60 second rest intervals are very humbling.
Nice work.
Thanks FB!

I laid off the walking lunges tonight as my knees were sore from the last session. I need to pay more attention to my form. I am doing cable crunches first before my squats and I like how they warm me up. That’s a keeper.

Good session today. Increased my pressing a bit to get more volume in there. Hoping this all translates to a bigger bench.

Nice work
I am impressed with the paused squats- and the short rests.
Those cable crunches are a good idea for warm-up.
Thanks Kev. You should try them out as part of 5 3 1. In fact I bet you could do them after your main 5 3 1 lift. If I were to ever do 5 3 1 and do the BBB version that’s what I would do.
GV - yeah, I’m a fan now that I started doing them to warm up. They really seem to help prepare my body for what’s to come. I got the idea from the Juggernaut training manual.

I’m doing another wave of the 10*3 to get more volume in. I was only supposed to do 9 sets of front squats but decided to just get it over with and do 10. I’ll up the weight next session.
As I was training the guy next to me was literally doing all the same lifts that I was so we struck up a conversation. Turns out he just did a bodybuilding show and was not looking to to a powerlifting meet. He was thinking about the USPA meet in Sept up in Long Beach. He was doing 5/3/1 for the record. It was nice to talk to someone intelligently about programs for a change.

For some reason I read face pulls as “face” pulls for the first time. Like gurning. I’ve typed that word countless times myself and never made that connection.
Video to illustrate point.
This is how we spend our weekends in the UK.

FB - they’ve been doing this since 1279? Jeebus, you think they would have found a better hobby since books and TV were invented.

That’s how I look after accidentally smelling my boots when I’m banging them out after work.

My bad idea was to do some sets of 5 set before my working sets of 3. That’s about 50 reps above the 60 percent range. I did the front squats to the box for a change of pace and because I was exhausted. I actually like these but am not sure what kind of carryover I’ll get.

Traveling for work this week but found a decent enough gym.
I’m feeling really athletic lately and I think it’s a combination of dropping wheat out of my diet and the high volume I’m doing.
I am becoming a big fan of high volume myself, particularly for squats.
I wouldn’t say I’m a fan Joe…

Deads went well. According to Juggernaut I’m supposed to leave a couple in the tank which I did. Barely. I’m adding in leg curls in sets of 10 adding weight until I can’t do 10.

With all that tri work you have to be looking at bench numbers going up.
I sincerely hope so…lol.
