    After 6 months following the PP novice program I am starting 5/3/1. My previous log thread can be found at here, which had a link to withfit.com were I was tracking my progress here

    I am starting 5/3/1, where I am doing 4 days/week with Big But Boring accessory work for squat and bench and Triumvirate accessory work for deadlift and press. For BBB accessory work I will do 50% of my training max. I entered my best 5rep sets into the 5/3/1 calculator that forum member spiderman put together at http://blackironbeast.com/5/3/1/calculator which are as follows:

    Squat 295
    Deadlift 360
    Bench 252.5
    Press 150

    Today was day one, beginning with the Press
    5x102.5
    5x120
    8x135

    dips
    5 sets x 8 reps
    chins
    6/6/5/5/4

    Default 10/18/2011 - Deadlift Day!

    I'm interested to find out what effect the increase in deadlift volume with 5/3/1 compared to my novice program will be.

    5x247.5
    5x285
    6x322.5

    I was hoping to get more like 7 or 8 with 322.5, but whatever. It felt like my lats of all things were holding me back.

    Accessory work
    Good mornings
    5x8x45
    Hanging leg raise
    5x15

    Looking forward to tomorrows bench workout with big but boring.

    Default 10/19/2011 - Bro, oops, Bench Day

    Bench Press
    5x172.5
    5x200
    10x227.5

    BBB accessory work, bench
    5x10x135

    Dumbell rows
    5x10x50lb dumbells

    Given the way the 5 sets of 10 at 135 felt with the bench, I'm really looking forward to squat day BBB (Friday).

    Default Squats 10/21/2011

    Warm-up, then...
    5x202.5
    5x232.5
    9x265

    BBB accessory work
    5x10x155

    Now that ^ made my legs rubbery and my lower back was on fire.
    Followed it up with ...
    Glute/Ham Raises
    5x8xBW

    I felt like a couldn't walk for the next 20 minutes. Great workout.
    And that concludes week 1 of my first cycle of 5/3/1.
    So far I'm liking it, especially the flexibility of the program. I feel like I could keep tweaking the accessory work as needed and not get bored for a while.

    Default 10/22/2011 Back to the Press

    Press, Wave 2 (threes week)

    115x3
    130x3
    145x8 (calculated 1rep max = 180)

    Dips
    9/8/8/8/8

    Chins
    6/5/5/4/4

    I was hoping to add a rep in chins compared to last week, but instead I lost two. Though it's hard to be disappointed with the workout after 8 reps on the press at 145.

    Default Serious DOMS

    Friday's squat workout had me sore as hell today and yesterday. Haven't had soreness like this since I first starting my novice program. I'm blaming the 5x10x155.

    Yowza.
