I started back in the gym a few weeks ago now that I've gotten mostly moved back and settled into my new job on night shift.  Last year I ran Strong Lifts and while I enjoyed it I decided to try Wendler 5/3/1 this time around.  My work schedule is a 4 day on 2 day off work week which suits Wendler's 4 day lifting template.  Prior to starting I did max testing using the Epley calculator.

My 1 Rep Max was estimated as:

Military press: 175

Deadlift: 330

Bench: 210

Back Squat: 325

 

Weeks 1 and 2 I used the "Big and Dumb" assistance template to get more reps under the bar for the main lifts.  For week 3 I'm doing "Joker Sets" which takes the max training weight for the day and adds a 5% increase to the weight for singles.  Week 4 is deload, I probably won't do any assistance work so I can rest up for the next cycle.  Starting next cycle I will begin C25K on my non lower body days and once I get moved to my permanent residence will likely move that to the non lower body days and 1st day off.

The score listed is the reps completed on the last set and the joker sets the number is the weight of the last set I completed.

 

Here is my log for the last 3 weeks:

In other news, I found a tire to use in future training endeavors, just need to pick it up Saturday.

 

I'll take a picture with something useful for scale, but I'm getting the big one.  It's about shoulder height on me when standing on end and I'm 6'

Benched today. Did 180x11 for the regular workout then worked singles up to 245. Missed 255 by a little bit, got stuck about halfway up.

Time for an update, this not having internet at home makes daily updates impossible.  Finished my first cycle of Wendler 5/3/1, it was pretty tough sticking to the deload week as I didn't feel I needed one.  I was mostly successful.  Meaning I didn't follow the weights exactly as prescribed but I kept them relatively low.  Once I finish work today I will be back at it for cycle 2.  Aside from my bench press deload day, I didn't do any extra assistance work.  I think in the future I will go by how I'm feeling, as long as I am recovering sufficiently I will add in some assistance work during my deload.

Also, for cycle 2, I used the highest weights I lifted during my joker sets in week 3 as my new maxes.  Since I obviously didn't add roughly 30lbs to my squat/bench/deadlift, I can only assume that my body has adjusted to pushing/pulling weight again and those are more realistic numbers than what I got by repping weight after 4 months off and estimating 1RM from that.  I can always adjust fire next cycle if this turns out to be too ambitious.

Didn't get any assistance lifts for deadlift this week.  My stomach wouldn't settle and I opted to cut my training short after the main work rather than risk vomiting mid-deadlift just so I could get some extra volume in.

Good call.  I'm sure deadlift vomiting does nothing for GAINZ.
