Reply With QuoteDeadlifts are pretty good as well, honestly. The third rep looks like you rushed it a bit. I would try to make your set up for each rep identical save perhaps the first rep. Sometimes, it helps to do a little dance or whatever before the first rep.

Thanks guys. I thought the same thing too, Adam.

Intensity Press: 167.5x1,0 WTF 155x5 (I took an extra day of rest to finish a school project. I didn't eat like I wanted, but it wasn't too bad. It's really the only way I can explain today.)
Volume Bench: 220x5x3 (first rep of each set paused)
Chin-ups: (BW+17.5)x5x3
Incline LTE: 30 lb ez curl plus 80x8, 70x8x2
Reverse Pec-Deck: 90x12x3
Captain's Chair Leg/Knee Raise: 10 lbs x 10 x 3

Volume Squat: 320x5x3
Speed Deadlift against doubled red monster mini's: 290x1x6, 290x1x4 on the minute
After squats, I had what felt like a sick lower back pump. It didn't go away during deadlifts. It was seriously bothering me and I had to stop. I think it was actually my right piriformis, but I'm not great with anatomy. I laid on the ground and rolled around on a lax ball. Hours later, I feel no remnants of it and seem to have no problems.
Neck Harness
BB Curl: 97.5x8x3
Ab Wheel: 15,12,12
I also have been experiencing a buzzing sensation in my right thigh. Great.

Nice bench, probably about the same as mine.Originally Posted by ChadTheMeatBeast
Catchin' up to me. I weighed in at 243 this morning (although admittedly probably dehydrated from beer last night.)

I hit 270x3x2 last cycle. I won't reach that this time, because my meet is in a few weeks.
My goal was to come close to 242 so I'd be at the top of the weight class. Now I have to be careful that I don't go over. Oh, and I feel fat now that my waist seems to be getting bigger everyday and the larger-sized pairs of pants I had to buy are now almost too small themselves. Cya!

Garbage.
Intensity Squat: 375x1x5 (saw I had 6 reps on video, so thought I had done that many...the 1st rep was actually a warmup. Have to edit video.)
Deadlift: 475x0 (barely budged off ground to which I said "I fucking hate myself" out loud.)
Well, fuck me. I've gained like 15 lbs and I'm weaker than I was back then. The ironic thing is that before today's workout I mailed in my check for my meet, and when I came back home my singlet was in the mailbox.
Honestly, I feel very discouraged. I guess next week I'm going to just do a deload @ like 70%. If I pulled 470x3 last week and it wasn't even hard, then it makes zero sense that I couldn't even budge 475. I squatted 355x5 and an easy 365x1 not that many weeks ago, too. I guess I just accumulate way too much fatigue. I just wish I wasn't hitting a wall like 3 weeks out from a meet.

If I were you I wouldn't deload. Switch to maybe 5 singles on squat, and try deadlift again (maybe one single?) Probably just under recovered. Also struggling on squat probably made you tired for deadlifts.

I'll just stop complaining and lift. No deload.
