5/3/1 go BIG or go HOME!

[liftingson]

I'll still be your friend but I'd have to bust balls if I see a big guy throwing on 2 1/2's. At the same time my gym has 1 1/4's. Tomorrow is chest day maybe I'll whip them on for a set in your honour!

haha well thanks! SOmetimes, those little weights are the heaviest ones!

And to give you some ammo back I got stuck with 135 on my chest on a triple strip set of bench a few weeks back. told the guy I was good and was just going to rep out when I got to 135 and a dozen or so reps later there i am. lol. I got my balls busted bigtime....and I deserved it.

I use the small plates pretty much every workout to get the percentages right with 5/3/1. At some point, progress slows down and those small plates will be a step toward adding bigger ones.

lol! It happens man.
A year ago when I went on a hardcore cut and lost a lot of strength I tried going heavy on INcline. I use to rep out 250 - 275 no problem..Only had 225 on the bar. I was going for 5 reps. on rep 2, I came down with it, and thats where it stayed. luckly some bystander helped me get it up (no homo)

I should have just used the 2.5s today on deadlifts and just gone up 5...but I thought it would be quicker to just slap the 35s up there.. Those 5 reps kicked my ass!

Only "side" work I did was 5x10 hammer curls.
Dunno when my recovery day will be, I know I work the next 2 days...dunno a schedule after that.

I was still pretty sore from VD (Thats what she said). Especially lower back and shoulders. Squats today were decent once I got warmed up. Wasnt much to the bench. But when I got to OHP, I could tell my shoulders were tanked. Last week I hit 185 for my sets, there was no way I wanted any bit of that today. 155...not much weight, but nice slow smooth reps I had planned on trying a 1rep strict press for 400lbs contest, but I didnt have it in me today...maybe next week.
