Deadlifting new repetition PR 9 x 145 kg and 5/3/1 progress report

I mentioned in one of my previous posts that I've started doing 5/3/1 program.

I'm seeing some great progress. I'm breaking all sorts of records. Mostly repetition PR's but I think I will start breaking 1RM MAX records soon.

Still have a lot to learn about using proper form. Here is the video of my second cycle of 5/3/1 1+.
Great workout for the last day of 2012!


As you can see the 1st lift was WAY off. The bar should have been above my feet. Well it was not. I really have to pay attention to this otherwise I risk injuring my back and I really do not want that.

Also I have to start pushing my hips forward sooner. So I have been told.

Estimated 1RM.

As you can see from the image above the progress is steady. There are some drops in weight on some days which can be attributed to bad daily form, not being rested enough or just a lousy day.  I'm making the biggest gains on deadlift. I am slowly knocking on 200kg club doors. At least formulas say so. In reality it is probably still quite far away.

My weight is ranging from 79,5 - 80,5 kg at the moment which is probably due to antibiotics I have been taking for my ear infection. I had two weeks of from gym. I adjusted my macros accordingly. Dropped them by 500-700kcal (I previously maintained 78,4kg @ 2500kcal). Still managed to gain too much unwanted weight though. I will have to make a mini cut. Two weeks should be enough to get me to back 78-79 kg range.
