They both have their place. To not do any 5 rep work would be a mistake.
Well, I deadlifted last Tuesday
Fortunately, sleep happened and AIDS has dissipated so things should get back to normal.
Oh yes, absolutely. In fact I do singles on everything after 140kg.

Nice and comfortable while I'm getting over the lingering effects of being ill. Felt a bit messy, but I'm not sure how real that is because I was also feeling pretty gross.

Triceps were fatigued from last night, and lats were shot from paused deadlifts, so that went surprisingly well. 130 is starting to get really comfortable.

Fun session. Surprising pumps even from the early low rep stuff, which seems to be a good thing. Oh, and I discovered a new pec stretch that perfectly hit the restriction in my left shoulder. A little tricky to set up though.

Son, I am impress.
Managed to stretch the bejesus out of my quads doing my half assed DBSS/SS effort. Not looking forward to full DBSS feels.
Cheers bru.
My legs feel real good after putting them through a healthy range
Thanks, those were not easy sessions!Just read the whole of this page and these numbers boggle the mind! :O Especially the sessions when you were ill... Ridiculous. Makes me wish I started younger seeing all you young joocey bro's. (dem 30yo feels)
Solid lifting dude.
We can all wish we started earlier, but ultimately it doesn't change anything.

Obscene.

Yeah the top of my rec fem and intermedialis (as a whole) feels like jelly, tender as sin and I didn't even really have much of a deficit! Goes to show how important things like walking lunges and D/BSS are for leg/hip health
With pain comes pride
Agreed
