very sore after raking leaves on Saturday yahoo
Not as heavy as it would have been in another week.
Call it a win.
Pretty sure 335 is heavy no matter what you've been doing.
Although I have only tested this to 315. LOL.
keep testing and you'll get it!

ohp 104 3x4
sq 104 3x5
dl 160 1x5, 210 1x5, 250 1x5, 300 1x5, 340 1x5
note to self: 340 is heavier than 335
10-4 on both squats and presses.
Out of curiosity, is there a reasoning or reason behind staying there? Focusing on DL? something else?
yeah it's a very simple but weird reason: I don't have a squat rack, so all I can "squat" with are a pair of 52lb dumbells nestled on my shoulders, which I also use for the ohp. If I can clear a little more space in the garage I will consider power cleans, so then the ohp could rise some, but then that would entail more time spent taking plates on and off the deadlift bar, time which I really am loathe to give as I have a narrow window to work out in while working at home. If I were to report things accurately the way my workouts actually go is:
dl 160 1x5
ohp 104 1x4
sq 104 1x5
dl 210 1x5
ohp 104 1x4
sq 104 1x5
dl 250 1x5
ohp 104 1x4
sq 104 1x5
dl 300 1x5
dl 340 1x5
I do the faux "sq" and "ohp" between my 1st 3 warm up sets on the deads just to get something upper-bodyish done (I also do 10 rows with the dumbells after each 'sq' because Gunzzz). While not obviously The Program it has allowed me to keep at least bumping up against the deadlift weights I was lifting while doing a more traditional program. Does that make any sense?
