Forgive me father, for I have sinned


Well I don't think round-backing your deadlifts is a great idea, but as far as maxing out at a high frequency goes, power to ya. World class Olympic weightlifters do, what, 6 hours a day, 6 days a week of 80%+, right? If they do it, it can be done. Probably something to work up to, but hardly impossible. I almost always train for 2-3 hours at a time. A 45 min workout is 5x5 squats for me, and nothing more. I couldn't possibly stick to those 30-60min workouts that the internet says are great and feel remotely productive, unless it's a recovery day or a conditioning workout.
 

I wanted to go back onto sheiko, but internet experts told me I was wrong and that I should do 5/3/1 or a "beginner" routine and make no progress
 

Nice work man, I know the bulgarians, chinese and south american weightlifters all max out 6-7 days a week, often doing 13 max weight squat workouts a week lol. The key is to keep the weights around a 9 on the perceived exertion scale so not so much that if a fly landed on the bar you'd miss but you shouldn't be able to do 3 reps

have you tried these programs? and for how long? (sorry if u have already mentioned this, cbf looking back)
 
i wonder if Shorty's log is still on here or maybe its on NS.com perfect example of why "beginner" routines work when stuck to
 

FFS Oni!
YOU ARE NOT A TOP LEVEL CHINESE, BULGARIAN, OR STH AMERICAN WEIGHTLIFTER.

YOU ARE A BEGINNER WITH THE BUILD OF A 50KG FEMALE.

Do a sensible program and eat some fucking food, Its not that hard.
Maybe it is for you now, seeing you have already done a Anadrol and Dbol only cycle lol.

**Move to comedy section**
Signed sticky.
 
There's a comedy section? When did that happen?

I agree with the others though? 0ni grow some balls and eat some food.
 
This sounds like a very bad idea...

"yeah im going to round-back my deadlifts"

and then

"I'll probably start maxing out deadlifts daily as well, as soon as I am used to daily squat maxes"

Have fun living the rest of your life un-able to pick up a 10kg plate because your spine is so fucked up.

Yeah I did Starting Strength for a month but kept on stalling and 5/3/1 for 3 months but wasn't really getting the progress I wanted (frequency of lifts was probably too low). When I moved onto an intermediate routine (madcow) I started seeing some decent gains. I think full body routines are definitely the way forwards for me. Recently after a few months doing 5x5 I've started to increase the volume on monday to 5x5 across instead of ramped and find progress to be even better

You're round-backing your deadlift in your avatar lol. Round-backing is fine, what matters is power in the spine, as long as your spine doesn't move there isn't a problem
