So with that revelation, his prescription was to “suck it up” until it heals in 3 - 6 weeks (I’m on week 2). I’m still a little weary (and in pain), but wanted to lift a little heavier than the standard <a href="http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/how_to_build_pure_strength" target="_blank">5/3/1</a> deload, especially since I don’t follow the <a href="http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/how_to_build_pure_strength" target="_blank">5/3/1</a> deadlift anyway. I did the following with success:</p> <p><strong>Deadlift</strong></p> <ol><li>135 x 5</li> <li>185 x 5</li> <li>225 x 5</li> <li>255 x 1</li> <li>300 x 1 (straps)</li> <li>185 x 5</li> </ol><p><strong>Hanging Leg Raises </strong></p> <ol><li>10 x</li> <li>10 x</li> <li>10 x</li> </ol><p>I usually do 5 sets of “good mornings”, but in the interest of still taking it easy, I didn’t.</p> <p>It all felt pretty good, except for my last set of leg raises. My form suffered a little and I could feel my neck tense as I lifted my legs towards the end. My PR for DL is still 315 and I pulled 300 today with ease, but I didn’t want to push it. Hopefully I’ll be 100% soon because you don’t join the <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=1000%20pound%20club" target="_blank">1000lb club</a> by deloading. </p>http://tumble.blitzstein.net/post/15367648017http://tumble.blitzstein.net/post/15367648017Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:37:00 -0500successtraining logfitness<p>Another deload day thanks to my neck injury. Today I’m doing 5/3/1 OHP with a 1RM calculation of 140lbs, which breaks down below. I’m also doing seated instead of standing as an added precaution until my doctor can figure out the core issue. I can work through the pain, but I just need to make sure I’m not making it worse first. </p> <p><strong>Prescribed</strong></p> <p>OHP:</p> <ol><li>5 × 55 [5] </li> <li>5 × 65 [10] </li> <li>5 × 80 [10,5,2.5] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10]</li> </ol><p>Chin-ups:</p> <ol><li>10 ×  </li> <li>10 ×  </li> <li>10 ×  </li> <li>10 ×  </li> <li>10 ×</li> </ol><p><strong>Actual</strong></p> <p>OHP:</p> <ol><li>5 × 55 [5] </li> <li>5 × 65 [10] </li> <li>5 × 80 [10,5,2.5] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10] </li> <li>10 × 65 [10]</li> </ol><p>Pull-ups:</p> <ol><li>10 ×  </li> <li>10 ×  </li> <li>10 ×  </li> <li><del>10 ×  </del></li> <li><del>10 ×  </del></li> </ol><p>I had to call it quits early on the pull ups, caused more pain than I was comfortable with right now.
