Note: A little hungover from my birthday celebration last night so felt terrible but got my work in. They guy who owns the strongman stuff took one of the axles home so I only had one I have never used before. Don’t know the weight but it felt heavier than 25lbs so I went with 35lb for my calcs.

Notes: I think I am going to stick to 5x10 FSL for a while. I am backing off the weights after this cycle and I am too stubborn to eat less food at this point so I am just going to work more. Felt okay on the shoulders though I may switch to inclines here in the future.

My training cycle ended and I was thinking about what I would do for the next one. I was going to eat less food and try to cut down on the fat a bit, but it ain’t going well and I think I am just going to eat the same and work with a little more volume. See if I recover okay or not.

Plan is
Cycle 1-2
Jumps/throws 15
5/3/1 PR, 5x10 FSL
Assistance 50 reps each movement

Cycle 3
Jumpts/Throws 15
5/3/1 Jokers, 5x5 FSL
Assistance 100 reps each movement

Movements:
Axle Press
SSB Squats
Deadlifts (Deadlift Bar)
Bench

Assistance:
Upper body - Chins on OHP day/Rows on Bench Day, Dips, Band pull aparts,Bicep Curls
Lower Body - GHR, Reverse Hypers, Abs

3 days of conditioning: Prowler work on lower body days, Strongman work on Saturdays
