Bodyweight? I'm 5'11" and currently 245 pounds. I've been gaining roughly 2 pounds per month for the last few months, though not really trying to. I...

Yeah I've been adding 5 pounds per week on squat and Deadlift since July. Now that I'm setting weekly PRs I've been thinking about cycling rep ranges...

Thanks, Cole. Control of the stereo is one of the best aspects of the garage gym. Lots of Metallica lately. Ride the Lightning and ...And Justice for...

Squat 420x5x1 (tied 5-rep PR); 385x5x4 Strict Press 172.5x5x5 Hang Power Clean 160x3x5

Squat has been progressing nicely on HLM. 1 topset plus 4 backoff sets seems to be working pretty well for heavy day. Deadlift triples have been...

Squat 385x5x3 Pin Press 225x5x1 Deadlift 405x5x2 DB Incline Press 65x8x3

Form looks nice and crisp. Good job. I notice your head is pointing down on deadlift instead of 12-15 feet in front. Might help to establish and...

Speed up the pace between reps. A set of 5 should take no more than 30 seconds or so. These are really hard to watch.

There are better ways to shorten your workouts than cutting rest time short. Definitely make sure you're getting adequate rest between heavy sets....

I'm curious--how long have you been running the program? Because it seems a little early to grind squats and presses if you just reset on October...

Thanks! Yes, deadlift is a PR. Last spring my deadlift "stalled" at 470x2 then I switched to block pulls for a month or so until I tweaked my back...

Squat 330x5x2 Press 212.5x2x4; 212.5x1x2 Deadlift 475x3x1; 475x2x1

It was definitely the first rep that caught my attention. 5 looks pretty solid. 2-4 were better but so quick I can't tell for sure. As someone with a...

Hi Danz. Deadlifts look pretty good with a flat back and good bar speed. One suggestion from a fellow lifter: make sure you're finishing your lockout...
