5/3/1 & The journey to 115kg

Training Logs
1

115kg body weight that is! Ok, back from a summer of losing weight as I’d never went down before, only up. Went from 106 to 96kg on a vanity quest but need to get back up for rugby.

Plan is to use the 5/3/1 2nd Edition Full Body Routine along with Jims advice on eating. I’ve done all the macro counting for my own plans before but I find I get bored when I need to think about it so much. It’s worked for others I have written plans for but I’d rather keep it simple.

Weight - 101kg
Height - 180cm
Squat - 370lbs
Deadlift - 410
Bench - 310
Push Press - 275

Have recurring knee problems but they felt ok today. Seems whenever I’m ontop of my foam rolling the squats are fine.

Week 2 Day 1:

Body’s sore after first game of the season at the weekend. Some shoulder issues as I think I may have strained my rear delt.

DB Bench - 72 x 10 / 72 x 10 / 72 x 10
Skipped DB rows as it was hurting my shoulder. Done some light face pulls to get the blood going around the area.
