Cycle 1, week 2
BW: 89Kg
Total: 483.75

Great progress, Storm! Just wait until you get a few cycles in, you'll be killing it in no time.

Oh, and Pickle, I surpassed a 600 total yesterday thanks to my deadlifting. Race to 650?

 

[Storm]

Thank you Line, i'm loving this 5/3/1 thing not because this week2>week1 anecdote but because it's fun, fast (~45mins and you're done), lets you move some decent weight and it has got me rediscover standing MP presses and...

towel-wrapped kroc fucking rows

I have a new mantra: Strong grip cures cancer.

[Storm]

hello gentlemen. One more week is over, and what a damn week. I was so excited to do my first "3-week" 5-3-1 heavy weight sets and I spent sunday night, monday and tuesday living on the shitter with a viral infection. Really upset. Keeping myself hydrated was a full-time job, seriously.

On wendsday I was back to normal (well, normal but with 1.5Kg less of BW) and decided to do the "not doing jack shit"* version of the program. In fact i did squats 5-3-1 i i felt good and strong (7 reps) so i then did MP 5-3-1 wich went good too, then went home.
yesterday was deadlift day. The 5 set was easy, the 3 set was neat, then the 1 set came, i did 8 reps and felt like a sexier andy bolton just to realize I had 10Kg less on the bar than i was suppose to have. A couple blasphemies later I loaded the fucking thing and (with a belt on this time) I got 7 reps out of pure rage. Today's benchpressing was acceptable, my legs are the problem lol, they hurt.

With all that still this week>last week and as i'm still 1Kg behind in bodyweight wilks are also better haha!

Cycle 1, week 3
total: 488.85Kg (i wanted 490, meh)
bw: 88 Kg
wilks: 315.748215

Until next week!
*it was highly appropiate, given the circumstances.

 

[Pickle]

big ups storm. any improvement is good and you got lots of improvements stronger and less bw.

 

[Storm]

500+ total is doable this week (cycle 2 week 1) due to sky-rocketing deadlift! i'm loving this shit.
Also my grip is feeling stronger, so i might be cancer-free.

 

[Skeptic]

I'll probs be heading back into 5/3/1 after I finish smolov. I'm looking at comming out with a 600kg total Shouldn't be too hard!
