Can move up to 340lbs for the deadlift now :)
I'll be at 365x5 in a few months probably.
My back is getting pretty strong. Rows and deads are consistently improving. Pullups not so much... but that could be cuz I'm 5lbs heavier.

Eccentric is more of a RDL. I dont remember where I was reading this, but it was recommended to do this on the way down as it keeps less stress on the lower back

will try to keep bar against shins more

Deadlifts were much harder than usual. I screwed up the form on the 365x1 a little so it was a real grind to get it up. That made me pretty tired.

Form was great on the 335x5 though! Here's a vid:

(there's a 10lb bumper plate in there)

Who knows... maybe that temporary relief allowed you to squat better and therefore improve your glute strength.

that's what im thinking. i did have another factor involved though: strengthing my VMO's and changing the firing pattern of my quads.
i had made a thread about this a long time ago. here's a vid i made. left knee was bad knee. right knee was good knee.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2neCEbA6Pw
notice when the VMO fired on each quad. today my left quad fires just like my right quad.

Went up in the squat and bench. lateral raises also felt easier. either its the extra day off, or the fact that im using creatine now. been forgetting to take it though.

we'll see as the week goes on. will be sure to get 5-7g a day this whole week.

fwiw, foam rolling my IT bands and switching to ATG squats eliminated my patellar tendonitis


directly after rolling my IT bands i would have no knee pain for a short while. perhaps getting my glutes a better workout through ATG squats solidified my progress?

Damn this workout felt good.


I'm a fan of push/pull instead of my usual upper/lower so far. Only draw back is I have more warm up sets to do in total since I'm doing so many different body parts.

Was planning a de-load this week, but was thinking to de-load on friday and skip sunday's deadlift workout. Mini de-load. Then I'm changing my workout up. Instead of upper/lower, it'll be push/pull. So Monday will be Bench and Squat... that's why I would skip deadlifting on fridays.

But I woke up pretty sick, so I'm de-loading today instead and also this wednesday's Squat workout for sure. Probably friday too, depending on how i feel.
