Back in the Gym: I omitted standard dead-lifts to avoid further back tweaking (subbed curls, romanian dead lifts w/ light weight and the groin machine) and concentrated on 5/5 ratio of lifts. The results of this focus were mixed. Take for instance the weight that will bring my quads to absolute failure in the 8-12 rep range on the leg press sled is currently 3 x 45lbs plates + 1 25 lbs plate on each side. Its difficult to drag the negative motion (down) out to a five count. Its next-to impossible for me to drag the push out that long. Like Brian said, the 3/3 ratio is a more accurate description the reality of my lifts. The problem I found as I tried to focus on the 5/5 is that if I dropped the weight to a point where I could do it properly, I didn't get as close to exhaustion.
