    dl 135 1x5, 225 1x5, 275 1x5, 315 1x1, 365 1x1

    working from home today so able to get a workout in, decided to reduce the volume a little and not do any other squats or presses to give the higher single a shot, and it worked It was a little slow but never really in doubt.

    back to our regularly scheduled far too much volume for Friday

    Bravo! That's how you do it!

    Back in May, before my unplanned-to-planned break, my DL was stuck for a variety of reasons. J. Killmond gave some great advice here about being old enough to do just enough warmups to get that pull up to lockout. His thoughts were lessons learned when he got stuck at the same point as me—340lbs. His comments got me thinking about it (but not too much) and I was able to get over the hump on my very next session with:

    135x4
    185x2
    225x1
    275x1
    315x1
    340x5

    Smaller jumps for me, sticking to "Plates and Quarters" as Phil describes here, and significantly reducing the volume of those warmups, which kept me fresh for that successful workset.

    Using our numbers for approximately the same target weight, your warmup tonnage was 3,490lbs, while mine was 1,725.

    I look forward to resuming training in earnest next month (schedule between now and then precludes that) and seeing how that warmup scheme works in the long run towards 405.

    edit: I realize that your numbers listed were for a single-lift workout, so you needed to get some additional warmups in, so I crunched the numbers for your 365x0 on Monday, done after your Press and Squats (which should get you pretty warmed up). That warmup tonnage for the deadlift alone that day was 5,625lbs. No wonder you were gassed!

    interesting Bill, thanks! Yeah, no doubt I over-do it. I'm still not sure if being a moron like I am is a bug or a feature lol

    Haha! Perhaps both? But, as they say, awareness is the first step to recovery. If you want to. Depends on your goals.

    I'm a data geek and have been for a long time, always trying to figure out the right amount of work for the greatest performance improvement. That's true even long before I started lifting weights with a purpose.
