MAXIMUM STRENGTH by Eric Cressey

Phase 4: Peak
Week 16 - Low Volume
Lower Body One

Beginning Thoughts:

This is an update for Tuesday. I was in a great mood and thought I should max-out a week in advance...

Workout:

Deadlifts
155 x 3
225 x 2
255 x 2
315 x 1
335 x 1
355 x 1
405 x fail

Overall Impression:

Shitty workout. But, I maxed out too early. I'm gonna give this a shot again next week....

I think 50lbs was too big of a jump. Looks like you just got excited and jumped the gun.

Personally on deads I try to keep the jumps to 40lbs or less. Squats I prefer 20-30. And bench is 20lbs or less. Maybe other people see it differently.

This is for Wednesday. I know I just did a lower workout yesterday but since I only did deadlifts and a few reps at that, I decided to go in today.

235 lbs x 1 rep
245 lbs x 1 rep
255 lbs x 1 rep
265 lbs x 1 rep
I stopped at 265. I will have videos of all of these sets later tonight...

SSB Good Mornings
bar x 6
+20 lbs x 6 reps
+40 lbs x 6 reps
+50 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets

Cable Wood Chops
17.5 lbs x 12 reps
22.5 lbs x 12 reps
27.5 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets

Overall Impression:

Great workout. Anderson Squats were fucking awesome!!!

Looking forward to maxing next week...

Definitely, bro. I'm gonna try 385 next week. Even if I hit 385, thats a 20 lbs PR and over 16 weeks that equals to 1.25 lbs per week. So that is something to smile about

But, my goal is to nail 405 before Christmas.

Nice work Wolf! Anderson squats are really good, keep it going.

iron_worker · #**887** 10-02-2008, 01:34 PM

I think I would have just gone for the 20lb PR lol.

So how the hell is it that we DL pretty close to the same but you smoke me on squats? lol
