Didn't use my workout app this morning because I was at a different gym with different equipment that wouldn't have related well to my previous performances but here's how the morning went:

Cable Crossovers
50x12
50x12
50x12
50x12
50x12

Rear Dumbbell Laterals
20x12
20x12

Straight Arm Pulldowns

50x12
50x12

Incline Dumbbell Presses
45x12
45x12
45x12

Deadlifts
135x3
225x3
315x3
405x3
495 - attempted and got off the floor, but didn't attempt lockout

Standing Calf Raises
160x12
240x12
340x10
380x8
400x6

Didn't feel a thing in my hernia with deads. So, I'm pretty excited about being able to continue doing them. I also think it bodes well for me doing walking dumbbell lunges for quads.

Some great work MA. Really caught me by surprise tossing those deads in for a few reasons lol. 1) the hernia 2) placement in the routine 3)the weight , because of the hernia
Glad it didn't bother the hernia but we both know you can't always feel damage. Just be careful brother. Awesome session, getting in some great volume.

I've been playing with exercises and I can definitely tell when one isn't right. There's this extra strain I feel in my abdomen. As for the placement in the routine, it helps keep the weights a bit lower. I've been as high as 515x15 with my deads in the past. So, relatively speaking, 405x3 isn't terribly heavy for me. Since that was still a sub-maximal effort set (I feel like 455x1 could have happened), I'm going to use it as the set to calculate my training max for a 531 scheme (445). I'm going to use it for deads alone and I'm planning on skipping deload weeks since I'm doing deads every other week. So, I'll be doing a new rotation every 6 weeks which is less than a normal 531 routine (every 4). I'm excited to have deads back. The heavier weights shock the nervous system which is neglected in a scheme like this one. As always, I need to be careful and very aware of my body.

Wow 515 for 15 or is that a typo? Lol

 

[MuscleAddict83]

I've got a vid somewhere, but I can't find it.

Find that shit or it didn't happen!!!! Haha I teasing bro, that's insane!

 

[MuscleAddict83]

I can only find the one before it that was 415x15. Still a good accomplishment though. I was psyched that day!

[IronSoul]

Holy shit bro!!! Fukkin ridiculous. That's a huge accomplishment.

 

[MuscleAddict83]

I hope to surpass it all! I start the new 531 program this week.

Hell yeah man. How's the hernia feeling?

 

[MuscleAddict83]

Feeling great and as far as I can tell it's the same size.

Had a great chest and back day today. The trest has definitely kicked in!!! Increased strength and endurance. Increased the weights on everything and I still made rep counts for each set. This is getting to be rough!!! LOL!

Diet hasn't been the greatest the last few days. Money's been a little tight this week and so has time because the weekend was so full. So, I've been eating whatever we had quick to grap which has been a LOT of carbs. Finally had time to get some cooking done last night though so today is back on track!
