Cort Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Was out of town for about a week, but I'm back in the saddle now. Started week 2 of 5/3/1 yesterday. Feeling those squats already. Monday Nov 4, 2013 Squats: 70x5 85x5 100x3 110x3 125x3 140x6 Boring but big-squats: 80x10 for 5 sets Quote Human WarriorNon nobis, Domine.

Cort Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Tuesday Nov 5 OHP: 35x5 40x5 50x3 50x3 55x5 65x3 (barely) Have I mentioned how much I hate OHP? Pullups with 1-band assist, reverse grip: 4 Boring but big OHP: 35x10 for 5 sets Pullups with 1-band assist, normal grip: 4 Still dealing with elbow lock on the down portion of the pullups, so I wasn't able to extend completely down on each one. It's hit or miss. I'd guess my arm can get to about 15 degrees before it refuses to cooperate. Guess it's just something I'm going to have to deal with. Maybe as I get stronger it will be easier to control. Quote Human WarriorNon nobis, Domine.

Malcore Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Was 55x5 for your second working set a typo? Should have been 55 for 3. May have given you a little juice to squeeze out another rep on your 3+ set. Quote With great size comes great responsibility. My 5/3/1 Year project. Lifting Log Link to comment
Cort Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yeah, that was a typo. It was 55x3. Quote Human WarriorNon nobis, Domine. Sed nomine tuo da gloriam.Warrior: Battle Log | Old Battle Log | #1, #2, #3, #4First Warrior/Ranger Battle Log Link to comment

Cort Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Shifted back to night shift last week. Been feeling pretty tired and somewhat under the weather the past few days and my diet has been awful. Tried to make up for it some today but couldn't get through all the BBB sets. Getting ready to go to work and all I want to do is go back to bed. Bleh. Week 3 of 5/3/1 Squat: 70x5 90x5 105x3 115x5 130x3 145x3 OHP: 35x5 40x5 50x3 55x5 60x3 65x3 BBB Squat: 80x10 for 2 sets BBB OHP: 35x10 for 2 sets Quote Human WarriorNon nobis, Domine.

Malcore Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 BBB is optional, Big Wendler says this himself. Sometimes you only feel like doing the big lift. Looks like you merged two workouts into one which is a good way to make up for lost time, yet you still had it in you to do 4 sets of BBB! Good days, bad days, good weeks, bad weeks- keep going. Keep pushing and pulling. Quote With great size comes great responsibility. My 5/3/1 Year project. Lifting Log Link to comment
Cort Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Had another couple of long night shifts with mandatory training making for 14-15 hour workdays, but I finally slept decent today and got about 8 hours total. Combined DL and Bench today since I didn't get DL in yesterday. Here's the end of week 3 in 5/3/1 Bench: 45x5 60x5 70x3 75x5 85x3 95x6 Bench BBB: 50x10 for 5 sets DL: 75x5 95x5 110x3 125x5 140x3 155x7 Quote Human WarriorNon nobis, Domine.

Cort Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I've been a little (a lot) preoccupied with other things the last 2 months and haven't been keeping up with my nerd posts so I feel like it's a little late to join the current 6-week challenge. Especially since I'm going out of town this week. So I think I'm just going to keep on doing the 5/3/1 program until Dec 22 then re-evaluate my old goals and make new ones for the next challenge. Happy holidays everyone! Quote Human WarriorNon nobis, Domine. Sed nomine tuo da gloriam.Warrior: Battle Log | Old Battle Log | #1, #2, #3, #4First Warrior/Ranger Battle Log Link to comment

Cort Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 December 16, 2013 Squats: 65x5 80x5 95x3 100x5 115x5 130x7 115x5 95x3 45x a bunch Situps: 25, 25, 25, 25Pushups: 12, 12, 12, 15 Was supposed to stop at 130 on squats but I had one of those days where nothing felt right and everything was uncomfortable, so I made my husband come outside and watch my form because it felt like my squats just weren't staying consistent. I felt off balance and awkward and uncoordinated, like it was my first time squatting. He made me go down to the bare bar and work on fundamentals for a while, which helped, but it was a frustrating lift day. Quote Human WarriorNon nobis, Domine.

Cort Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 December 17, 2013 OHP: 30x5 35x5 45x3 45x5 55x5 60x5 60x6 Bench BBB: 45x10 for 5 sets Again, a frustrating lift day. Feels like I'm going backwards. A week ago I did 62.5 for 5, and the week before that I did 60 for 6. WTH? That's why I added one more set at the end today because I was determined to do more. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate OHP? Grrrr... Bench felt good, even with being sore from pushups yesterday. I like the Wendler program because it spaces the big lifts out during the week, but I'm starting to wonder if it's doing me a disservice. Quote Human WarriorNon nobis, Domine.
