If you really want to feel bad at yourself, Anna was born probably about 10 years after the lava scene from that movie.

So Iāve been on point with training and making progress then some kid decided to pull out in front of me out of a Popeyes parking lot. I have a sprained ankle, left forewarn lacerations but mostly a really bad jammed left wrist/thumb. No fx. I got off easy but itās going to hinder my lifting. My blood pressure also bottomed out right after the accident and I almost passed out
Iām having an mri tomorrow to make sure I donāt have any bad soft tissue damage.
Fast food is bad for you, proof positive.

Yeah his chicken was scattered all on the road. The paramedic said he was about to eat when we called him out. He said he was thinking grabbing that chicken up off the road.
Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I have an ongoing experiment that I donāt want to abandon because of the calendar so Iāll join in a little late.
Your plan can be to follow that experiment until it runs its course, then move onto āthe next thingā coughā¦ Deep Water coughā¦

I think Iāve formulated my plan.
Iām right in the middle of my first cycle of Advanced 5/3/1 and I donāt intend to change anything.
Current goals:
- increase upper body muscle
- increase OHP
- maintain deadlift
- increase power clean (getting back to my old level of power)
- improve conditioning
This program hits all of those and allows for a bit of variety on the assistance.
Iām happy with my current weight but Iām treating myself too much. I donāt have a weight goal, but I know that gaining weight will boost my press. The problem with gaining weight is that it goes to my love handles first and I hate it.
@TrainForPain heres the meat of the program.
Week 1: 5x5 @ 75%
Week 2: 5x3 @ 85%
Week 3: 5x1 @ 95%
No PR sets or AMRAPS
Iām doing squat & power clean, Incline, deadlift, and OHP.
Optional work: 3x5 @ 75% on the alternate days. For me, thatās 3x5 squats and 3x5 cleans on deadlift day. 3x5 deads at the end of squat day. And with the hopes of growing, Iāve pushed that to 5x5 @ 75% of OHP on Incline day and vice versa.

One day to go guys, for anyone looking to join in. And 116 days to Christmas for anyone whoās counting.
My goals and plan are up in my Training Log for anyone who wants the detail, but essentially its 4 days a week, one for each main lift with a pre planned progression scheme.
Looks like a good set up J. Will be watching to see how you go. How will you determine success with the program ?

For physique - the scale, mirror, and tape measure.
For press - 1RM
For conditioning - if Iām still doing at least three sessions per week by the end of the year then itās a win. From a performance standpoint, the DT WOD is a pretty good measuring stick. Decreased time and/or doing it with the prescribed 155 lbs instead of 135 would be victories. I might also use the misery factor for steady state running. If it seems to suck less then Iāll consider myself improved.
