A week after pulling 405x5x3, I was not able to replicate the same feat of strength. Admittedly, I went back to my normal max effort training for ham strings on Monday and front squats for today. Instead of scaling back the weight to save my legs and back for deadlifts, I continued with my progression.

I was only able to pull 405 for 5 singles. Went down to 315 for two sets of 5.  Really focused on the pulling motion, keeping the bar touching my body, and slow descent to floor. Still made a bit of a bang when putting the weight onto the ground.

Front Squat: 215x5x3

Deadlift: 405x1x5, 315x5x2

One Leg Hamstring Curl: 50x5x4

Toes to Bar (strict): 5×4 (I’m getting lazier at doing ab work)
