Today is friday and the body knows it. It was time to deadlift and from being a weak point, now its almost decent.
Deadlift
3x110kg
3x120kg
AMRAPx135kg I got 9 (does it count as cardio?)
Squat
5x10 75kg
Abs wheel
5x10
I spent something like 15 minutes stretching and foam rolling at the end and it made me feel flexible again. Tomorrow is supposed to be rest day but Im going to do some light biceps/triceps and maybe a barbell complex
I’ve also started 5/3/1 and have just finished my first cycle of this and it seems to be going great but just not a big fan of doing squats and bench heavy once a week, how often do you try and max out on your lifts?
I havent maxed out since I started 5/3/1 but because I dont think its necessary. Gains will come slowly so I dont really want to end a cycle and test my RM. The only thing that can help to feel strong is the AMRAP set
In my opinion, if you want strenght gains, this template is amazing but if your objective is hypertrophy a change might be good. I also felt that volume was low but later you’ll be so tired that you wont want more volume hahah.
Even if you still feel that is low, you can add some exercises to improve your weak links
Today were the 5/3/1 deadlifting sets even if its deload. At first I didnt feel comfortable but later it was better.
Deadlift
5x115kg
3x125kg
AMRAPx140kg I got 7 but maybe I had 1 more in the tank
Sorry for not being active this week but deload week has me drained. As weight is lighter than other weeks, it doesnt feel the same. However here is yesterday’s workout
Im keeping the kcals the same and Im getting good sleep to make sure my body relaxes and it restored for the next 6 weeks because Im not going to have any mercy
