just need to patience to get to week 3 or 4 till im back around my usualy 5RM

Interesting to see how this works out for you as you creep back towards your 5RM. I've never really used 5's for extended periods of time.

each week ill up the number or aim to reduce the sets needed to get there. all will be weighted.

I like that tag team for assistance work. Good smashing Mark.

[JTurner]

Nice and simple, heavy squats, heavy bench, heavy rows. Should be fun as the weights go up.

[MikeM]

Good stuff, Mark! I'm going to do something similar on my next routine, so I'm interested in how this treats you too. I'm thinking you'll blow past your past numbers.

Great work on the squats markie! Looking strong

[Squatter]

Yikes -all those leg raises must have lit your core on fire. Nice reppage on the 100K bench preses as well

Let me just say there is nothing more fun then a few sets of weighted pullups and dips, get after it mark!
