A fair way to end the cycle

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

• Work Set – Press (working max: 155#)
  • 2x5x45 (warmup)
  • 1x5x65
  • 1x5x80
  • 1x3x95
  • 1x5x120 (work)
  • 1x3x135
  • 1x4x150
• Assistance – Press
  • 5 x 10/10/8/6/6 x 80
• Assistance – Pull-ups (band assisted)
  • 5 x 10/8/7/6/5 x BW

Well, it wasn’t the most glorious of 5/3/1 days, but it was acceptable. I know that next cycle will bring me back into Press PR territory (3×155). My shoulders are happier, my technique is better, so all is good.

Assistance work wasn’t as plentiful, but it did push me… so, take it for whatever it’s worth… and move on.

My upcoming deload will be short because my schedule got thrown off. So I’ll take it easy the rest of the week, and start cycle 19 next week.
