I went up 10lbs on the DL from last week where I did 250x5. I really thought i would get 3 reps with 260 but it wasn't happening .I did a Back Off set with 225. I have been reading Barbell Medicine and Sullys articles and see that we are all individuals as far as how volume works for us. I see the Shugg did a sort of deload after hitting a PR last week. I think I will do something similar next WO by going to 230 x5 for 3 sets . So far micro loading on the BP seems to be working doing 3 sets across,may try doing the same with the press since I seem stuck doing one workset.

Jerry, nice progress on the squats. I find a loose belt is less helpful than no belt. I would try to keep the belt tight for your lifts. I find it help me with both squats and presses.

Thanks Pete. I'm using a lever belt and don't flip it closed on the two sets before the work set , I'd did use it for the back off. I really should use it more,but part of my reluctance is that I used train at Dr Kens gym her in LI and he had us brainwashed to,the fact a belt should only be used for max completion lifts. I say that since using the belt in training I have not had any back issues . I will heed your advice next WO.

Hi Jerry

Nice lifts.

I was a late accepter of using the belt, but use it now on last warm up and top sets. Feels right.

I had planed to do 3 sets of dealifts but the first rep of the.first set didn't go,I.had to make.sure the weight was correct, it was so I waited a few minutes and did the set.Then just.did one more.
I only.went up half a pound on the bench and though 5 reps was going to happen 3 was all I had. Maybe 2 days rest is not enough.I will see how it goes next time.

SQTS were ok, I went up 5 lbs for the work set on the press and see it was too much, really didn't want to do a single.I will adjust the weight next week.

I really feel two days between workouts is not enough time for recovery for me when doing both lower body and upper body lifts.
I am going to continue with this program for another few weeks just because it is what imhad layed out.
When this is done I may either do something like what I read in BB RX, the Greysteel Michigan Program or something where you do one main lift on any given day .
The dead lift today went ok although the first rep on the fist work set felt heavy, but I did the 3 sets across waiting 5 minutes between sets.
The BP went ok, the first set of 5 reps felt easy,but the last rep of the last set was a grinder. Everything felt fine after the WO but a few hours later my left shoulder was aching,so I took some Motrin and today as I'm updating my log have ice packs on the shoulder.

I woke up and my shoulder felt OK . I did the presses starting out with the bar hangng from chains at waist height. I push forward until the bar gets to shoulder height and then press. Suprisingly my shoulder now feels fine. I'm not sure if I will do the BB bench next WO, I may go back to using DB wit ha parallel grip.
