Ah, college. Back when me and my friends thought we were all busy and didn’t have time for anything, but in reality, we just had a lot of other extracurricular stuff we were doing. Haha.
But seriously though, just enjoy school. Just manage your time well.
I’ve had the opposite problem- too much time 
I’m actually getting paranoid that my luck will run out
@khert0202 Best piece of advice
ye lots of other things too
Dude, if you ever have questions about classes, college apps or HS life stuff, feel free to ask me. I just graduated in May, so the experience is pretty fresh
I’m not an expert by any means, but my mom owns a college consulting/test prep company that I interned at for the past 2 summers. I also edited all my friend’s college essays if that helps!
It’s never a bad idea to start early
Lmao that’s why t nation is awesome- get to talk about health and lfting
but also can get advice on life and other important things
ill definitly ask you for help in the future
Yep, I’ve gotten incredible relationship and personal finance advice
I will admit, I have a bit of a soft spot for teens engaging in athletic endeavours and committing to them; I was a martial arts coach for almost 10 years for mainly kids/youth, and watching students progress is so damn awesome.
I don’t have nearly the same depth of weight training knowledge that lots of the other people do on here, but I’m excited to see how you progress, @khert0202!
Thanks for tagging along on the ride @kdjohn !!
Well i will be interested in seeing your progress.
Yessirrr
First Day of 5/3/1 in the books!
Felt surprisingly easy but that is how the program is suppose to start so I am not going to rush anything. Squat weight that I based maxes of was 270, or 90% of 300. Decided all assistance work would be leg or ab related on squat day. And all the percentages were rounded up to the next 5 pounds. 5x10 of squats or the BBB work was only 60% of max but will increase that percentage every few weeks.I am questioning if I should push the last set of the regular 5/3/1 to failure or just do the prescribed reps and move on? Any opinion would be helpful.
Anyways here was the workout:
Squat warm up: 1x5 at 125 1x5 at 145 1x3 at 165
Squat Work sets 1x5 at 205 1x5 at 220 1x5 at 230
BBB Squat Work: 5x10 at 165
Other Assistance Work: Dumbbell Romanian Dead lift 4x10
Single Leg Extensions 1x20 1x18 1x15 each leg- hold top squeeze on last rep of each set
Hanging Leg Raises with 8lb weight 5x10
Solid workout all together, took around an hour, and I ready for the next day already
And another question I had: Am I supposed to do the BBB sets for squat on a squat day of 5/3/1 or do BBB for deadlift on a squat day, OHP BBB on bench 5/3/1 day, squat BBB on deadlift 5/3/1 day etc.?
Both are options. I think the one where you do both upper or lower body lifts in a session is called the ‘less boring’ option. You can also run your bbb sets at fsl weights like with beefcake but it requires a lower tm.
Ill think ill just stick with this method then if there is nothing wrong with it
This might be helpfull if you want to do BBB: Boring But Big
This should help as well. Not sure if it was already given to you, so I’ll just drop this here same way some members gave it to me when I started here
You seem to be doing everything right so far, I’m really interested to see how this goes.
I’ll look at it, thanks
I’ll make sure to read this article too thanks @whang
Today again felt pretty light on my first few sets, so I decided to push the last set a rep or two from failure on my 5/3/1 sets.
Was feeling good and got a little carried away with the accessory work…
Gonna cut back on that for next week, overall another good session though
Bench warm up 65x5 85x5 100x3
Bench week 1 sets 120x5 130x5 135x8
