Nothing exciting today, but thankful it was a deload session since I’m still tired from spending all day at the beach yesterday. Had a lot of fun.

That’s it. End of my 2nd month of BBB, time to hit the third, and heaviest, month. This will be fun.

Nothing exciting at all as far as training this week, just some quick deload sets for each before I head into month 3 of BBB.

Had fun at the little man’s soccer game this morning though. They didn’t win, but had a fun game and played very well.

Figured I’d just keep my assistance BBB squat at the 60% number and do a few extra sets. This is the end of my warm-up/deload that I wanted to get through after a month off. I’m still a bit congested, but will be heading into my 5’s week next. Looking forward to it.

Still going through light sets to ease myself back in. Happy to do deads again this evening. Looking to make time for more training this weekend.

Since I’ve been sick for about a month now I thought it best to ease back in. Chest and congestion is still lingering, but I can’t stand not training any longer. Did deload sets to get a feel for it again. Will likely do deload on all lifts, then go forward with my 5’s and truly start the cycle.

Also, since I didn’t get far in my cycle when starting in December, and the fact that I’d been not lifting for a while I thought it best to redo the calculations and drop 10 lbs off my upper body & 20 lbs off my lower body main lifts. Restarting my 21st cycle of 5/3/1.

Just happy to be training again.

and that’s the end of my 20th cycle of 5/3/1. Like I said in a previous post, the current plan is to run through one more but during the 531 week of it I will be working to find out where I am for my 1RMs are on everything. After that, I’m considering getting the 5/3/1 for Powerlifting and switching over for a while. We will see.
