LiE's Log Part 2

Deads don't seem to be affected by the squats. Probably because I struggle to use my glutes to drive them 
Quick video of my form at 140kg:
and the deadlifts, notice my annoyance at the belt at the end of the set:
Speed of the first rep was pretty good!
(I think the guy is mirin?)
Deep burn doing SS (knee coming forward a little too much?):

Good work mate. That guy was totally mirin

He went on to do deads after I had finished, they didn't look pretty.
Lol @ post SS collapse.
Epic training session, though - you must have looked like John Wayne as an OAP after that!
Awesome stuff!
Loving them, really humbling as ice says.
Here's the full workout from Friday.

Think I'm going to swap things round and do chest today. My energy/legs aren't feeling up to a leg workout tonight.

Chest on a Monday.....You'll have to fight for a bench!
Man of Honour
Chest Mondays!

I get in early enough so it's not normally a problem, worst case I have to share
It has to be done
Squats and deadlifts are super taxing and Monday isn't great for being 100%.
Caporegime
Share? With who?
The one-inch bench man?

LiE, I've decided to do 5-3-1 after my Christmas week off
Any chance I could pester you nearer the time for some help about it and how to go about, it as it's going to be completely new territory for me

How long you planning to do it for?
Pester away.
Pester away.

Well that's just it, I don't really know much about it at all in terms of the ideal length of time to be on it (all I'm looking to get out of it is a decent improvement on my main lifts, just to get past a couple of plateaus). And a decent sort of routine to follow with it.
I've read a couple of articles but a couple conflict each other, so I'd rather go with someone on here who's done it before

I would say 3-4 cycles to get some benefit from it. I haven't done any longer than this but lifts were increasing each cycle steadily.

LiE, you ordered with MP recently...
Just seen the ****storm on their FB page regarding orders during the last 3 weeks and not being despatched. When did you order, how long did it take to arrive and did you use DPD?
Cheers broseph, just feeling a little uneasy now as I need it all, out of pretty much everything

Ordered Friday evening, arrived this morning via DPD. My local DPD guy is very good, never once has he missed his delivery slot.
Man of Honour
Cool, that eases my worries a little bit, if you look at their FB page there is a tonne of issues. I'm hoping it's just a small percentage, and the happy customers as normal are the ones you don't hear about
Caporegime
Theres always complaints, I've not been unlucky enough to get a mega delay yet! But then I use the free delivery normally
Going to try some bench pause singles tonight.
