leg extension machine was out of order and squats weren't great. Need to decide if there's any point to a deload week at these weights or just figure out the weights for the next cycle and push on.
 
Decided there's not much point with a deload week at these weights, it'd just be 6 sets of the bar and a few fractional plates. Pressing on with Week 1 of the next cycle. Calculated 1RMs as follows based on W3 results:

OHP: 43kg
Dead: 78kg
Bench: 56kg
Squat: 78kg

pretty much as i expected bearing in mind im on a cut. Plugging this into the spreadsheet gave me:

played around with the weight on the accessories, figured 5x failure wasnt the best approach. might need to go back to the periodization bible on this one.
