Didn’t go very heavy on the squats, was pretty dead by that point. 3RM PRs in bench and squat this week while trying my DL 3RM, progressing nicely

Apr 27: taper/deload

Was originally supposed to do the last workout of the program today, taper next week and then max out, by found out my gym will be closed for a couple days for renovations right when I’m supposed to peak. Sick timing. So instead of doing the last workout I began tapering today. Worked up to an easy single on each lift: 350x1 squat, 265x1 bench, and 385 on DL. Also did some facepulls and rows.

I’ll take off this weekend and text my maxes next week. Squat on Monday,bench Wednesday and DL Friday.

Apr 30- max squat testing

Squat:
Warmups to 375
405x1
425x1 PR +5
440x1 PR +20

One of the hardest reps of my life. Was debating between 435 and 440 for my 3rd attempt, and my buddy convinced me to go for 440 to give me my first 200kg squat. Hit a serious sticking point half way up and almost lost it but recovered and locked it out. Lower back is feeling pretty sore right now, mostly in my spinal erectors and nothing near the SI joint tho. Getting a massage tomorrow and not deadlifting til Friday so should be fine.

Deload bench up to 80%, facepulls

May 2: max bench

bench:
warmups to 250
270x1 flew up
285x1 moved good
300x1 PR +10 I felt pretty confident about this but it actually moved better/easier than I expected, so decided to do one more attempt
305x1 PR +15 a slow grind pretty much the whole way but never really in doubt

Never thought I'd ever hit a 15 lb bench PR again. I think everything above 265 has only been 5 lb jumps. Everything just felt lighter and moved great today.

light incline db press, cable rows, facepulls, arms. nothing too strenuous. off tomorrow and DL on Friday.

may 4: max DL

sumo DL:
warmups to 405
455x1
475x1
500x1 PR +15 was pretty easy tbh
515x1 PR +30 also moved good and didn't feel like a max
525xf got pulled forward and did not feel good on my back so I bailed. its prob there if I schedule my attempts differently. have a video of the 515, just need to figure out how to post it, lol old people

prob the best week ive ever had lifting wise. ill prob take the weekend off and see where my OHP is at on Monday and then start a cut for 2-3 months.

Squat:
225x5
