Beer and pizza makes everything better!
Hi aug. Yes and no. The first thing to always keep in mind is that while not particularly talented and late to the game (I only started lifting 3 years ago) I am a deadlift addict, so despite Adam Skillin's best efforts to get me to follow a reasonable program I would invariably deadlift every single session. Given the factors of my life (very little sleep, 53 years old, etc) I simply could not recover and stagnated. Being a moron, it took a few years and reading The Barbell Prescription for me to finally reset and and follow the HLM template contained therein. I'm following the squat part faithfully (heavy day is 4x5, light day 2x5 at 90% of heavy, medium day is 3x5 at 95% of heavy, adding 5 pounds every week to heavy), and i only dead now once a week on the light squat day. My programming for the deadlift day is I want to go up 5lbs a week on a heavy single and also on a set of 5 at some 50lbs below the heavy single. I'm hoping that my reasonable adherence to the HLM template for the squats will drive the deadlift gains. We'll see :)

mixed bag. a little tired from being out in a liquaceous was last night. squats felt fine. deads were meh. i was so pissed at failing 380 that i only waited about 4 minutes to do the 3 at 330; at least a pr in something for five.
argh.
Argh? It's a deadlift PR! Well done! And you'll get that 380 next time!
Well, a PR is a PR - nicely done, and in your favorite lift!
thanks you're right but i really wanted that single
