(HELL YEAH! 265 on squat... i know the warmup for squat isnt consistent, but i had no idea i would be moving so much)
skipped leg EDT block as i was exhausted after bench + squat, more so from the bench....
question rob, do you think its safe to sat 183lb bench is my 3rm max there, considering the reps done prior to pushing out 2?

regarding GLP 1, i will be doing a solid workout and i will be including rack pulls.
im going to try throw in rack pulls almost every week (or 2) depending on how my body feels.
what im currently doing is, i work 12 hour shifts in blocks (monday tuesday wednesday) and i have started not working out on days i work (seeing a LOT better gains) so my workout before i start work (either sunday or monday) i will do the rack pulls, allowing for a full 3-4 days rest prior to resuming another workout.
thoughts?
heres a sample of my workouts:
upper=
bench (as per loading pattern)
DB pullover x 8 (stretches)
EDT sets
incline DB presses s/s with
dumbell rows
EDT set 2:
DB Hammer curls s/s with
skull crushers
decline barbell static holds 5-10 seconds x 2
lower:
squat (as per loading pattern)
SLDL x 8 (stretches)
EDT sets
romanian deadlifts s/s with
DB lunges
ab workout followed by abdominal static hold 10s x2

One comment on Rack Pulls..
They are VERY taxing given the amount of weight you can hoist. DEFINATELY not something you want to attempt every week. Maybe every other or even every 3rd week.
Please be mindful of that. You will be surprised just how much faster you can progress on a schedule like that.

alright man noted, only thing is my rack pulls will be limited to a certain weights (workout at home ill run out! lol)
i think i can do max 300lbs... (for now)
done my first static holds today, quiet enjoyed them! only thing is without a spot i have trouble getting the weight up, so i done the hold a little longer, is that cool?

hey rob just a question mate (or a couple)...
am i supposed to keep DB pullover and SLDL in the GLP1? or take them out?
A. You can keep them in, but only AFTER you've completed your GLP sets.
also wondering if there is any point in the GLP you could throw in pull ups/chin ups?
A. Not really, GLP is predicated on barbell lifts. You CAN incorporate them as part of EDT blocks though.
and a final one, for GLP im supposed to do it like this hey:
upper day
rest
lower day
rest
Yeah? not upper, lower then rest?
A. You've got it right. Insert extra rest days as needed.
