felt weak today. getting over being kinda sick and not getting enough sleep. I upped my fats/calories so it has to be the sleep thing. most likely taking friday off, then doing 5x5 paused incline on sadderday. gonna stay with 185 there. think I'll do the same with FS. will continue to do FS instead of hbbs until I jump back on a program.

2/8

weighed in at 164. thought i'd be lower, but at least I'm leaner than I was 2-3 weeks ago.

did some inverted rows and like 6 sets of 2 pullups for speed while fasted for quick work.

flat bench feels so damn foreign now. the first 3-4 reps of the 185 were horrible (bar path). Def could grind out 20 or so if I wanted, but naah.

Thinking about doing one 9 week wave of liftrunbang/strong-15 programming. I'll be cutting for the first 3-5 weeks then should be eating around maintenance by the end of it.

few q's for you about 5/3/1 breh, apologies in advance if they are dumb and/or repetitive

-how did you go about picking which level of accesory work to add in?
-when the fields on the blackironbeast are blank does that mean pick the weight you get closest to that rep range with?
-are you supposed to increase the weight thru the sets on the accessory work?

i'm gonna start tonight or tmrw depending on when i gtfoh

Wendler also recommends starting light with the maxes you put in so that you won't stall. I started off light with my maxes and plugged in numbers for future cycles and it was about 5 cycles down until the weights would become challenging for me.

I think you'll def like this program. Even if I only made it through 3 full cycles, I def got stronger. I plan on getting back on 5/3/1 again eventually.

Thx breh very much appreciated

anytime breh

Easy session. Still working on getting my work done faster smh. I expect to set some new PRs in the big 4 (sq/bench/dl/press) in about 11 weeks.

lost another pound finally. I started my EOD (every other day) refeed thing today tho so I'm sure I'll be up a cool 4-5lbs tomorrow from these carbs. Will try and train on M,Tue,Thurs,Sat and only eat carbs on T,Th,S and see how that goes for a few weeks.

really short on the rest periods. prob 70s at most between sets, but I took like 5min between exercises. I was dead to say the least on most sets.

not sure what I'm expecting from the shorter rest periods but can't be bad. I start my EOD carb thing this week. only having them on lifting days.

re: incline bench. I really thought I could do 135x10 x5 because I left a few reps back on 165, but didn't realize how much the short rest would kill me.

this short rest period stuff is stressful. originally planned on doing 5 sets of 135 paused for hbbs, but I wanted to go lighter so switched to FS. was pretty much resting 45s or so until the skwat singles, then I had to rest closer to 2min.

saving the power cleans for tmrw's presses and same for pullups/pendlays.

Def eating too much. Wednesday is off day, so I'm either walking for ~20-30min or doing inverted rows.

These sessions are becoming too short it seems like. Low rest periods for military presses are pretty easy compared to skwats/incline. Anyway, I really gotta start eating less smfh
