Hi again!  Welcome to the day after this challenge.    I've really enjoyed reading your log along the way.

 

A lot of people dropped out; so if you're still with us then you've already succeeded in a big way!  Now's the time to look back at your challenge goals though and reflect upon how well you think you did on them.  But remember as you do so, that any progress you've made this challenge are still steps forward from where you used to be.  And any lessons you've learned while doing this challenge can be applied to future ones.

 

And speaking of future challenges, have you decided for sure what guild you're going to move into for the next challenge?  And any ideas for what your next challenge goals might be?

 

you do good work, both in the gym and on the forums.

After looking at every one else around here I don't know if I have a great squat and bench or just a shitty deadlift.

In other words...awesome deads

So now that we're a little deeper into the system you're working Hazard, what are your thoughts?  Are you liking the progression?

[matty_mcfly]

I second this question

I second this question

 

I started with very conservative training maxes compared to my PRs, so it's hard to tell if my top end strength is progressing.  But I'm making some rep records.  For example, I pulled 245# for 11 reps this week.  The last time I pulled 245# was in week 2 of the prep cycle, for 7 reps.  Adding 4 reps at the same weight at least suggests that something good is happening.

 

Overall I like it so far.  Every 3 or 4 weeks I pause to calculate my set-weights for the next 3 or 4 weeks.  That's all it takes.  After that, there's no thinking involved for the next 3 or 4 weeks.  Just do what's written.  And if I don't dally I can complete the day's lifts in under 25 minutes.

Your high reps in these make me envious that I didn't start more conservative with my TMs and 1RMs. Hitting 13 reps just look bad ass
