Not too bad, not too taxing. I think I'm going to feel good at the end of this 5-week "sub-maximal" cycle

As it turns out, 1000 pound Club wasn't much of a stretch! Bill got 1055 lbs. during the week of December 11.Originally Posted by Bill Anders
I'm going to finish out my little 5-week "sub-maximal" training cycle experiment, and then see what I think and whether I'm ready to take a shot at the "Lifting to Live - Mock Meet(tm)"

You've got nothing to lose by trying!
Spreading the lifts out over the 4/5 days is a huge boost, too. Even with significant PRs in each of the lifts, I didn't feel like I was completely thrashed by week's end.

Pin press: 181x5
DL: 345x3x2
That is the end of my sub-maximal cycle. I do feel pretty good, but I think I'd like to run it again before attempting the mock meet.
First time in four attempts at 181x5 pin press. Even did the first three touch-and-go.

OP: 174x2x3 PR
DL: 335x3x2
I wanted this press PR, because last fall I misloaded an attempt at 164x5x3 and could only do a double (because it was 174). Now that accidental PR is wiped off the books!

Good workout Saturday. Heavy workday on a family project on Sunday. Really felt it that night and Monday. Don't like to think of how it would have been if I hadn't been training.
Back in the gym today. Went pretty well. The current "sub-maximal" mode seems to be accomplishing something, and it hasn't been bad to be able to do the workouts and recover without feeling I'm at the limit.
