A Strong Squat, Brutal Bench Press, Dauntless Deadlift, and Massive Military press are as easy as 5/3/1

For the record, this guy sits behind me in class and I didn’t think it was aquacruzer because I expected someone smaller. He is a VERY large 208.

That is all.

5/3/1, 5 Week, Day 3
Wednesday 4/20/11

Push press
somexsomex95
5x115
5x135
7x155 (this set wasn’t too bad, I just need to get more accustomed to higher rep push pressing)

Military press
5x95
5x115
5x5x135

Pull ups
A bunch staggered w/ pressing

DB rows
2x10x80
3x10x100

EDIT: also played around w/ the bar, just to work on getting my shoulders more accustomed to the low bar squatting position.

Happy with how today’s session went considering the fact I was feeling tired going into it. Pressing went fine, as did the rowing. I just need to make sure I keep my chest up and back arched while rowing, otherwise I get a mad lower back pump.

Pretty solid Military Pressing. I haven’t done Barbell Pressing in forever, I have no idea what weights I would even do now. Pretty decent DB rowing as well AC.

Thanks :slight_smile: I’m sure when you come around to it you’ll be putting up some nice poundage.

Meh, my rowing is weak sauce. I really need to work on my pulling strength in general.

I’m the opposite. I’m way better at pulls than pushes, though I’m trying to fix that. Meh. lol.

Do the rows in front of a mirror and tell yourself how hot you are so you can keep your head up/back arched.
Cuz that’s what everyone does, amirite?
