Trained in the am today which I haven't done in a while. Didn't eat much before hand either, just a shake and a banana. Mistake.
Didn't have my sheet for 5/3/1 numbers so I just winged it. Decided to go for a little more volume to end off cycle 9.
135X15, 225X12, 315X10, 365X8, 405X3 (usually good for 5-7 reps with 405 but hit the safety on bottom and it threw me off. Basically had to good morning it up.).
365X7, 315X10.
That was literally the finisher, I was on my ass. Was going to do 225 and 135 but nope. Packed up and left when I could stand up.
I did the whole workout in flip flops, never got in to my squat shoes, a belt or knee sleeves.
Im not going to squat again without eating beforehand haha.
That is the end of cycle 9 of 5/3/1. I haven't decided of I am going to do another cycle or try something different. I'm not going to deload this week but probably just train whatever until I figure out what Im going to do.
1RM sanctioned meet numbers recap after 9 cycles - 8 months
Squat - from 455 to 528 (+73lbs)
Bench - from 355 to 385 (paused +30lbs)
Dead - from 475 to 551 (+76lbs)
Definitely hitting a plateau which is why I might change up the training a bit to break through it. But still hitting PR's nonetheless.
