I'm in. Recent DL max of 575. Will max on bench next week, but should be 345ish.

I might even pop in and out for a challenge. It'd be nice to have a competitive edge to training. Looks like a bunch of grinders in here, though.

Dropped in a few times of late. Don't think I'm restarting my log full time, but figured I'd drop an update. Running a heavily modified 5/3/1, fairly consistently over the last year. One main feature is doubling the normal top AMRAP set and rarely deloading: Bench+Assistance Squat+Assistance...

11/15 Squats 320 - 6 360 - 5/5 *2 hour break. Not my intentional break point, but I'm helping a buddy get started with training and I ran out of time. 320 - 8/8 Pretty demanding squat session. RDLs 235 - 8/8/8/8 DB Farmers Walk 80 steps x 2 No drops, upped the pace from previous. Hike...

That'll probably be a recurring theme. Guy's nothing more than a con man.

11/11 Hike 2.04 miles - 55:34 Carried my toddler (35lbs) on the shoulders for ~1.5 of those miles. 11/12 Deadlift 405 - 3 435 - 2 455 - 1/F Deads just haven't bee on lately. Probably a combination of weight loss / diet and the amount of use my legs & lower back are seeing. Zerchers 215 -...

Two horrible choices. I voted for Gary Johnson, and he himself wasn't the ideal Libertarian candidate, but that's the party that aligns with my values.

I'd be in for comp as well

11/8 Squats 355 - 3/3/3/3/3/3/3 (may have been an 8th set, lost count) For fun: 385 - 2 405 - 1 RDL's 225 - 8/8/8/8 About to rework my Press, Squat, Bench programming. Nothing too drastic, just change the reps/sets to a couple of low rep/heavier initial sets followed by some higher...

11/7 Press 160 - 5/5/5/4+F/4 Cleaned first two sets up. Close Grip Bench 225 - 8/7/6/4 Plan was still 8x4, but I ended up with the exact same reps as last week. Dips 12/12/10/8 Really a meh day. First time in a while I've missed reps. Cut may be catching up with me.

What contest are you prepping for? Also, saw your vids over at r/strongman. I've been lurking over there quite a bit as well, but have yet to make an account.

You on that bulk time? I thought you were sitting ~215 (97.5) for a while.
