Not much to say, really. A solid workout. I strove to leave something in the tank on my last work set, but I did push my assistance work. Everything just felt solid and good.

What gets me?

The next 4 sessions are the 5/3/1 sessions. Every single one will be going for a PR. Bench, Squat, Deadlift will all be for full PR’s, lifting a weight I’ve never lifted before in my life (for any reps). Press will be matching weight, so it’ll be a rep PR.

It’s a bit intimidating, but also very exciting. I think I’m most excited about Friday’s squat session: 295#… almost 300. Next cycle.
