Congrats!
Get some extra training in while you still can.
Squats are a never-ending battle. keep fighting.

Yipee, baby news is always good!! Congrats!
Babies all over the place around here. Good work Kevin. Very excited for you and your wife.
Congrats, Kevin. All the best to you and your misses and the little sock puppet to come.

Notes
I did something to my upper abs with the OH squats, on Monday.
Felt the same way the last time I did 185 , really felt them today.
The doms fairy was KILLING my hams today.
bench it all felt heavy, I really need to put the money exercise second
on bench and maybe squat days or add something first, or just get warmer
190 felt like 245 lame.
all the other stuff felt good.
kroc rows felt good too.
thanks for looking

I can really feel zercher squats in my abs on the initial lift off when I forward. Maybe you leaned forward just a little and had to use your abs to keep you upright. I’m even more impresses with the kroc rows since I just tried to do a normal sets of bent sngl arm rows the other day.
You know, my 5’s weeks have all felt like that, the 3’s get better and the 5-3-1 a lot better. Ride it out and see what happens.
regarding your benching disappointment, you are not used to rep work, I believe. Cut your percentage down another 10lbs. This is a process, not an event, don’t let your ego get in the way. If you look at my logs I had to do something similar with my inclines, which I do after DE bench. Now I am starting to get into money weight again, but crap, a while ago I was struggling for 225 x 5. For me that is pathetic.
thanks people,
Hel- kroc rows, are all the stuff I am stronger in, back, forearm, grip, and cheating
531 is so simple its smart, I know it needs time, thanks soldog.
Pete, that is a good idea, I did reduce
pretty generously , but its smart to reduce even more- and yes I am not used to any kind of pressing rep work
greater then a double or triple.
Kev,
I agree with Pete. I had to reduce weights several times on 5/3/1. its hard, but take your ego out of it, and set your training maxes about 80-85% of your true 1rm. If you can do that, your body will adapt faster, and you will be knocking it out of the park again before you know it.
Do you know if it will be a boy or a girl yet? When is he/she/it due to spring forth?
My ego isn’t crushed, I was just perplexed,
I can reset maxes, it wont bother me too much, but I will admit
that I was surprised
we chose not to find out what the baby is we want to be surprised.
the baby is due in Mid February so we are at 23 or 24 or so weeks.
when did strollers start to cost so much?
I did something like 25 GHR on Monday and am still crippled WTF

They are not strollers anymore, more like transport systems!! It seems no one has a simple stroller anymore.
Grats on the Procreation!
The world needs more Babies to soften up all the old grumpy men…
I live in a big city with people with too much money or time… I wont turn this into stroller thread…:))
on another note I just went and bought an inzer econo belt and wrist wraps, I am officially a gear whore.
sniff.
I’m late again. This is really getting to be a bad habit!
Congrats! I wasn’t sure if I wanted kids, when I was younger. But now, I can’t imagine life without them.
Best wishes to all three of you!
We had one super expensive Eddie Bauer type stroller, and for some reason my wife didn’t like it. She went to the thrift store around the corner and found one she liked for something like $15, looked brand new.
Gear Whores Unite!
Those don’t count as gear. Lifting necessities. My wife backed over two strollers. She would load the kid into the car then proceed to forget the stroller and back over it. Got to be expensive.
I’m catching up… congrats Pops! Nice training too! I will be asking you all sorts of dumb questions regarding the 5/3/1.
