5,3,1 bbb and other such things...

[MakeGoBoom]

So 5/3/1 didn't help your bench and squat?

So 5/3/1 didn't help your bench and squat?

no man, not at all in honest. maybe it was because i only gave the program 4 months but i think it may have actually hindered my squats in honest. i dont feel a lick stronger then when i started. if i were to run them again i would run a different assistance program. i liked it for deads a bunch, ohp is was pretty strong too. bench and squats not so much.

5,3,1 week 3 day 4. my last day w/ 5,3,1.

so ran to the gym figuring it would be a good warm up. even checked to make sure it was open online. got there it was closed. ran back w/ my sad face on got to my house ran into a dude i know a couple houses down. tells me there's another gym that's open, so i run there because i'm a running fool now a days. it's decent mixtre of school house boots and instructors. only 1 power rack though and then 2 squat racks.



sorry for bad camera angles they were all that was available. also messing around w/ production stuff so again sorry for the video crap.

Squats-
5x300
3x340
1+0x380. pretty upset because i had a double in me. went in thinking single instead of triple or double like normal, realized i had a double then b*tched out mid rep. blah

front squats-
5x8@185. tired of bbb backs. looked like crap. felt decent minus i think but wink

rdl ss w/ bench knee raise-
3x8@315. couldn't be bother w/ 5 sets after running all over
3x8@30

next week i will be attempting 1rm pr's. after that i'll be messing around until i start working w/ the coach after new years. probably do some 5rep work then heavy singles-triples. followed by assistance. will post it up after i'm done figuring it out. havent given it much though since i still have a week of deload

[Anthony21]

Real strong squatting Boom. Nice work.

That sucks 5/3/1 didn't help your squat and bench. I've read other logs where it didn't help their bench much either.

[ulsak]

Well I wish you luck with your next regime and as told before, I'm looking forward to see it too.
a single on 380 lbs is what I call awesome but

yeah man i know ken didnt care for it much either. like me though he really liked it for deads.

[ktj4l]

So how much running did you do before attempting to squat 380lbs? I have my doubts about the BBB template being that great for strength gains, but there are other ways to run 5/3/1 as well with less volume to have more work in the lower rep ranges. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new setup you're gonna run and how it works out for you.

it probably ended up being like 2.5 miles or so, maybe 3, didnt wear my gps today. yeah me too. i think bbb works for lifts that you have a large amount of room to grow in. i'm sure there's other templates i can run to make str gains with it as well. i have the book on the way to read through it finally, i owe it that much. still from what i've read and what i know about my body and how it reacts i think i'd do best w/ a hybrid if not a program designed specifically for me.

[KenshinH]

yeah man i know ken didnt care for it much either. like me though he really liked it for deads.

Yeah I made some gains on bench and squats but both stalled out long before deads. Since switching to other programs, I've found that I respond best when benching and squatting twice a week (one heavy, one medium).

GJ on the squats man. Squatting after running

That dude was mirin on the 380 set

that was some solid squats man.

I ran BBB for probably 4 cycles. I got alot more toned..but did not really increase my maxes on anything..if anything, all my 1RMs went down...but, I could rep the shiit outta something!

Yeah man. Lol yeah that dude was pro. Wearing 200 dollar shoes and doing 95 lb snatches. I guess I'm not much better though

Thx dude. Yeah at this point i should know better then to try and train hypertrophy and
Str on the same day but whatever. A lot of dudes have success it just isnt for me

[jasolhe]

It didn't do anything for me on squat, bp, or ohp. Deads it worked great. Probably because they respond to low volume better.

no man, not at all in honest. maybe it was because i only gave the program 4 months but i think it may have actually hindered my squats in honest. i dont feel a lick stronger then when i started. if i were to run them again i would run a different assistance program. i liked it for deads a bunch, ohp is was pretty strong too. bench and squats not so much.

just got back a week ago dude. i'm looking forward to it too.

[MakeGoBoom]

so would post work out but during my 250 set on macenko today, some punk bumped into my bar mid rep(my spotter cought it). then proceeded to give me the whatever shrug after i confronted him about it. i was "asked" to leave the gym. couldnt record anything anyway because gym was slammed
doesnt matter really i was having an off day, buddy was pouring drinks last night and i feel like crap today. even though i only had 3, i'm a light weight now a days. f*ck you gentleman's jack.
just going to do todays work tomorrow then tomorrows wed ect

here's the partial-

ohp-
5x135
3x155
0x185
0x175
1x170.... yup blah, will be trying this again i think i have 185. i also think i should bench 350 so we'll see

macenko 5a
8x165
6x205
4x235 felt obnoxiously heavy
1x3@250. felt retarded heavy
1x1@250 bump

choke slam
1xbw?

leave gym

[ktj4l]

Sounds like tons of fun. Decent session up to that point.

[ulsak]

that wouldn't happen in my arty farty gym. The bro curlers seem to scatter when I enter the ( only) rack area, unless they are granted an opportunity to shoot a vid for me..
and that's sad, could need that primal adrenaline kick sometime..

heh i wasn't to pleased, didnt feel like a hang over just no juice. really want 185 in ohp

yeah well its our "cool" meat head gym. i thought i might catch a break there but it was slammed w/ meat heads and wanna be's .

[ktj4l]

heh i wasn't to pleased, didnt feel like a hang over just no juice. really want 185 in ohp

You might have it on a good day. How far up did the 185 go?

[lllDBOlll]

Why not just do 531 pattern and then throw in a 5x5 of chosen lift afterwards with assistance.

It's what I plan to do when I cut.

Man I wish I was there with you bro, we would of cracked some skulls.

Nice work though Boom.

heh about half, i think i might have it, at least 175, just not today.

i want to see what working w/ someone will do for me. i'm getting it relatively cheap and i have the money(i'm ophrah rich!). if it's to no avail i'm going to dump it and work on the plan i was working w/ before maybe tweak some things. the rep scheme just hasnt been very responsive for me man, minus deads. it's a solid program as i've said. a lot of dudes are cranking results on it. i might give it another run at a different assistance program just not right now

Yeah, you got it on a good day then most likely. Alcohol will ruin workouts from my experience, unless you're at the peak/high-energy phase of being drunk when you work out.

[Jasonk282]

SO you had to leave cause some fcuk bumped the bar and could have hurt you...da phuck?
