Max's Training Log - 1 Year On

Starting to think these 1RMs are BS!

Cycle 2 - Week 3 - Day 4

Deadlift:

115*5
125*3
130*21 (Doing these in groups of 5 reps with no more than 5 seconds to compose myself, is this cheating?

160*1 just to see how it felt, grip is the first thing I can see failing here, went up fine though.

60*muchos

Assistance Work:

Tried a few sumo dead lifts
BOR 8*4
Pullups (assisted as by this point I was absolutely ruined)
Single arm rows

Stats now:

Cycle 1 1RM - 214kg
Cycle 2 1RM - 292kg just lol

I can't imagine being able to pull 180 let alone 190, seems a bit silly.

My aim is hit the following:

Bench - 100
Squat - 140
Deadlift 200

This deload is going to welcomed though.
 
I almost feel guilty putting down 21 reps as it seems like BS considering my realistic 1RM can't be higher than 180!?

I know it's a deload week coming up but I may test my 1RM on the lifts out of curiosity....
 
Cycle 2 - Week 4 (Deload) - Day 2

Squat:

40*5
50*5
60*5

Assistance Work:

Did a few more squats, played around with my stance a bit and realised I can now go much narrower than ever.

Also tried front squats and they felt really un-natural, need to watch some videos on holding the bar.

Also did some light lunges and split squats then sat in the sauna for half hour :o

Bit rushed today as I had a lot to do but pleased with my OHP.

Off on holiday tomorrow, I have use of a gym but it will be hard to follow 5/3/1 but I will see what happens.

Maybe letting my hair down a bit will do me good.
 
Well there is a decent gym here which is cool!

Done bench and squats, have noted them down and will update at the end of the week :)

Training is more intense out here, 5k hilly bike ride to the gym, train, cycle back...all in 30 degrees heat!

The weight will be falling off me at this rate!
 
Back from holiday!

Lost my record of 5/3/1 stuff on my phone :( So I'm ignoring that cycle!

Going to hit Cycle 4 hard then re-assess and start a new wave.

Aim is to hit 3 PBs at the New Years meet :o
 
De-load complete, last cycle of the first wave coming up Sunday.

In the middle of moving house, new gym, so things are a bit up in the air but hoping to hit some decent numbers this time round.
