    Note, for the sake of completeness I've decided to include the weight of the collars (1.25kg each) on my lifts, so all my lifts get an automatic 2.5kg boost.

    5x50
    5x55

    Squat
    5x115
    3x130

    Chins
    3,2,1

    Default Program change

    starting strength coach development program
    After running 5/3/1 for a few weeks I've decided that it's not the most appropriate program, primarily becasue I miss squatting more than once a week, and the progression felt too slow. I did however enjoy doing it for my presses and benches.

    So I'm going to try and do a hybrid TM/531, its either going to work great, or be a massive fuck-up, but I figure experimentation can't hurt too much.
