Do them daily and you'll flourish. My buddy could barely do a set. He did the 1000 in a month with me and was hitting sets of 10 after the first week.

Thanks fam. Yup got much bigger. Part of it coming from doing some pulldowns and rows at work while I'm supposed to be doing other stuff. So I'm basically doing back twice a week

I talked about it a few times when I did it in May. Just decided I wanted to hit 1000 in a month and went for it. I do mine strict to dead hang each rep. Challenging, but 100% doable. It's much easier if you have a bar at home because even if you take off you can you don't have to fall behind.

Nice, in a perfect world I do back twice too. One is deadlifts and good mornings or whatever lower back stuff and the other is rows and upper back things.

Tough guy crew checking in.
I'm not a huge fan of the Retcons, I barely ever use mine.
I'm tired of squatting heavy bros, I been *****ing out on them lately and not hitting them as hard as I used to. I gotta get my mojo back.

Do you think it has to do with you cutting?

Ehhh maybe slightly but the main reason is just mental, I kind of lost my love for it, plus the rack/bar set up at the Golds I go to is awful.

Ohh okay. I can see it getting old after years of it. I've only been squatting for 4 months and it's by far my favorite lift.

You got any PL gyms near you?
I remember watching vids of you squatting 5+ plates on the most trash racks I seen.
Feel like with better conditions of course you would be motivated to train it more + go even heavier.
While I have a lot of complaints about my gym, the power rack is solid.
I had some mental things with squatting too, mostly because it just frustrated me from a gains perspective.
But I mean as long as you squatting once a week just to maintain your strength during the cut, it's cool to cut back and ramp back up when you decide to start reverse dieting.

My problem man.....I did deadlifts the other night and I had no drive to do anything heavy. I've been having some back issues and it has gotten tolerable, but I just have no drive to do it any more. This has literally been the first time in like 5 years I just kinda feel over the heavy lifting.....
Lol I only used the shoes from you like 2-3 times...

Can't co sign this.
Unless you're injured, there's never a reason not to deadlift.
Pressure on your lower back? Are you wearing a belt?
If so, you may have to tweak your form because your lower back should be getting stronger after DL workouts.
As for the rest of your workout suffering, I think that's more a mental thing and not your CNS.
It really takes a lot to totally tax it especially if you train consistently, people really overestimate how hard they're training.
That's why the whole topic of overtraining is a little ridiculous unless you're in a severe caloric deficit or an elite athlete.
