Trained solo this evening. Couldn't get to the gym yesterday as I was too busy with the boy's hockey.
Squats - 135X15, 225X5, (Warmup). 275X5, 315X3, 345X7, 315X5.
No assistance work, just squats. The 345X7 set felt really good. I feel I could have grinded out 2 or maybe even 3 more reps but again was squatting solo. According to Wendler, not supposed to go to failure anyway. It felt strong though, and I think 345X7 is a PR for me.
I did a half assed bicep workout in between squats.
EZ bar curls - 95X10, X12, X12, X12.
Seated DB Curl - 45X8X3.
For this next cycle I'm thinking of changing my bicep workouts to another day, or just maybe do some bodybuilding type training on Wednesdays or another day off. I just dont feel like doing anything else on squat day, so I havent really been hitting the biceps hard.
Anyways, thats the end of week three, and my first cycle of the 5/3/1 program. Starting next Monday I will up the weights 5 lbs on upper body lifts and 10 lbs on lower body. I am going to test maxes either on the last week of the next cycle or maybe the week after in a mock meet if I can get a couple of other guys that want to do this as well.
