    Week 3, "5-3-1", 1st cycle, Deadlift day.

    Body weight 190-191

    Cleans (accessory), work up to a moderately easy single, starting with sets of 5 at 95lbs, I forget but I think after 6-7 sets I ended up at 120lbs....not really important just want to get moving and blood pumping. Funny... but I notice people watching me when I do this....its an unusual movement for this gym.

    Deadlifts; warm up 115x5, works sets 168x5, 191x3, 213x5

    Front Squats (accessory) 95x10x3 Did not have much gas (or time) for 5 sets

    5/3/1 Cycle 1, week 3 Squat day

    I began with a warm up of shoveling snow so I could get out of the driveway, was more like push, dip heave. Many sets

    Main lift HB-Squats 45x4, 45x5, 95x5, 115x5, 135x3, 155x5. 175x3. 196x1

    Accessory; More squats, 95x10x5 I did these faster with more explosiveness, funny how light they felt at the first set.

    I cooled down with more sets of shoveling snow

    I can start my first de-load week after that.

    5/3/1 Cycle 1, week 4 De-load Week, Deadlift Day

    Dead lift; 90x5, 112x5, 135x5

    Accessory Lifts: More deadlifts 90x10x5, then Clean to a rack position then 10 front squats....65x10x5

    This session was notable in that I did this at home with my own new equipment; an IWF dimension American barbell 20kg bar, bumpers, and a platform I built today. The garage all this was in was maybe 34 degrees, a couple of minutes of jumping rope warmed me up pretty good. Got through the session in maybe 30 minutes.

    5/3/1 Cycle 2 Week 1 Deadlift day

    I do one of the accessories first: Cleans

    Cleans; Work up to a reasonably heavy single...just to get ready for the deads, get the blood flowing.
    45x5, 45x4, 95x4, 100x4, 110x4, 115x2, 120x1, 127x1, one or two of these were right on the money, the bar felt weightless for second at the turn over and catch, good quick bounce out of the bottom. I could have easily hit 150 or more if I kept going, and could drop the bar (can't here)

    5/3/1 Deads Now that I am warmed up straight at it 177x5, 188x5, 200x5

    Accessories:
    More Deads, 95x10x1, (Add weight..too light) 115x10x4

    Chins: 3 sets of as many as I could, i got 3 on the first set then a few negs, then 1 and more negs, the third was all negs maybe 5 I forget. This is real hard work its going to be a work in progress. I am convinced certain muscle groups are not even firing when I am doing this. Frustrating

    5/3/1 Cycle 2 Week 1 Bench Press Day

    OK despite the fear of how working out night effect my BP I went to the gym today.

    Before I went to Bed my resting BP 115/75 HR 71, This morning first thing it was 120/85 HR71

    Bench Press 45x5, 45x5 work sets: 94x5, 100x5, 105 (107)x5 Was very aware of how I was breathing, big breath starting top and a little on the way down, exhale on the was up. It was done like a big deep breathing cycle so I may have held my breath for 20% of the 2 second rep. Please comment anyone who has advice here.

    Accessory lifts

    More Benches 65x10x5 breathing here same as above, kind of like a piston pump.
    Trap Bar Farmers walk 110lbs for 300 ft x 3 , first time for this....I like it, had a bit of cardio element to it.
    Barbell Bicep Curls 35x10, 45x10, 55x10

    I hour after the above, one cup of coffee, food, walk to and from the car in the cold, and a half full bladder the reading and wife giving me the "orders of the day" the reading is 131/84, HR 81

    5/3/1 Cycle 2 Week 2 Deadlift Day

    Had to take the week off from the gym due to a cold, so back at it today,

    Warm ups were Skip rope, which sucked and I stumbled at. Plus a grab bag of various stretches

    As usual to get going I did my accessory sets of cleans first working up to a comfortable easy single, which was 135lbs today, this took about 5 or 6 sets starting at 95 lbs

    Deads; 188x3, 199x3, 211x3+1 I did not do a very good job of breathing bracing and following the cues, I could swear something tweaked in my lowest part of my back. I was off the mark today. Hopefully something is not damaged. I might better get some personal coaching next deadlift day. Very disappointing

    Accessories

    More Deads: 120x10x5
    Front Squats 95x8x3

    Spin Bike steady slow pace for 15 minutes

    5/3/1 Cycle 2 Week 2 Bench Press Day

    Yesterday was a 5k walk, took about 54 minutes.

