5s PRO, 5x5 FSL - c5w3 - summary
Another 1s week in the books. It went well, and once again I was pretty focused on the WMs such that the regular lifts were almost an afterthought. Well, except for deadlifting. That top set at 290 did feel pretty heavy. But 305x3 during the WM warm-up yesterday morning wasn’t any worse, so that’s good.
Hit all of my goals this week, even if I fell short by 2 reps on each of the press WM sets (at 70% and 75%) and 1 rep on the heavier of bench WMs (the one at 75%). The deload and then more work in the early part of the anchor cycle should help me be prepared for those next time around. I ate well this week too, and I didn’t overdo it at my nephew’s birthday party yesterday.
I’m happy to have celebrated some success this cycle, but as @boilerman said:
can’t dwell on any of it though- there’s more work to be done.
I’m moving into 7th Week Protocol, Deload this week. Looking forward to a lower-volume week, and it should help me realize some gains from the last three weeks before moving into the 5/3/1 & Widowmakers anchor cycle.
My goals for the deload are:
- Complete all 4 lifting workouts
- Complete 3 days of easy conditioning
- Do 50 burpees + swings every day
- Eat right
Alright, I think that’s it. Onward and upward—there’s more work to be done!
