two more lifts for 5/3/1 and then a deload week

liking this better, focusing on strength through the end of the year. i know I was waffling earlier but goal is definitely to total over 1200 at 181 now and I am on that path. Current weight is 195.

DL, 531 week

335x4

MP, 531 week, 100x11

deload week

my online log fell apart.

  1. been online a lot less lately
  2. my back was FUBAR and I lost about a month of serious lifting

2 weeks before I could even go to the gym, and then all I did was rehab type movements and foam roll.

Been back at it about a month, finishing another cycle of 5/3/1

  1. I dropped weight on everything, reps went up, strength stayed about the same after the lay off. I lost strength in my squat.
  2. Don’t quit eating if you’re laid up, just be smart about it

So current records:
bench 170x10
DL 295x10

upcoming are MP and squat

I still have my 1200 total goal, eye on the prize. That means I need to put 100 lbs. on each of my lifts.

Okay second round of 5/3/1 after layoff from messed up back. Foam rolling is now my best friend.

Squat: 245x4
The squat was awful, I suffered pretty severely from the layoff. I should have been able to get 8. I need to work WAY harder at squat this next month.

Bench: 170x10
I am happy with the bench. Progressing well. I am doing BB bench only now.

Deadlift: 295x10
Very happy with the DL. I expect a 315x10 in a couple months.

Military Press: 105x2
Bad day, really awful. Next month will be better.

This week is a deload, works well considering the holiday week.

Squats today. 235x7. Definitely not my best.

140 x 10 for 5 sets as accessory work.

Hopefully next week is better.
