3 months behind me and today wast test day. Squattings went up 10kg, bench 7,5kg. Probably had more in the tank but both last lifts didn't feel "right" so I stopped there. For deads I followed Clint Smith's 10 week program he posted @ EFS over a year ago or something like that. But that went up 20kg, I pulled the whole cycle sumo and today conventional. Seemed to work alright. Now the question is should I base the next %'s on the conventional max or sumo max? Sumo is probably around 10-15kg less.
One thing I noticed during squats was that I was nervous with the last 3 lifts when it got above 100%. And benching just amplified this feeling. Lack of confidence or something like that and more than likely coming from not going even near 90+%. I guess this can be fixed with singles as long as the total number of reps for the day doesn't exceed?
Overall very happy with the results. Now that I know how this goes I can experiment and modify a bit more.
