If you happen to read my training log, you’ve likely noticed that I have not been posting for a week. I had last week off and took a week off lifting as well; the body needed rest. 

It was great to have a week off mentally, and physically. Spent a lot of time with my wife and son; did a few things that I think qualify as a bit of excercise. Went for a few bike rides; my son is learning to ride without training wheels (good cardio running behind him to make sure he doesn’t fall.) Swimming, park, soccer, and other adventures.  Had a lot of fun.

Now that I’ve been away from training I am really looking forward to tomorrow. I start my 11th cycle of 5/3/1 and cannot wait to be deadlifting in the morning. Here’s a link to the new log spreasheet: http://bit.ly/KP-531-cycle11. I bumped up deadlifts & bench press, but felt I should leave military press & squat at the same numbers.  I’m also planning to change up the assistance work and will log that as the week progresses.
