Thanks Steve. A rep with who?

3/18/13: Back Squat 5-rep week

Goblet Squat: 50x8, 70x6

Back Squat
185x5
215x5
Top set: 245x10 -> felt pretty okay considering I took last week off; +10lbs but -3 reps over last cycle’s 5-rep week

Back-off sets: 215x5, 185x5 -> D’oh! Forgot to do heavy singles as per 3/5/1 protocol

SGDL
135x5
185x3
225x3
275x1
310x5 -> wasn’t feeling it in the right places; forgot to check my ego at the door
240 x 10, 9, 9, 9 -> these are brutal for high reps

Front Squats
135x5
175x3
200 x 2 sets x 5 -> was going for 5 sets but called it because my upper back was tweaking a bit

Elevated RDLs: 235x15, 10, 10 -> felt super gassed

Leg Press (rest pause): 1pps x 20/10/10/10

Kneeling Ab Wheel: bw x 15

Thoughts: Definitely a C workout; top set went decently but this 10-day prep for CBL is already hitting me; I will up protein and fat today compared to yesterday. On the bright side, only four more workouts until I eat sweet delicious carbs

Checking the ego is tough. Knowing you need to is 2/3 the battle I'd say. Glad your top set went up. I plan on doing the CBL and the 10 day prep but I'm putting it off for a bit.

Yeah, nothing wrong with that. I really want to do it right to see it's effects/help to better learn my body. Woke up today (morning of day 3) and am feeling/looking a little small/soft all around but I guess that's because my glycogen stores are low. I'm going on vacation on june 1st, so after the prep phase I have about 9 solid weeks for CBL (hopefully I can eat appropiately on vacation but I'm not going to make any promises lol). In those 9 nine weeks I will strive to put on about 10lbs and maintain the same bf%

3/20: Overhead 5-rep + accessory (Day 4 of ULC prep phase)
45x10
60x5
75x5
90x3
95x5
110x5
125x1
140x1 -> a struggle, probably due to low carbs

125x6 -> hit above the prescribed but not a rep PB at this weight; no worries, I’ll crush next week once I have carbs in the system lol

95x10 -> decent back off set, but it’ll be better next week

Incline BB Press
135x11
115x 2 x 12

Incline DB Press: 40x2x15

DB Row (no strap): 80 x 3 x 15

Chins: bw x 10, 11, 8 + 2 negative

RGBP
95x20
115x11
105x13,11,11

Standing DB Hammer curl: 25x5x12

Cable Facepulls (underhand): 50 x 3 x 12

Seated Lateral Raise Machine (drop-set): 50lbs/40lbs/30lbs x 12/10/12

Thoughts: thank god that’s over – 4 days down and 6 to go until sweet delicious carbs

Thanks brother - the ULC is definitely affecting my strength, but this is to be expected. I'm willing to sacrifice short term gain for long term progress

What is ULC?

Still good work that all counts towards building.
