Starting HLM/Intermediate programming.
SQ: 330 1X4. DL: 340 1X5. Press 122 3X3. BP 180 3X3. I think i have finally exhausted my LP life-span. Squats feel near RM, and back-off sets make me feel even more tired. I moved DL into intermediate a while ago, and i'll move my presses into intermediate programmings in a few workouts more. I have seen the HLM setup on PPST3 and says that i should get 5x5, 5x5 and 1x5, although it seems too hard/long. I wonder if i could do another rep range for squats and do deadlifts other day, like Wednesday, squats also seem too hard because i think they are done in a near maximal range. And y'know, this might sound like i'm being a scared piece of shit, but i honestly like to lift. It's just that 5X5 on squats near max weight sounds too fucking hard, almost like TM. My experience tells me that i could not keep up that Monday for more than a few weeks, if so. I haven't defined my "goals" but getting stronger and bigger sounds good enough. Sorry if i ask for too much, i just wonder if i could get a small guide into intermediate programming, at least on the squat.
Nowadays i'm doing:
Monday: SQ1X5+BACK OFF SETS. PRESS/BP 3X3 ,CHINS
WED 80% SQUAT, PRESS/BP 3X3, DL 1X5.
REPEAT MONDAY.
