The beginning of this past week started cycle 3 of 5/3/1 for me. Heres how the past week went:
I began on Monday with squats. The previous deload week I had been low carb all day, every day as part of the preparation phase of Carb-Backloading. I wasn't exactly sure how that would go over, but to my surprise it went well. I hit my top set of 315x5 with relative ease but did not want to push it.
Wednesday brought on benching. I decided also to go with a close grip for this cycle (compared to my normal pinky on ring grip). This week's top set was 195 and I got that for a PR of 8 reps close grip.
Next up was deadlifts on Friday. Top set for this week was 360 and I got it for 7 reps. It felt ok but was not a PR as I previously did 365 for 7 reps. I am not too concerned about how the pulls went though.
To cap off the first week of cycle 3 was military press on Saturday. The top set was 155 and I got this for a PR of 7 reps.
Video's of each day's top set are up on my youtube channel (www.youtube.com/user/pbclax1). From here on I will update each training session with a full write-up and linked video.
Squatting tomorrow to start off the second week! Looking for a solid PR.
