I will be doing 5/3/1 pyramid the pausing down sets on bench and squat. I also want to try to add cardio/conditioning at the end of most training sessions. The 350 method in from Paul Carter and is simply try to get 50 total reps in 3 sets then increase weight. The ā€œPlate, Quarterā€ is I think from Dan John maybe? It was an article I cannot remember on t-nation. Anyways it is 45 x 10, 135 x 10, 185 x 10, 225 x 10, … Stop when you can no longer do 10 reps.

Cycle 10: Beyond 531 1.1

Bench TM = 235
Squat TM = 305
Press TM = 155
Deadlift TM = 345

I am switching middle cycle to Beyond 531. I am not switching becauses of training ADD. I am switching because I have been struggling to get my workouts in.

The gym I go to has only 2 squat racks :frowning: and on squat day if a cannot get on a squat rack for 20 minutes my training session is pretty much shot. I typically only have 45min - 60min in the weight room before class or work. Going to a full body routine allows my to bench first if squat racks are taken. I have been basically doing Beyond last week because of not being able to get on a squat rack, so I figure I should just do that program anyways.
