Hey I am glad to see someone else on here keeping a 5/3/1 log. One piece of advice. Misses take a lot out of you and I think it is a better idea to stop with the last grinder on this program than to be missing a lot. Obviously misses happen, but I really think on this program it should be rare.
Best of luck with the program, I am loving it as well! |

Thanks for the note; glad to hear you're loving the program as well!
I am not sure about the 'misses'. This cycle I've switched from 3 to 4 days a week; that could be it - the increased frequency. I am also on vacation these two weeks and doing more physical labor ('honey do' list) than my normal desk job. Since I only have one more week (the 5/3/1) I'll ride this cycle out - probably go back to the 3/week cycle and just do some conditioning work on the fourth day.

I always get a good pump doing this, some times I throw in push ups too for a 3rd exercise. Any way, youre training hard, keep it up.

Thanks! I find the super sets kill 2 birds/1 stone: - added conditioning at the end of the work out & gets me out of the gym faster :-)

2nd Cycle: Deload Squat Day 7/11/9
warm up = swings/stretches/jump rope
Squat
40/50/60% = 135x5;165x5;200x5 ( on parallel box)
RDL
2x5@200 (lazy, kept the weight on the bar from last squat set - deload week/going easy)
Hanging Leg Raises
set of 8; then 3 more (deload week/lazy)
Some running (key word is 'some' - after all this is a deload week!):
4x40(:35 rest)/3x110(1:00) rest
25 minutes walking w/wife and baby!
*I did a few deadlifts to show a 14 y/o who asked me for assistance - nothing strenuous. Happy to see he takes his lifting seriously and asks for help!
I did a few 'ghetto' GHRs on the pulldown machine to test the waters and see if I can add the next cycle.
That's about it - back at 3x5 on Tuesday for my 3rd cycle of Wendler's 5/3/1! |

It is always good to take time and help younger lifters. I got a lot of help when I was just starting out in high school and I always try to pass it on whenever I can. Great job helping out someone new.
I am coming off my deload week as well and am getting back to the heavy stuff on Tuesday. Good luck, keep killin it! |

Wendler 3rd Cycle: Squat 3x5 (Tuesday 7/21/9)
jump rope and stretch
Squat
warm up = 135;185x5
work sets = 225x5;255x5;285x5
1x10@215
1x10@205
Seated Leg Curl
3x10
Dips
2x12
At home:
Front Squat
2x10@117
Abs
50 reps of ab work.
* earlier workout than normal due to work schedule; different gym; different pre-WO meal( clam chowder and key lime pie - not great pre-WO)
got my reps in on the 3x5; live to fight another day. Thinking of 5x10 squat on DL day and 5x10DL on Squat day (since I only get to squat only once every ten days on a three days a week schedule.) It seems that I need to squat more frequently than this to stay in the groove and get strong. Who knows...
I ran intervals yesterday - Standford's football team's conditioning test:
6x:10(>65 yards)/:25 rest
1:00 rest
4x120(40 yards)(<:25)/:25-30 rest ( only supposed to get :15 rest I can't do this!)
2:00 rest
6x:07 (<45 yards)/:25 rest
1:00
300 yard shuttle (<:73) I got <:76
THIS IS a KILLER TEST! |

Thanks. I'm grinding through the BBB assistance work this cycle. We'll see what happens and how this 38 y/o body handles it.
Best Wishes! |
