HonestIago's Wendler 5/3/1 Log

Went to my local gym at home today and realised just how shit it is compared to what I’m used to at uni.

Just did some accessory work:

DB rows 40kgx26

DB Bench 34kg 3x8

Standing BB curls 35kg 5x10

Then messed around with leg press, skullcrushers, preachers etc doing nothing in particular.

Particularly poor session, if I can be arsed later I might head outside and do some sprints or something.

Deadlift Day

(warmup)
60kgx5
80kgx5
90kgx3

(working)
117.5kgx5
135kgx3
150kgx1

Coudn’t be arsed with high reps today so went for some maxes:

165kgx1
182.5kgx1
190kgx1
195kgx1
200kgxFail

Accessory Work:

BOR 75kg 3x8

Standing BB curls 35kg 5x10

Weight on gym scales: a rather rotund 93.5kg

Here’s a vid of my 195kg dead:

Shoulder Press Day

(warmup)
25kgx5
30kgx5
35kgx3

(working)
45kgx5
52.5kgx3
57.5kgx9

Accessory Work:

Wide/medium grip pullups and medium/narrow chins x50

C/grip bench 60kgx10, 70kgx10,10

Didn’t do dips because the dip station was mobbed with halfwits.

Squat Day

Worst session in a while, lower back was playing up from the first set but I stupidly continued.

(warmup)
50kgx5
60kgx5
80kgx3

(working)
97.5kgx5
110kgx3
122.5kgx2 (was in substantial discomfort and failed on rep 3)

Tried the leg press but felt pain in my lower back so stopped. I’m wondering if this pain has anything to do with heavy deads on Monday…I suspect so.

Did 20mins cycling.

I’ve just got bench day on Saturday then I’m into de-load week so I’m hoping I’ll recover in time for Cycle 3. Meanwhile I need to cut the carbs and get my weight down as my recently fattened mid section is depressing me!

Weight: 93.1kg

20 mins cycling…>HATED EVERY FUCKING SECOND OF IT???

Haha! I hear he’s quite the bad-ass…

hmm is it me or did your arms flex when you were on your way to lockout, something that isn’t recommended? impressive weight though.

I know I was quite surprised! I didn’t answer as I don’t know if what he is saying is true or not, also I’ve had it with keeping a log on here until I actually have some numbers to shout about!
