[only working sets show] 5'8", 170lb (-2lb) Sumo Deadlift (recoding, 5 minutes b/w): 355lb x 5, x 3 Squat (recoding, 5 minutes b/w): 255lb x 3, x 3, x 2 Paused Bench (~87% touch-and-go bench, 3 minutes b/w): 205lb x 2, x 2, x 2, x 1 Machine Row (5RM, 1.5 minutes b/w): 200lb x 4, x 3, x 2...

[only working sets shown] 5'8", ~172lb. I'm thinking about dropping the calorie intake by 200-300. I need to get some protein powder so I don't have to worry about intake because I've been averaging 120-130g/day and I should probably be up around 160-170g/day. Squat (recoding, 5 minutes...

What does your volume for DLs and weight loss per week look like?

Maintain volume as much as possible. You can cluster to the target rep range if need be.

5'8", ~172lb (-1lb) Sumo Deadlift (recoding, 5 minutes b/w): 135lb x 3, 225lb x 2, 315lb x 1 345lb x 3, x 3, x 3 Deficit Deadlift (NEW, coding): 275lb x 5 Didn't want to go too heavy on these. My lower back felt completely fried after sumo and deficits, and it was already sore beforehand...

Scale said about 172.5lb today after cardio, so I should be around 172lb in the morning. I'll weigh again on Sunday. After some playing around, I'm just gonna stick with the sumo DLs with deficit conventional DL as my accessory. Videoed my standard conventional DLs and I've got some...

Damn, real solid PRs there. I hope for progress like that when I start my bulk. Your bench and squat #s pre-DUP are where mine are now, basically. Good work.

Only thing mentionable, did a standard conventional deadlift for the first time in 3 years. 345lb x 5. Felt much harder than what I'm used to but it also felt like a proper deadlift with hamstring involvement, and bar being dragged up the shins from the start. Couldn't do a second set...

Yeah, I like 'em a lot. Weirdly, torso angle seems even more vertical then when it used to be when I pulled conventionally way back when. It might be because my weight was shifted more onto the balls of my feet than my heels in the past. I think I'll do these for now on Fridays (after sumo...

:confused:

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 173lb (-.5lb) Bench (~85% 1RM, 3 minutes b/w): 200lb x 5, 195lb x 4, x 3 Barely got the 5th rep, which was a bit dishartening. I did a bunch of manual labor in a kitchen this morning so I'll chock it up to that. Squat (recoding, 5 minutes b/w): 255lb x 5, x...

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 173.5lb Sumo Deadlift (<80%, 5 minutes b/w): 335lb x 5, x 5 (technically rest-pause at 3,2 for 2nd set because phone alarm started blarring in my ear and had to be turned off). Feels good. Not perfect, but good. Bench (~82% 1RM, 3 minutes b/w): 195lb x 5, x...

Did some triples with 325lb with various stances and realized that I'm best fitted to deadlifting sumo. So I'm gonna just go back to doing what I was doing with the exception of trying to control the eccentric just a bit more and take a SLIGHTLY narrower stance for purposes of having a good...

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 173.5lb (-.5lb) Bench (~82% 1RM, 3 minutes b/w): 195lb x 5, x 5, x 5 First 2 sets were easy, last set something was up which made the final rep a grinder. Sans that, things are feeling pretty good right now. Hybrid Deadlift (recoding, 5 minutes b/w): 315lb...

Would something like a floor press be a reasonable alternative for the time-being?

Clustering, myoreps, max stim. You can also change the rep scheme. 12, 8, 5, 3. 8, 5, 3, singles. 8, 5, 3, 3. W/E

5'8", 174lb Another day of 190lb bench as I continue to recode. Feeling pretty good for the most part - the first set was so easy, it felt like I could have hit at least 12 reps, though I think I'm going to have to ask for an unrack once I'm up in the 200lbs from now on. Luckily, on Candito's...

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 174lb (-.5lb) Probably going to need to reduce calories a bit more. Bench (~80% 1RM, 3 minutes b/w): 190lb x 5, x 5, x 5 Sumo Deadlift (85% 1RM, 5 minutes b/w): 385lb x 1...felt super shitty today, so then did 315lb x 3, x 3 Weighted Pullups (~5RM, 3 minutes...

Switching to toes-on-ground only bench approach again for a while to see how things work. I like the bigger arch it provides. Also decided to switch back to squat shoes. Haven't been feeling very stable squatting in flats so will stick with what works.

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 174.5lb Bench (recoding, 3 minutes b/w): 190lb x 3, 205lb x 2, 190lb x 3, x 3, x 4 Still working on this. 190lb feels real easy as it should, though not completely perfect, but once I jump up to 205lb, shit gets wonky. Seems like my right arm likes to take...
