Very cool Protein. I enjoy reading posts from people who push limits and experiment with routines customized to fit your goals. Puke is a sign of weakness leaving your body---- to paraphrase something I saw awhile back. Knowing your own body is something we all should train for and your dedication is an inspiration.
A while ago I was doing a Crossfit routine which you may find interesting and a new challenge for you.
135lb deadlift 25 reps
run 1/4 mile
135 lb deadlift 20 reps
run 1/4 mile
135 lb deadlift 15 reps
run 1/4 mile
135 lb deadlift 10 reps
run 1/4 mile
Do this for time and beat your best the next time out.
Kick butt and brag about it.

STARTED A RUSSIAN MESOCYCLE FOR SQUATS. 1 MONTH PROGRESS WILL BE TRACKED
FULL OLY SQUATS
210X4X9
not difficult
BENT OVER ROWS
3X3 @ 170
PAIRED WITH
OPPOSITE GRIP BENT OVER ROWS
2X10 @ 135
i did wave loading with bent rows today. started with a heavy set of 3, then a lighter set of 10 with opposite grip. then 3, then 10. then 3.
a wrestler's off season journal:
i never tried this, and i got huge strength gains from 20 rep squats.
so i decided to be a sort of scientist and experiment with what i'l get with 20 rep deadlifts.
PARAMETERS:
-1 set of 20 rep deadlifts with a designated weight(below)
-deadlift 1-2 times a week
-squat 1 time a week
-add at least 5lbs each time i lift
-eat a ton
GOAL: to be able to deadlift my current 5RM 20 times by the end of the program
estimated 5RM: 325
I will test my 5RM the next time i deadlift.
DESIGNATED WEIGHT: 325-90= 235
-the 325 represents my current 5RM
-the 90 represents 18 workouts of adding 5lbs each(the progression)
SO i will start with 235 for 20 reps, overhand grip.
i will then work my way towards a big set of 20 with 325 lbs.
COMMENTS, CONCERNS, PREDICTIONS, and BETS ARE ALL WANTED AND APPRECIATED
Sounds brutal, your back should get pretty big however. Be sure to be safe about it, that's a LOT of reps.
deads 325x11
my ham/glute didn't get worse here, I had 10reps in my head and decided to hit 11, the area is almost 100% now.
squat- 236x16, 170x42, and 172.5x44
things are getting very interesting.
doing all this being just an average joe, working on feet 13-14hours a day, very little food (except dinnertime), and taking zero suplements in early 30's. I'm better now than when I was gung-ho dead serious.
dude thats awesome! thanks for dropping by! thats really good dude, how much do you weigh?
thats a lot of work everyday...13 hours? why little food?
God bless you man
down to 173 (from 190 over 2years ago) thanks to eating very little, 1-reason I don't eat much during the day I like being lean, the other is because I'm busy for 14hours of the day, just not much time, I used to stress years ago about eating on the clock, it'll never work out with my lifestyle.
I'll eat an apple here, handful of grapes there, it's all good, that stuff gives energy for hours.
