I’ll see if I can manage not to cripple my self with the hip thrusts. If I can figure out my video camera I’ll take a vid.[/quote]
why do I have the image of joe doing hip thrusts in hooker heals all of a sudden? [/quote]
I’m pretty sure everyone else is glad they don’t have that image.
Great MPs Kimba! Keep those PRs coming - I love being surprised by what new PR you’re going to post.
This 5/3/1 is working wonders for you! Or rather, you’re working wonders with it.
JCS, thanks for the ideas!
N, now I REALLY can’t wait to see Joe’s video. 
Molly, I’m happy to be good for a laugh. PMed re: tanning.
Mascherano, so far I am really liking 5/3/1. We will see if I can keep making gains on it. I sure hope so.

You get spray tan 2-3x a week? I thought it lasted 10 days or more?

I’ll be a guinea pig for the question of how long spray tans last, starting tomorrow.
Today’s training had high points and challenges.
“Off the 5/3/1 Reservation” Day
Back squats to 3 risers plus a step
Bar 1 x 10 warmup
75# 1 x 10 warmup
95# 1 x 5 working
115# 1 x 3, 1 x 4 (out of 5 reps, got helped on the third), 1 x 1 (failed on 2)
I’ve reached a bit of a sticking point at 115 lbs. Back on 1/5/10, I had a strong squat day and repped out 10 at this weight on an “off the 5/3/1 reservation” day. Since then I’ve attempted 115# again on only two occasions due to my 5/3/1 loading scheme, never getting more than 3 reps. Today I had an alternately over-eager spotter (helped on reps that I could’ve gotten) and inattentive spotter (let me get stuck on the step on the third set). grrr.
Lack of mental focus? Maybe. Likely. Some physical weakness in my quads/glutes/hams? Poor nutrition/sleep? Or maybe progress comes in fits and starts, and with back sliding?
My plan is to continue on the 5/3/1 path and see what happens.
Bench
85# 1 x 1 (failed on 2) <—This equals a PR, and is my true one-rep max
75# 2 x 5
I was happy to put up 85# again. After that, eh.
Walking lunges
2 25s 71 steps, no resting, good form except my back knee could go lower
Lat Pulldowns
70# 1 x 20
Triceps Pushdowns
??# 1 x 15
Biceps curl into shoulder press
12.5# 1 x 15
Plank – held strict form for 1:30
Side Planks – 1:00 each side
Cable Hip Adductions/Abductions
7.5# 3 x 10 each leg
I showed up today and did my best. Calling it good.
Those of you using a mixed grip on deadlifts, do you alternate which hand is up/down during a training session or from session to session? To this point I have always used a palm facing floor grip on my right hand and palm facing ceiling grip on my left. Lately I’ve been noticing that my left wrist aches a bit when I twist it from palm down to palm up during normal activities. I might try switching up the deadlift grip to see if this is causing the problem.
Thanks for reading. I realize that this log is soon to hit expiration and am already scheming up a new name for the next one!
