im confused with what your saying.

You asked "What about a progression like this instead????"

I was reading it wrong. I was reading weeks top to bottom. My mistake. I'm used to looking at weeks left to right. I thought week 1 had you doing weight uner 100 pounds on every set.

That scheme looks fine.

Good story in nots... consider reading it

Squat- wu, wu, 245x5x3*
Deadlift-***VIDS*** 225x5, 275x1, 295x1, 315x1, 335x1, 355x1**
Press-wu, wu, wu 105x5x3
grip thingy- wu, 100x25, 100x35 (too lazy to change plates heavier)

NOTES
Squating was hard as hell. i was sore as hell from front squats. these were so fucking hard. on the last set of the last rep, i dropped down to fast and the bar hit the pins. i somehow managed to get it under control and finish the rep.

then when i went to rack it, i missed it on one side. a guy stopped his bb lunges to come help, but i racked it b4 he got there.

this same guy leg pressed around 1000 lbs today. Also i saw him at target yesterday wearing a (-insert his school name) stongman shirt. Before this ive seen him help his sister out with squats. the guy is huge. i had never seen him lift before though.

yesterday when i saw him at target he was buying these:
. his mom was making fun of him for buying them.

after i walked out from under the bar he said "that was scary". i repied with "yeah i saw you at target yesterday, i was in line in front of you". he claims the smooth aways were for his girl friend." also he said he would spot me, but i was already done.

*next time i see him im going to ask for form help.*

because im an ego-maniac and was embarassed i decided to deadlift to make up for being a squat pussy.

i started with two 45's on each side. i normally use a 45 and a 35 on each side (becuase its easier to get on). so on my latter lifts i was assuming there was 20lbs less on the bar. after a few lifts i planned to go to 335lbs. i put what i thought was 335 on and got it (see vid). i guess i got it because i thought there was no way i wasnt going to get 335...

just now as i put it on youtube, i realized it was actually 355, a pr by 15 lbs.


SUCK ON THAT HOES

355x1


does this looked locked out from the vid???? (i think it was, but can you tell from this?)

the real gains have been in strength. also my legs went from like 20 to nearly 23 (although they still need a ton of work)


RANDOM NOTE
in that hat i was wearing i felt bad ass. if i remember i will start using it while i lift (just to be a total dumbass)

I just did the math. I gained 13 lbs of lbm so far, which means half of gains in fat [. Still pretty good damn progress.

thanks jblack for making me think to do this

Someone remind me. when its time to break 400 deadlift, i must wear that hat that i was wearing in pics. it would be funny for me, just try to somehow remember

It is said that hats do make your stronger
