Another 531 Frequency Project

yeah, I think I’ll avoid straps on deadlifts as I’ve been fine grip-wise for everything but the 300+ range

didn’t know you want to be an s&c coach, that’s awesome! I feel you on the being chunky part, I don’t think it helps to be fat, unless you’re maybe at a high/geared level of PL

yea, I also think after your normal work sets for 531, you should go back down to whatever weight you used for your first or second work set and do a couple more triples.And thanks for complimenting my future career choice. And yea I agree about until I am squatting 500 plus lbs i will care about how lean I am haha.

Comments- I have never done sumo deadlifts before today,and they were a little weird to learn. But by the 3rd set or so I really started to feel my hips/glutes working more which is why I have decided to start putting that lift in my training.

I love sumo pulling! I’m more built for it than conventional, but only really use sumo to test my max if that makes sense. You could definitely up it to 185 or 225 for speed reps.

yea I know i could def do like 225 or 250 for sumo speed pulls, i just wanted to get the technique down the other day. but i actually do like the way they feel and will work them in as an assistance lift.

do you squat wide? I could see them helping with the hips. strong db rows btw

thanks and for awhile i was squatting really wide but mine is just a little wider than shoulder width now.

Some good news today. I got paid from work/received my financial aid from school and had extra money from that stuff so I ordered 2 bottles of indigo3G, very excited to start using it. I chose to get overnight delivery too so that I can have it even sooner, hoping it comes tomorrow.
