Piss and Vinegar

Bro you gotta get your dead out in front of your other lifts. Also, how are your zerchers treating your elbows? You gotta be bruised up doing those.
 
kortisol-Not sure how much of the log you've read, but I've been working on it.

Deads are at 465, squat is at 455, bench is at 300.

Never had any serious bruising from Zerchers, just petachiae.

Training partner comes home again in May, hoping to deadlift and squat 5 plates by then, with an easy 315bench just by nailing the accessory lifts hard.

Just wanted to play with 155 so I can calculate my 1RM since I want to begin a 5/3/1 cycle...should be about 170 lbs. Weak...hoping 5/3/1 will help progress it.

Today-Legs.

Debating whether I should run 5/3/1 with standard or box squats. If I get my box squat to where my standard squat is, my standard squat should go up to about 5 plates by default...in theory. Any input?

Box Squats
45x10
135x10 (about 5" below parallel)
225x10 (5" below)
315x2 (5" below)
315x4 (3-4" below)
315x10 (about 2" below parallel)
315x15 (parallel)
405x1 (parallel-thought it was gonna be much harder, blasted the weight up and the plates were all over, had to re-rack)
405x3 (parallel)

Safety Bar Good Mornings, Seated
135x10x3

Gonna take some getting used to, the handles smash my clavicles...

Seated Calf Rs.
45x50 (rest/pause)

Couldnt get to 75, maybe next week haha.

Plate Loaded Leg Press

7 sets of 10 (actually 9 on the last set, just couldnt finish the last rep)

Starting with 1 pps, adding a pps on each set...need some volume to get my quads up to par.


Psyched that the box squats went well, at least I know my glutes and hammies are benefitting from the assistance work I've been doing.

Getting ready to calculate my 5/3/1 routines for the first week, I gues I'll go with box squatting for awhile. Won't be moving as much weight but it should carry over to great starting strength and a solid posterior chain...
 
Floor press is great, especially if you generate a lot of strength in your bench from your leg drive and back arch. Really helps isolate the movement so it is purely a test of raw upper body strength.

OHP felt better than ever. I have 5/3/1 weights calculated for 12 cycles at 4 weeks per cycle haha. I figure I might hit a sticking point and need to switch things up for a month then get back into it and finish out 12 months of Wendler 5/3/1.
