered, I had many late night and early morning calls and worried texts this weekend with family in corpus and Houston.
