Thanks, and thanks for visiting the log. Since I only lift twice a week most of what posts is crazy stuff. I’m impressed that you could find my training in all of the noise.

(I was spec’ed for a double in my grand training plan, so 3 was cool.)

Thanks.

Next session I am going for a single or double at 540.

Two weeks later, depending on how that went, I will test a max which I hope to be no less than 560.

Best laid plans and all that…

Some basic PL math; triple is 90% of your max. 520x1.1= 572 lbs. and that’s assuming they are hard, which yours were not! You’re going to be nippin at the heels of 600 real damn soon!

Yeah, my figure is the projected single = weight lifted + ([0.03 x weight lifted] x reps).

I figured 4 solid reps were possible, a fifth really ugly one is possible but would not count.

So I calculated a 580 - 584 pull.

I don’t believe this so I figured no less than 560 depending on how I feel.

We’ll see.

I like your idea better. :slight_smile:
