Wed… (off/lite day) - Little bit of an experiment. I usually sleep in til 6:45 on wed instead of going to train at 5:30. Thought I would see whether sleeping in or getting up and doing some lite stuff would feel better (energy, alertness, overall not crappy feeling, etc.) So far, the latter.

Thanks GV. Would like to get to 515 by end of July for 1RM. I’m thinking bout going to sets of 3 next. I’m planning to alternate squat one week and deads the next for heavy 5 of 5 for another 4-6 weeks. Any thoughts? The reason I’m alternating is due to the type of sessions I have set up during the week. It’s impossible to get a full squat or DL day in on any other day and I’m seeing decent progress right now. I Appreciate any comments or suggestions.
