Just finished a 7-week run of a 5/3/1 & Bodybuilding mash-up I’ve been calling Frankenbuilding, which itself ends a really long gaining phase that began on 30 October 2022.
Here’s what I looked like this morning:
Among other things, the Frankenbuilding run included 25,000 swings over the first 50 days of 2023, or an average of 500 swings a day. (I’ve got a detailed write-up in my log, if you’re interested.)
At this point, I need a break from pounding ridiculous amounts of food, and I should probably try to shed some of the fluff I accumulated over the gaining phase, so after a quick 7WP, Deload this week, I’m headed into:
- 3 weeks of 5s PRO, 5x5 FSL,
- a 7WP, TM Test week, and maybe
- some variation of 5x5/3/1 leaders and anchor.
Honestly, though, I’m so exhausted from the past 7 weeks I can’t really see past this deload! Guess we’ll just have to see how things play out…
Keep up the good work, everybody!
