Worked with my friend a bit more as well, getting him ready to start 5/3/1. Today we worked on his 1RM for deadlifts and bench. He didn’t have much confidence starting out with deads, but as we progressed through warm ups and into his heavier weights his confidence picked up and he made some great lifts. I had him adding smaller weights to the end which seemed to not intimidate him. (yes, this was on purpose) Once he made his last lift I let him know he actually pulled 315. Should have seen how excited he was. This was much higher than he thought he could do originally, but as he went through his lifts, I knew it would be a safe lift for him. Great to see him happy about his deads. Now to work on his flexability.