    I definitely tweaked my lower back doing deads friday, mildly sore all weekend, but did not seem to effect effort or ROM.

    Gym was very busy this morning with all sorts, however I have not been in on a monday early in quite some time, ranks have swelled with resolutioners. I can't wait until I can get going in my garage, where I can listed to old school punk rock and drop my weights.

    Main lifts; Bench Press, work sets (80%) 100x3, 85% 107x3, 90% 113x3 (I forgot to do as many as I could here, could have done more 3 more easily in the last set).

    Accessories

    More Bench Presses 65x10x5

    Farmers Carry 155lbs for 30 seconds, rest for 15-20 seconds x 10

    No Time for a little cool down cardio.

    5/3/1 Cycle 2 Week 2 Squat day

    Not so good day today

    I decided to get a progress check up from a personal trainer that I have gone to before, very knowledgeable guy

    As I got into my second work set 184lbs (85%x3) he stopped me after my 2nd rep because I was struggling with the weight too much and my form was breaking down. I was twisting to my left slightly as I was lifting up and one knee was slightly higher than the other. My warm ups were fine and my first workset of 177 (80%x3) was OK but he could tell and so could I that there was no way I was going to get the 196 x3, with good form. He dropped the weight and had me do 154x5x5 and watched...these were Ok.

    He then did a bunch of tests to show I have a some muscle imbalance in my quads (which I am also not using enough as my ass shoots out a little the heavier I go). Gave me a few exercises to help correct the imbalance.

    I have to drop way back on my weights (my training max really) and work on form and to even out the imbalances. It was a big reality check.

    Going to get him to supervise my dead lifts next.

    Regular League Hockey Tonight

    Logging 25 minutes of ice time approx.

    Game tonight was at 10pm, afterwards it takes an hour or two before I can relax and fall asleep.

    Ill start noting this activity because it is some kind of HIIT. It greatly effects when and how hard I hit the weights. I may need tomorrow as a rest day.

    5/3/1 Cycle 2 Week 3, Squat Day

    I had my second visit at this different gym with the same trainer to help fix my squats.

    He felt we had to establish what my current 1RM was, he also wanted to see exactly where my form is breaking. The numbers are converted from KGs

    These were the sets;
    10x45
    5x45
    2x88
    2x110
    2x132
    2x143
    2x154
    1x165
    1x176
    1x187
    1x198
    1x209
    1x220 This is where I got slow, just above parallel, and then I speed up around 3/4 when I can really throw my hips out. Surprisingly this was not overly hard work.
    1x231

    Next we did 50% of the 1 rm 8x8 , with a 30 second rest between sets so this was 115lbs This would be the remdial work for my next session again

    GHD machine was next, 8x4, this was new to me.

    Goblet squats 20lbs, 15x4

    There will be a couple of more squat days with this guy hopefully I can reset my training max to a realistic level, and not get hung up for awhile again. Bottom line is I need to build some muscle in the quads and concentrate on getting them to work harder through the sticking point. My Glutes and hips seem to be not a problem

    After yesterday my legs were fried this am, so I ditched the pick up hockey, can't chance an injury. I have to save it for the league on Tuesday to help step our losing skid.

    Did a 35 minute walk instead.

    Reading a lot more about diet, nutrition etc. But still confused. For now I am just going to monitor my weight, and document what I eat, while trying to make sure I hit my ideal protein amount which is apparently 0.8 grams per lb of ideal body weight. This seems to be around 142 grams. I calculated my TDEE around 2700 calories. So I need to measure my consumption and watch my weight over the next several weeks and see where my weight is going. I suppose if records indicate I am consuming around 2700 calories and my weight is not going up the TDEE must be correct? Once I have that then I need to figure out what to do next to get rid of the fat on my belly without sabotaging my strength/muscle gain. Chime in if you have any suggestions.


    De-load week this week coming.
