DL; 3-200kg, 220kg, 230kg, 240kg@9.

PSQS; 3-120kg, 2x3-140kg. Left MCL was cracking and sliding all over, pretty sure it’s back in the correct place though. Had a lot more load and intensity to spare but wasn’t confident in pushing the ligament yet.

Pull-ups; 3x5-bw, will aim to do a lot more tonight. 4x5-bw, evening.

Decided to go for maxes on a daily basis and take the weekends off, see how it goes etc. Friday will be the high volume day. Hopefully it works?

Sounds a bit too extreme on intensity, but I think as long as you mix low rep days and higher rep days, you will be alright. Low rep max effort every day is a recipe for injury.

Colour me a skeptic, so far as that position is concerned. I’ve always found volume to create bigger issues with injury or lifting-health than intensity.

Squats won’t happen for heavier singles, that was dumb :/
