2012-05-04 workout – Wendler 5/3/1 program, cycle 8, squat 3

Go to gym. Set PR. Leave.

“Week 3” – BBB 3 Month Challenge

  • 5/3/1 – Squat (working max: 280#)
    • 2x5x45 (warmup)
    • 1x5x115
    • 1x5x140
    • 1x3x170
    • 1x5x215 (work)
    • 1x3x240
    • 1x3x270 (PR)
  • Foam Rolling

Need to get going earlier than usual this morning, so it’s a “jack shit” kind of day.

Went in, set squat PR, left. Well OK, I foam rolled some before leaving. 🙂

Comments.

I was falling forward on the last set, but it’s not too surprising for that to happen on “max weight”. Still, things to work on. The gym owner spotted me this morning and was mentioning keeping abs really tight. As I think back yeah, I’m not 100% sure where my Valsalva was regarding my belt and everything…. I was focusing so much more on 1. hip drive, 2. arm drive, that I think I forgot everything else. Rep 1 was bowling shoe ugly, but I cleaned up the other 2 reps; still not perfect, but better. So, things to work on.

I am also thinking that yes, I’m going to stop the challenge and switch up to a template that might make my workout more efficient. I’ll have to detail it later tho… gotta go.

    • That’s one thing I love about the Wendler program. It understands life. There’s no screwing around. Results.
