Great week that went quickly and smoothly will rest tomorrow, skipping my back/arm day becuase I was able to accessorize well enough to cover that this week, and will let me wrap the final week before my pre-meet week a day sooner. High points:
Week before last, I did a test run of a program I've written for myself. I made a series of modifications based on that first week and also planned out a 3 week cycle rather than a linear progression that utilizes cycling intensity and volume.
Week one was pretty awesome. I got in what would've been about 2.5 weeks of 5/3/1 squatting into a single training week, and my knees loved it. The combination of front and back squats is still a good one.
Cycle 6 went pretty well. I did BBB on all my 5/3/1 lifts, got some new shoes, tightened my belt, and hit a nice 15lb squat PR at 475. Hit an OHP rep PR at 165 for 10, and had a terrible bench day and missed what should've been an easy 10lb PR at 290. All in all not bad.
C5W3 ended uneventfully, nothing amazing happened. I managed to complete all my Mag-Ort reps again on deadlift. Took a 5 day deload consisting of only one modest upper body day in the gym while travelling. Finished week 1 of C6 today.
