"Broe" is the feminine noun. I think adding weight was a good idea. I think you should stay at 275 on the squat for next workout, especially since you can just take longer breaks next time. SS is meant to be a linear progression. Find a starting weight using the method described in the program and gogogo dammit!

Still somewhat accurate.

After posting I realized it may have been on purpose, just taking it to that next level.

How regularly did you lift and what type of bodybuilding stuff did you do from 23 to 28? You're strong for 185 lbs (edit: in the presses), but 5 years is a long time. It's nice to see that your goal is strength now.

Also, why did you want to see a deadlift vid?

Well when was 22 I went to county jail for 3 months, I had alcohol and drug issues that got me in all kinds of trouble. I went into jail almost 23 weighing 155 maybe 160. I started doing pushups in sets of 20 at first doing 200/day.

After a month or two moving my sets up to 30/33/35 I eventually got up to every other day 300 pushups in sets of 50. I was doing situps leg lifts and squats as well.

I left jail weighing 205 pounds.

A year or so of just doing pushups till I got into going to the gym, working on machines and eventually freeweights and bench.

The last 3-4 years i had a routine here I did shoulders/triceps on monday; tuesday I did back.
Thursday I did chest and curls. Yes I did curls, but I skipped on the curls a lot, except the preacher curl. Friday, I did a leg routine. With abs and cardio on and off.

I wanted to see how wide your grip and stance was compared to your shoulders and also how far from your shins the bar was when on the floor.

Wow. I've imagined if I was in jail I would do push-ups w/my feet elevated, dips, chin-ups, pull-ups, and pistols.

My cousin recently went to jail for a month. He went in at 5'3" 145 lbs and came out . . . 5'3" 145 lbs. All he did was bet noodles on basketball games. He is a Kentucky fan, so he had quite a few noodles.

Yea, I made the best of it, worked in the kitchen for time off my stay, and we could make out own breakfast. So I had like 5 eggs bacon fruit milk and basically whatever I could fit in my belly, which was really nice. The food they served otherwise was not good.

It would've been much better if they had a library with some decent books. You had to mail order your books. Or you could sleep during the day. They made you come out of your cell(we had our own cells thank god) in the daytime.

There was a dude that did upside-down pushups, and he could do sets of 20+ all the way down.

It was pretty ****ty though because I went right when summer was starting, so I spent the whole summer in there.(basically, summers in WI arent that long).

So I deadlifted monday and wednesday this week, both times hitting new pr's 265/295.

Can I dl again tomorrow?

This was my dl from yesterday 295 x 4.

I was pretty tired when I did this, it was not easy.

read the deadlift section. your arms should be outside your legs and the bar should be touching your shins.

Tomorrow was planning on;

Squat 3x5x275 I'm really excited to see how I do.

Bench 3x5x340 I'm equally excited to see how I do.

DL 1x5 305

I saw your 365 squat miles. You get that up quick. Im thinking about moving down in weight untill I can get up that fast. Thoughts anyone?

I get out of the bottom pretty well but stall in the middle a bit on my last 2 sets.

Nailed everything except the dl.

I was really exhausted after the squats, and so here was my dl today;

5x95
3x155
2x205
1x245
1x295
5x225

with

squat

3x5x275

bench press

3x5x240(+5)

No points for getting my order mixed up and doing bench last. Im ok with it since I dl'ed twice this week already.

maybe its the angle, but doesnt look like you are getting your hips through at the top?

definitely not.

yeah this. DL isn't terribad, but your stance should be narrower (like a vertical jump), you shouldn't wear gloves (effectively thickens the bar), and the bar should be in contact with your legs the whole way.

I wouldn't DL again tomorrow. Weight's high enough to warrant a little more rest.

meh. Keep increasing while you can. These are mostly slow lifts. They get slow when they get heavy. Miles is a freak.

I added 10 to my squat again this week, with not too much difficulty. I had a shallow 5th rep on the second set, but it was due to getting my grip a but messed up during the first few.

My press was weak sauce today. Just didn't have it. I might've not eaten enough in the am, or maybe i was tired from the squat. I dont know, but it wasnt happening.

Didn't add to my dl this week, yet. I will on friday. Did my 5 reps pretty easily today. I also improved my form significantly.

The power cleans felt extra explosive. Most likely because I was so happy to be done after them. They felt good.
