Begbie's AGVT

[Begbie]

Well, first time creating a log....

Been doing 5/3/1 for sometime now, and kept hitting walls re-starting cycles etc. I was getting frustrated, annoyed and losing my love for the gym. I attempted this when I first started the gym, which was just a complete failure I didn't have the heart or dedication.

Anywho, purely using this to log my weights and something to look back over and possibly some advice?

Day 2

Squats

10x5x90

These felt pretty good, could've possibly went higher.

RDL

1x5x40
9x5x50

The last few were horrible, form was going I felt weak. Bust through it.

Front Squat

Couldn't even be bothered changing the weight by this point and the thought of doing them was off putting.

3x8x50

Felt awesome though, really deep nice and powerful on the way up. Felt light too.

DBSS

1x6x10
1x6x14
1x6x20
1x6x20 - failed at somepoint through these (can't remember where and done some BW just for the lols)

8798

DAY 3 - Rest

DOMS, DOMS, DOMS.

Everywhere, every bloody where.

Day 4

Deadlifts

10x5x110

Possibly could've went higher, but day 2 doms where even worse than yesterday! Horrible. Felt form go on the last few sets and thought about resetting, core was still smashed from the previous squat session and couldn't quite brace strong enough.

OHP

1x10x30
9x10x35

These felt easy untill the 4th set when I got light headed, and had to reset the reps. Rest felt easy again.

DB Rows

T-Bar Rows

10*5*60

Pull Ups

Times something

Dips

4x6

Day 7

Rest

Day 8

Squats

6x5x90
4x5x100

90 felt easy, and to be honest so did 100. Not sure if I'd have managed 10 sets of 100.

RDL

10*5*50

Front Squats

4x6x60

These where very hard!

Walking Lunges

Never counted how many lunges just up and down the length of the gym

BW
12
14
12

Dead.

Both good sessions, the upper body session was a lot easier than lower. 10 sets of squats are a killer the next day and I don't think my body could ever get used to it! Loving it though.
