Thanks man!
I have been holding myself accountable as of end of January 2019. At first I was just fucking around with weights, not caring about the numbers, just doing high volume with both heavy and light weights, so lots of sets of 1-2 and lots of 10-15. I grew some actual muscles. I started Madcow with really conservative numbers 8 weeks ago and have been riding the linear progression. Deads are heavy but manageable, squats are the same. 290 for 5 wasn't more than an RPE of 7-8, 425 for 5 on deads was probably where I'm stopping. I think I'm good to back off next week and restart with new maxes. My OHP has shot up. I did a joker single of 175 about a month and a half ago. Z Presses have been really helpful.
What I like about Madcow is the simplicity and the fact that I'm not training for hours on end.
Consistency is the biggest thing! I’m glad you found something that’s working for you.
