PR crushage.


Recommended Posts

435 deadlift tonight. Either a 20 or 25 pound PR.

Self-directed rage is a helluva thing.

Oh, so is the Greyskull LP strength program too, I guess.

:D

What's the BW multiple?

Just shy of 2xBW. I think, haven't weighed in for a while.

Which is less good. But, I have no reason to think that my bw isn't headed downward and strengh upwards. Hoping for 500 at 200bw within the year!

Congrats!!

I've gotta keep pushing to stay ahead of you on the bench. I need an afterburner to catch you on the deadlifts....

Thanks guys!

How are you celebrating this?

Baconocolypse? :D

Pft, you're cruising right along. Your dead will be up there any time now, and I've got my work cut out for me if I'm ever catching your bench!

Not exactly crushage, but I strict pressed 150 x 9. Total volume would be 1350, which ties my old "volume PR", 135 x 10. But I think 150 x 9 is way harder, so I'm calling it a PR.

:D

That's awesome. That's over a half ton in total volume moved overhead in one set.#GuyWhoStatesTheObviousInAmazement

Just curious, is the last set for reps part of 5/3/1 that you added into Greyskull, or is that just part of Greyskull?

Nope, it's Greyskull. The thing I like about it is that it is, for me at least, a near perfect Starting Strength and 531 hybrid.

Sets are straight across, same load for all sets. Rep scheme is 5-5-max (for press, squat, and bench. Deads are warmups sets-max).

Progression is straight linear, not jumping like 531, but slower progressions than Starting Strength. Squatting twice a week. SS was too much squatting for me, 531 wasn't enough.

There's obviously no perfect program. But for, where I'm at right now, GSLP is hitting the exact right notes.
