The Syla5 Files

Deadlift is looking strong Syla, how you finding it so far? Looks like im back to morning sessions again now due to work hours, can't complain though as it hasn't done any harm from before.
 
I really feel comfortable with the positioning. This is something that i have struggled with, and as i am sure you know, if you dont feel comfortable for a lift, its not going to go as well.

I have no idea if it is actually beneficial or not yet as i havent gone heavy, but i shall see how time is tomorrow morning and give a couple of higher weight doubles a go and let you know. If this really does help and i can bring my deadlift to a proportion of my squat that everyone else seems to have, that should see my dl up in the 170 area. We shall see.

You're not allowed to do 170.. That's more than me :(:p
 
cycle 1 week 2 of 15s is almost over

Deadlifts 75x15x2
Heres a vid of my deadlifts from the front using my adjusted stance

Rest of the workout was pretty good, but i was starting to flag by the end, maybe need to try some BCAA's to help my fasted training.
 
I say fasted, but i do have my morning Shake at least before i start, so i guess just some BCAA's thrown in to that maybe?
 
Deads look good :)

thank you, looking forward to going heavy to see how the form holds.

How do you deal with the end of the cycle normally Ice, do you do 5's for 3 weeks and then have an SD week?

Also do you start up with 15's again in cycle 2?

Not fasted then is it ;). Typically a scoop or two of whey will have plenty of Leucine etc. so adding more isn't going to change anything. Your probably just not used to training early, yet.

I tend to just do 4 weeks of 5 reps, but that assumes a 3*increment PB is possible. Just play it by ear.

I like to always do the 15 rep phase, I kind of have a love/hate relationship with it!
 
Cheers,

I was planning 3 weeks of 5's so week 3 would be new rep PB's week and would help me setup 5's for the next cycle.

What do you do with 15's and 10's weights for new cycles do you just add say 5kg or 2.5kg to big/small lifts and go with that?
 
I normally set up every cycle so I finish each phase with a small PB, and then aim to beat each one next cycle. This only really works because I've done a few cycles so I know where I can push it, so do it like you've suggested at first and get more aggressive next cycle or the one after.
 
Stocking up on some essentials :)

1.5kg blueberries :D I freeze them so these will prob last me and Sam close to a month. The creatine was £14 I think and 1kg so can be go cheaper on myprotein if your not paying postage. Seeing as I would have had to pay postage it wasnt worth the hassle. Gonna roll with 8g a day I think and see how it goes.
