Press
50 x 3
58 x 3
57.5 x 5 Hit this for 8 last week with some scuffed reps on my 1+ week last cycle, felt weaker as I just ate before training and was wearing shoes for press which I don’t like

Chins
Did 20 total between sets of press and DB work

Hitting 20 total chins is a PR for me in volume, been doing a couple every time I go up the stairs on off days, starting to work my way up to hitting multiple in a row rather than just sets of singles resetting.

This was awful

Deadlift
125 x 3
140 x 3
155 x 3

Figured out what is wrong with my deadlift, been recording every max set and took me this long to realise. Where I’ve been putting the weight down has sunk a good inch on both sides, right side is significantly lower also into a big divot. So I’ve been straining down in an unnatural position in a deficit with the right side lower. Might just restart deadlift cycle with trap bar and level my platform with sand underneath the divots to fix. Will see

RDL
60 x 4 x 10

Chins

5 x 3

If I can fix my deadlift set up so I’m not deficit offside lifting I’m progressing well

Good session, squat is feeling very strong and the belt sled drags are great, felt it in glutes, hamstrings and calves a very good amount. No compression on spine and it is good single leg work which is something I can’t really do

Added some mats in my deadlift holes so now the bar is level when lifting

Deadlift
130 x 5
147.5 x 3
162 x 5 These first 4 felt pretty good, last rep slightly hitched up since my hips didn’t come through and legs straightened first. Going to add in some hipthrusts next cycle and get in some more technique work with the bar actually being straight which will help.

Only downside with training outside is if it rains I can’t do squat or bench. Have one more squat session that keeps getting delayed with the lovely UK weather so going to fit it in mid-deload. Did some cardio and BW work instead

Going to write up some notes for myself since I’m basically at the end of my 4th 5/3/1 cycle

  • Deads have been my worst lift since coming back, levelling my platform tomorrow but will keep my TM and 5kg progression the same since I can still hit the 5 reps with no AMRAP on the 1+ week. Going to be swapping out RDL’s for hip thrusts and deadlift rows. Going to be adding in more ab work variation also.
  • Bench is moving smooth, going to be swapping out DB work for pushups since I’m getting too strong for my 25kg pair of DB’s. Once I can hit 5 x 20 easily on pushups I’ll cycle something more challenging in, avoiding Incline however. Saw @T3hPwnisher getting a nice plateloaded DB pair which would be useful for Kroc rows, DB bench and possibly farmers walk conditioning since I have no handles.
  • Press is moving well which is surprising, going to see if I can hit 72.5 for 5 on the 1+ week next cycle. DB work on these is fine, might start doing them standing to work on stability rather than relying on the bench.
  • Squat, also moving well, going to up the total volume on SSB
  • Chins, hitting 30 total today was a PR. Going to aim for hitting these 3 times a week. Press day going for total reps, on deadlift day slow negatives possibly weighted. Bench day volume chins again
  • Barbell Row, been following this on the same weight progression as bench.Going well, need to make sure I have a break day after deadlifting though so I don’t need to rest pause the max weight.
  • Conditioning, progressing well here, loving sled work on lower days and tabata boxing with a heavy and light bag is good. Filled up my keg so can do carries with that also
  • Cardio, still building work capacity, need to keep hitting this several times a week. Also wanting to get rogue echo bike

Forget to mention but also down 5kgs, probably going to rename the log also.
