    My log went away in the crash. I guess I'll start it again.

    I'm in my 10th cycle of 5/3/1. I'm currently doing a full-body MWF template. In my first cycle last May, these were my lifts on their respective 1+ rep days, and their corresponding 1RM estimate.

    Deadlift: 390x5 (~455)
    Squat: 355x6 (~426)
    Bench: 275x7 (~339)
    Press: 150x5 (~175)
    Power Clean: 190x2 (1RM estimations don't make sense for cleans and snatches, I think)

    In my most recent 1+ rep week, this is what I did.

    Deadlift: 440x3 (~484), then I pulled a single at 495
    Squat: 405x8 (~513)
    Bench: 315x7 (~388)
    Press: 185x5 (~216), and then I pressed a single at 225
    Power Clean: 250x3

    Also, my dead-hang pullup ability increased from about 7 reps to about 13 while my bodyweight went from about 230 to about 242 in this time. So 5/3/1 works. It is known.

    Monday's session (1/30):
    Squat: 285x5, 325x5, 370x10
    Power Clean: 175x5, 205x5, 225x8
    Press(as assistance): 135x10,5,5
    Chins: 30 total

    Today's session (2/1):
    Squat: 325x3, 370x3, 410x1
    Bench: 215x5, 245x5, 280x8
    Good Morning 165x8, 175x8, 185x8

    Welcome back. Lost my new log aswell, but found it all through google.

    Full body 5/3/1 setup is working out nicely.

    2/3:
    Squat: 325x3, 375x3, 410x1
    Deadlift: 315x5, 355x5, 405x5; then I tried a single at 505 and pulled it up about 6 inches and then pussed out. Fuck me.
    Press: 140x5, 160x5, 180x6
    Chins: 30 total

    Shitty, weak day.

    2/8
    Squat: 325x3, 370x3, 410x1
    Bench: 230x3, 265x3, 295x5
    Good Morning: 165x8, 175x8, 185x8
    Chinups: 3x10, 2x5

    And then I finished with 10 sprints up a fairly long outdoor staircase. Good session.

    Friday 2/10/12

    Squat: 325x3, 370x3, 410x1
    Press: 150x3, 170x3, 190x5
    Deadlift: 335x3, 380x3, 425x5
    Chinups: 6 sets of 5

    Then we finished by using one of those floor racks for bumper plates as a makeshift sled, and pushed it back and forth a bunch of times. Now I want to sleep.

    For no reason, here's Rotting Christ.

    Monday 2/13

    Squat: 325x5, 370x3, 410x8 (shitty depth), 410x5 (good depth), 455x1, 500x1
    Power Clean: 195x5, 225x3, 250x2
    Chins: 20 total
    DB Press 55x10x2 (I was fucking beat by this point)

    500 is a huge PR. My form was shitty and the depth is hard to gauge from the video, but my training partner said it was deep enough. So I'll count it.

    Thursday 2/16

    Squat: 325x3, 370x3, 410x3; I forgot I was only supposed to do x1 for the last. Oops.
    Bench Press: 245x5, 280x3, 315x5, 365x1; threw in a single at the end. 365 feels amazingly light.
    Good Morning: 185x10x3
    Chinups: 6x5 with bodyweight, 3x5 with a 22 pound chain, 2 with a 44 pound chain.

    Bodyweight remains at 245.

    Maybe I'll make metal videos a thing on this log.

    Friday 2/17

    Squat: 325x3, 370x3, 410x1
    Deadlift: 355x5, 405x3, 455x5, then I went for some singles: 500x1, 525x1, 550x0
    Press: 160x5, 185x3, 205x3, then singles: 225x1, 245x0. A bodyweight press continues to elude me.

    Then I finished with some stair sprints.

    525 is a 25 pound PR.

    I was going to say that there's no way I haven't updated this log since 2/17, but I checked in my notebook and saw that that indeed was the last day I lifted heavy. In the three weeks since then, I had a deload week, took another week off to rest for a grappling tournament, and lost a week due to food poisoning. Fuck food poisoning.

    3/12

    Squat: 285x5, 325x5, 375x8
    Power Clean, done as 15 singles with only much time between reps as it took to put on plates: 135, 145, 155, ..., 275
    Press: 135x 10, 9, 10, 5, 2; wanted to do 5x10 but volume with presses is fucking hard
    Chins: 40 total

    My strength isn't as wiped out as I thought it would be, but 375x8 was definitely harder than it should have been.
