Piss and Vinegar

I switch up my assistance work Mike, in 3 weeks it'll be pronated. Four weeks after that it'll be something neutral grip again.

BTW dieting down so feeling tired, still plan on hitting the prescribed 5 3 1 reps consistently though.
My only carbs are periworkout ATM....

Wendler 5 3 1 Cycle 1 Day 8

Today was rough. Have been cutting and only taking in 30-50 carbs a day, mostly around my training sessions. Very sluggish but I know itll pass. Struggling with weights that I usually kill with ease. In any case I set my squat depth slightly below parallel and did box squats instead of standard for all but the last set to make it tougher (dumb when running 5 3 1...). Got the prescribed reps, nothing more.

Sort of...it's a form of assistance work that Jim Wendler recommends called Boring but Big. You're supposed to do 50 percent of your 1RM for 5 sets of ten, I plan on using it every so often. The weight is light but feels havy after the working sets and shortened rest periods. Not something I would normally do but I can't argue with Wendler as he is a beast.

Not too bad considering I suck at repping out deads and have been cutting for two weeks now. Not sure where my bodyweight is but I'd guess it's no higher than 210 now. Gonna see how lean I can get without struggling then go on a lean bulk, or at least attempt to.

Forgot to add in biceps today, fuck.
 
Just for muscular balance, if I'm isolating triceps for my bench press then it makes just as much sense to isolate biceps to boost my rowing ability.

Whoa Whoa, aren't you supposed to go balls out on the last set for your big movement?
 
Supposed to strain but should never fail a rep. I need to get a spotter for bench days, pushing it on those has always been an issue.
 
So today was squat day...using a very low box (maybe a foot high), a bumber plate and a standard 45, looked parallel to me. Had some guys check my form and they claimed it wasn't breaking parallel but just the box and the bumper plate is. Others have claimed that I'm at parallel on an even higher surface. Have no way of taping myself, but I'm gonna have a friend of mine train with me one day, explain to him what parallel is andtake a look for me. In the meantime, I'm gonna use the lower surface for now, hopefully I can at least handle the 5/3/1 weights at that squat depth. I'd rather be going lower than higher anyway. So the main squats were off of the higher surface and the boring but big squats were off of the lower guide (low box and a bumper). The latter felt tougher but more likely because my quads and glutes were burnt from the main sets. Seems like a good sign that I was able to finish the whole 5x10 since boring but big is a lot tougher than it sounds.

Skipped deload week because I already had a week off in cycle 1...was dead tired this morning so OHP day was shitty, only managed 5 reps with 135 compares to 10 in the first cycle. Planning on making up for it on "3" day...

Wendler 5 3 1 Cycle 2 Day 2

Toughest deadlift day of the cycle for me since I still am better at heavy singles and triples than pulling 5's on deadlifts. The 5th rep was challenging for me (even though my 1RM is close to 5 plates). Moderate carb day so felt pretty good overall.

Thanks bud working on it...just focusing down the line. In 10 months I should be hitting 500+ on the deadlift for 5+ reps...shouldnt stall on Wendler for quite some time as long as I keep my rest and nutrition up and take advantage of the deload weeks.

Lifts fucking SUCKED tonight. Struggling at squatting at a lower depth (very low box with a bumper plate) but want to work on that weak point. Over the next few Squat sessions I'll try and figure out my 1RM for the box squat from that height and will use that for a few months to run my 5 3 1. Was only able to hit a triple with 360 which is terrible for me, didn't think there would be such a difference, the platform is only like an inch or two lower...
 
Dude its got to be the diet, I am convinced that lowering the depth by a couple of inches is not going to bring someone who squatted 430 for a triple down to 360.
 
Went from about 220 to 210 in two weeks, took a break over the weekend to carb up, started again this morning. Today isn't a training day so I'm pretty close to 0g of carbs today...

Been training, but struggling...still hitting the prescribed 5 3 1 numbers though.

Had to add carbs into my diet after dropping 15 lbs and feeling weak as hell. Started doing BJJ so Ill need the energy...
 
I feel your pain, my toes been broken for almost two weeks now. I have turned into a huge vagine in the past few weeks. Getting weak is miserable.
