Doing Dumb Stuff as a College Kid

531 C2W2D3

Time: 27 min

OHP: 110x5, 125x5, 140x6
DL: 280x5, 320x5, 355x6

Notes:

  • Long weekend had to have a shorter lift so I could go to the grocery store
  • Got some runs in this weekend (2). Just set a 30 min timer and ran (at any pace). Didn’t have my smart watch and didn’t bring my phone for them
  • I can’t lie. The bastardization of the OG 531 challenge and I’m not doing jackshit worked well for this 2 week cycle. I wound up dropping my really hard class to retake it next semester so I’ll have more after this deload to get back to a harder template
  • Lastly I find the PR sets to be so motivating week to week so something like hardgainers is look appealing
  • typing this out on my phone was a nightmare

Conditioning:

Run: 1 mile- 9:26

Notes:

  • This pace was very sustainable
  • I’ve been intermittent fasting the last 2 days because they are doing work to the power lines around the house so I don’t have power from like 9-3. It actually feels pretty good and is a nice break from food

Yup. Letting the digestive tract have a chance to rest really goes a long way.

I got 50 pushups, pullups, and 80lb KB swings done in the AM

OHP: 110x3, 125x3, 140x1, 150x1
DL: 275x3, 315x3, 345x1, 380x1 (that was fast!)

Notes:

  • I’ve honestly been toying with running the “Year of 5/3/1” challenges from beyond but I think I like variations too much for that
