    Default Mark's 5/3/1 and jiu-jistu log

    I'm Mark. I'm 30, I'm 6'2" and I weigh in the neighborhood of 250. I train 3-4 times a week in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, fight in BJJ tournaments a few times a year, and lift heavy because it's fun. Patrick Stroup demanded that I move my log to the competitive lifter section, and who am I to argue? My old log is here.

    I've been running 5/3/1 for quite some time. I'm in the 1+ week of my 16th (I think) cycle. My training maxes this cycle are:
    Squat: 495
    Bench: 360
    Deadlift: 535
    Press: 225

    I have this cycle structured as:
    Monday: 5/3/1 squats, power cleans done as ramping triples, dips, optional chins
    Wednesday: Squat 40%x5, 50%x5, 60%x5, 5/3/1 bench, chins, optional rows
    Friday: (Front) squat 40%x5, 50%x5, 60%x5, 5/3/1 press, 5/3/1 deadlift, optional chins

    Training for today, Monday 10/22/12:

    Swings: a few sets of 5 as warmups
    Squat: 375x5, 425x3, 475x5. Not too hard.
    Power Cleans: 185x3, 205x3, 225x3, 245x3, 265x3, 285x2
    Chins: 2x10, 1x5
    Dips: 1x20, 2x10

    Good squats, shitty cleans.

    Wednesday 10/24

    High-bar pause squats: 200x5, 250x5, 300x5
    Bench: 270x5, 315x3, 345x2
    Chins: 3x10

    I didn't push the bench reps because my left pec is giving me trouble. I think I might switch to push press for a few months and see if that helps it.

    No video today. Instead, here's silly music.

    Friday 10/26

    Front Squat: 200x5, 250x5, 300x5
    Clean&Press: 170x5, 195x3, 215x2. I didn't push the last set at all.
    Deadlift: 405x5, 455x3, 510x2. Then some singles to test myself: 545x1, 585x0,0

    I pulled each of my 585 attempts to my knees and then they just stopped there. Oh well. Soon.

    Deload week is next. I won't bother to log, probably.
