FOOT UPDATE
managed to get through my 12 hour shift with little to no pain, but woke up today and my foot is still quite sore. I think I might have to see a doctor, as nursing is 80% walking
PLUS THE FUCKING ICE STORM = staying inside and knitting! If I can drive tomorrow might try and make it to the gym. The foot pain is something I might just need to muddle through with for now.
Well shit! Hope you figure out whatās going on!
Squat Day- Cycle 2-Week Three-5/3/1
Back Squats
1x10- 45 lbs warm up
1x5- 95 lbs warm up
1x5- 115 lbs
1x3- 125 lbs
1x8- 135 lbs - REP PR
I got to put the big girl plates on, so excited!!! Thought maybe my balance would be a bit off from my foot issue, but these felt great!
Sumo Deads
5x5- 135 lbs
these are feeling easier and easier the more I do them, next cycle will add weight
Single Leg Press
3x12- 75 lbs per leg
Leg Raises
3x15
Not a bad workout. Foot is feeling better, but left out bulgarian split squats because balancing on my left foot might have caused some pain. I think I might have plantar fasciitis, which essentially needs rest, and meds for pain. Aleve is working well when it gets bad.
2 days orientation starting at hospice tomorrow. Excited and nervous!
Congrats LL
That is what I love about 5/3/1 you can go for those rep PRās and feeling great everytime you get one.
It is a nice feeling, and I am definitely getting strongerā¦and I appreciate that
BUT
my old powerlifting training is kicking in, and I do REALLY MISS pulling for one rep maxesā¦ like really itching to see what I could do now!!!
Then on the last week before the deload, go for a rep PR ā¦ take a rest and then keep building up to a 1RM, due to fatigue it wonāt be a try RM but you get a couple of 1 reps in
This is my last week before de-loadā¦I just have bench day to finish it outā¦so eithier I wait til next cycle ends, or maybe I could make my de-load fun?
Obviously I am just trying to hit some maxesā¦lol
If youāre not beat up, make it a fourths cycle and build up to a RM, then take the deload.
Might not be what Jim recommends, but we should have fun lifting.
Thanks 5/3/1 Dad 
HEY GUYS, I GOT PERMISSION TO HAVE A HUGE PR PARTY!!! BYOB!
Hey congrats.
Looking forward to this haha
So first day (back) on orientation at the hospice.
Felt like home!
I have always felt like palliative care was my calling, and it took being back at the hospice to realize how much I missed it, and how my nursing heart was meant for this type of care!
Only need 2 orientation days as things have not changed much. So hoping to get my last bench day in tomorrow, beforeā¦woot wootā¦PR party!!!
Great progress @littlelee. I think youāre going to make more than a couple people jealous with guns like that.

Gotta take the kid to a consultation for braces (bye bye $5000)
Trying not to get too excited about deadlift PR day tomorrow, will be disapointed if I donāt live up to my own hype!
Looking strong!

Dang!
I think I need to start taking naps!
I knew there was a benefit to all that sleeping!
Looking good LL
