Going to start working up to a squat triple of 405, bench triple of 325lbs, and deadlift triple of 495lbs. I'll attempt them next friday. I SHOULDN'T have a problem hitting them, I guess we'll see though. lol

weight today was 196.4

Workout today was,

4x4 squats @ 335lbs
4x4 bench @ 275lbs
2x4 deadlifts @ 410lbs

I'm toning down the volume a bit because this Friday I'm going to try and rep out my training maxes. Hoping to come out with a calculated max of 455-475 squat, 375 bench, and 545 deadlift

Haven't updated all week because its been pretty boring. Just light sets of the big three. I'm on my way to the gym right now though to do some amraps of my training maxes. Hopefully everything goes good

Squats went as well as I was hoping. I hit 415 for 5 at an rpe8.5. Definitely had a grinder left in me, but decided to stop. On bench I hit 325x5 at an rpe9.9. lol. That last rep was pretty rough. Then on deadlift I hit 495x4 at about an 8.5.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with everything. These numbers "theoretically" put me right on track to be where I want to be. Now I just have to hope the next couple mini-blocks go as good and come time for November I hit my numbers.

Edit: All of these lifts were executed to "competition quality", they weren't "gym lifts".

was interested in seeing what my evening weight was. I weighed in at 202.2lbs, so I am managing to bulk up / get stronger without ped's. Well until last night. I pinned 300mg of test. lol. I'll probably do 500mg a week, might bump it up to 750, not sure.

I didn't think the test would hit me so fast, but I had just horrible back pumps today.. I was supposed to do an amrap on deadlifts but even just the three reps I was doing my back felt like it was going to split. lol. So I picked up some magnesium and taurine after the gym and hopefully that will get rid of them.
