410 went up easy; wanted to push for more but staying with just regular number of reps for the BBB 3 month challenge still.

Stopped by Nutrition Zone on the way home from the little man’s soccer game today to pick up a premixed pre-workout. Wasn’t sure which one I’d try (I don’t use them too often anymore) so the guy gave me a sample of  NZ Nutraceuticals ‘Invincible’ to try, which was definitely appreciated.  Overall it was good stuff, no jittery feeling and kept me going through the lifts. Not going to say it’s a new favorite but it got the job done. I was happy to see them finally carrying Con-Cret, which is hands-down the best supplement I’ve ever used.

Next up is a quick deload which will be the end of my 2nd month of the Boring But Big challenge. Increase the assistance work to 70% of working 1RM next month and am fully expecting it to kick my arse, and it should be a blast! After that I’ll likely go into a regular 5/3/1 cycle but substitute my 531 week with progressive singles to test where I’m at with my maxes again. Looking forward to finding that out again.
