Wendler 5/3/1 program, cycle 18, week 1

• Work Set – Deadlift (working max: 375#)
  • 1x5x150 (warmup)
  • 1x5x190
  • 1x3x230
  • 1x5x245(work)
  • 1x5x285
  • 1x7x325
• Assistance – Deadlifts
  • 5 x 5 x 185
• Assistance – Pulldown Abs (kneeling)
  • 4 x 15 x 100

Today worked pretty well. I know 7 reps isn’t tons higher than the prescribed 5, but it’s an increase at 325. All good.

When I was doing assistance lifts, I opted to work on where I was breaking. I sometimes lift my butt before the weight comes off the ground, which isn’t good. So I wanted to really focus on breaking at the knees, getting the weight off the ground, then I could straighten up.

Otherwise, working good.
