    5/3/1 Full Body--The Creation of a Beast

    Beginning stats:
    6'0". 185lbs.

    Maxes:
    Trap Bar Dead (belt): 340x9
    16" Box Squat (belt): 285x5
    Bench: 245x5
    OHP: 160x5

    Training Maxes for this cycle:
    TB Dead: 370
    16' Box Squat: 290
    Bench: 240
    OHP: 160
    Hang Clean: 170

    Focus for this cycle will be to push bench/squat, conditioning and flexibility. I've done basically no cardio this year--was gassed & went home after doing 6 100 yd sprints last week. Also, my flexibility is crap, which is why I'm doing box squats instead of regular back squats. I'd like to improve my mobility so I can do regular squats with a healthy back angle.

    Workout 1:
    Hang Cleans: 120x5, 135x5 150x5 (just doing required reps this week)
    16" Box Squat: 135x5, 155x3, 195x5, 220x5, (belt) 245x12
    1-legged strt leg deads: 3x70x5 each leg
    DB Bench: 70x12, 70x10, 70x8
    DB Rows: 3x100x10 each arm
    Planks: 3 20 sec holds

    Notes:
    --Struggled with balance on the one-legged deads as I haven't done them in a while
    --Don't really need a belt for that weight on squat, but want to keep it consistent across all weeks in using a belt for my last set. Plus, it's nice to get the extra reps the belt affords me.
    --Last few reps on squat were sort of breathing reps.

    6x~80 yard (40 yds, touch fence, sprint back) sprints at the park.

    Pretty tired after this, which is embarrassing given that I basically covered a quarter mile.

    Took an extra day off b/c lower back is starting to hurt a decent amount.

    Today's workout:
    Bench: 185x5, 205x3 230x8 (On the one hand, that's a rep record @ 230 for me, but I'd hoped to get 9.)
    Pullups: 3x10 (kind of a struggle)
    Triceps Pulldowns: 110lbsx100 rep across a bunch of sets, mostly 4-6 reps w/10-15 secs rest
    Squats: 135x5, 155x5, 185x5 (did regular squats instead of box squats for first time in ages. Was a struggle to get to parallel. My flexibility is utter ****).
    Facepulls: 30lbsx15, 40x15x2
    Plank holds: 30 secs x 3

    Squats: 135x5, 155x5, 185x5
    Trap Bar DLs (touch and go): 275x5, 315x3, (belt) 350x10
    OHP: 120x5, 135x3, 150x8
    Pullups: 10, 5, 3

    So this cycle lifts went from:
    Box Sq: 285x5-->275x9
    TB DL: 340x9-->350x10
    Bench: 245x5-->230x8
    OHP: 160x5->150x8

    Pretty good progress. I didn't do as much to improve my cardio/flexibility. I'll deload next week and hopefully continue to increase my numbers next cycle.

    Bench: 135x5, 145x5, 155x5
    CGBP: 135x10
    Pullups: 12, 10, 10
    Tricep Pulldowns: 110x50 (27 w/o stopping, then the rest in sets of 5-7)
    Box squat ~14": 135x5, 155x5, 185x5, 135x9

    Notes: Holy hell did lowering the box make it harder. My flexibility is so awful. I'm having major trouble controlling the descent at this height and can tell I'm plopping down on the box on some (maybe most) reps. 185x5 on the 14" box felt equally as difficult as 275x5 on the 16".

    New cycle training maxes:
    Squat--N/A going to take time to work on flexibility and get back to doing regular squats to parallel. My #1 goal is to do 315x5 on the back squat with good form by Christmas. That's essentially 10 weeks from today (12/23) b/c gym will be closed on Xmas and Xmas Eve.
    Trap Bar Deadlift: 380
    Bench: 245
    OHP: 165
    Hang Clean: 180

    Instead of the full body 5/3/1 template, I plan to switch to the regular 4 day plan with one day dedicated to each of the big lifts. I'll also be doing light squats each day I'm in the gym just to work on form/improving my flexibility so I can reach a parallel squat.

    CGBP (using 170 as my training max): 115x10, 135x10, 150x10
    Bicep curls: 35x10, x8, x8

    Lots of air squats, stretching and some squats with just the bar in a struggle to get near parallel.

    Hanging leg raises: 3x5

    --Getting to/near parallel on the front squat was a real struggle even after spending 20 mins warming up and stretching beforehand.

    Squats: 135x5, 155x5, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5x3 (First two w/o belt were difficult. Last with belt was easier.) None were near parallel. Still need a lot of flexibility work, which is why I'm not following the 5/3/1 protocol for squats. I think I need more reps to relearn how to perform the movement properly.
    Strt Leg Deads: 135x10, 155x10, 185x10
    Hang Cleans: 125x5, 140x5, 155x12

    Trap Bar Deadlift: 275x3, 305x3, 340x15 (belt, touch & go)
    Front squat: 120x8, 140x8, 160x6 (getting to parallel felt a little bit easier this time. Still required like 20 mins of stretching).
    Seated leg curls: 90x20, x15, x15
    Like 2 sets of 5 hanging leg raises

    Squats: 135x5, 155x3, 185x3, 205x3, 225x3, 245x5, 250x3 (belt), 250x1 (belt) basically a fail
    Still not hitting parallel despite stretching for 20 mins beforehand. Form still feels awkward as ****, and even 250 feels heavy on my back even though I was high box squatting 285x9 a couple weeks ago.
    Straight leg deads: 150x8, 175x8, 200x6

    Bench: 185x5, 210x3, 235x8 but spotter touched probably 5 of them. 8 was the # to get today, and I didn't feel like I was going to get 8 on my own, but I def would have gotten more than the 3 or 4 he allowed me to do unassisted.
    Incline: 135x5, 155x5, 175x5 I have a lot of trouble pulling the bar off the rack on incline.
    Rows: 110x12, 10, 10
    Pullups: BW + 25x5x2
    Skullcrushers: EZ Bar + 25s x8, x6

    I seem to have lost some upper body strength in the past week. Not sure why. Both my OHP & bench were less than expected.
