Well I mean I did 135 to 275 in 10lb increments with a few bigger jumps so that's like 10 + sets so 5 reps of that is kinda tiresome lol

I'm not exhausted but when I do heavy 5's and amraps I have to stop due to exhaust than strength.

Today and yesterday I worked on finding my 1RM on the 4 lifts for the 5/3/1 BBB program. So basically 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 on Bench, Squat, Press, and Deadlift. For a middle aged man with a few injuries from the military I'm proud of myself. My numbers are
Bench 245
Squat 330
Press 160
Deadlift 415

I need some work on the bench but overall being able to lift 1150# in those lifts I didn't think was to bad. It's been a good 2 days.

ya i was mainly talking to Hulk, doing 2 sets of 5 then a 3rd with as many as possible.

for me if I have the strength, then im pushing through. Especially just doing 5 reps, it's pretty hard to get exhausted from that. I think saying you are exhausted is an excuse that you dont have the strength(not you, just saying in general).

i think it would be beneficial to know your 1 rep max to get the most out of any lifting program. I assume like any other program they are giving you a % to work off of?
