AdamF goes Juggernaut

Nice work. Any set of deads over 3 reps kills me.

Not so good today haha. Delts never get this much work and today I put them through the gauntlet. Kept the rest periods short because I have to leave for work in a few, so no time to screw around.

While I bombed the last set of military presses I made up for on the incline press, so no too bummed about today. Oh well.

Bench instead of Squatting today. My school/work schedule this week is different and I can now Deadlift on Friday versus Wednesday, so I can Squat tomorrow. Felt really good today, the more and more I get my diet in check, the better I do in the rack. Hit a few PRs today and everything felt relatively easy.

I feel like I underestimated my Row 1RM, cause the worksets are fairly easy, and I hit the same reps on the 3 day that I hit on the 5 day. Stay the course or up the weight, any suggestions?

If it's too easy, and not challening, I would jump weight.

Workouts are looking great Adam. Keep crushing it.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I really appreciate it. And to BTB, I want to push the weight up on rows but I don't know how much. Should I wait until next week at the end of the 5/3/1 cycle and see where I stand at a calculated max and adjust from there?

Squat day today. Really tried to push hard on the squats. My legs were on fire from reps 10-17. Overall though, it was a solid session.

Still trying to find a good solid ab lift. I got a burn from the leg raises but I feel like I wasn't really working them much. I do not have an ab wheel and I hate doing endless crunches to nowhere.

Well, because I haven't read this program I was hesitant to comment. But If I were running it and in your situation, I would keep bumping 5 pounds each workout until I felt like the weight was about where it should be.

Looking good in here. Keep up the hard work!!!

[AdamF]

Worked later than expected today and rolled right into lifting almost as soon as I got home so I was slightly off my game nutritionally. Won't let that hold me back though. I thought it was a fairly solid workout, I am beginning to love 10s and will be sad to move down to 8s in a few weeks.

Can't go to rugby anymore because of school schedule so I needed to do something for conditioning/fat loss. I've been looking at complexes and tried one out tonight. I feel like it was poorly set up, so some tweaking is needed.

With just the bar I was pretty smoked by the end. Plan is to go up 10lbs till 95lb and then see where I'm at. On lower body days I may do heavy kettlebell swings/cleans for some hamstring work. Also may break out the sled, we will see how it goes.

Congrats on the PRs.
