    Staying fit (531)

    Lifting history
    December 2012:
    Watched Warrior with the lads whilst deployed in Afghanistan. A few of us thought Tom Hardy was awesome so we ran to the gym to train our chests and upper traps. That was my fitst gym experience.

    2012-2016
    Went full bro. Only trained chest, arms and upper traps (deadlifts/shrusg) with some occasional leg presses. Consumed every supplement under the sun, woke up at night to eat pasta, etc. Got my bodyweight from 77kg (Im 188cm tall) to high 90s. Eventually hit a 150kg bench and 225kg deadlift.

    2017
    Due to visually obvious body imbalances and ego benching, I ****ed up my right shoulder. Took over a year to heal. However, it got me thinking about my programming. Eventually I found Fiece 5 and was IN.

    2018
    Followed Fierce 5, starting focusing more on back work, full squats, profer form, etc
    October 2018 I hit a 250kg deadlift which got me interested in chasing PRs on the big lifts. Unfortunately I began eating too much/too quicky to chase those PRs and eventually reached a 116kg bodyweight, with slight gut. So had to go on my first caloric deficit.

    2019
    Got down to 98kg bodyweight, could see some abs so that was sweet.
    Best lifts were 185/142/212

    2020
    Fierce 5 progression got too hard so switched to 531

    All these pr's are probably my body getting used to amraps. Will probably stop next cycle. On another note: got some samd bags from 15-55kg that im going to start playing with

    Yeah man I hate amrap squats & deads. Too fatiguing and too much risk of form breakdown. Do you low bar or high bar this time around?

    I somehow find low bar squat amrap even more exhausting then deadlift.
    On that note, low bar. I tried all 3 the other day: LB, HB amd front and must say that LB feels like it works soo much more...front squats are a breeze.

    Nice work in here! 5 3 1 is an awesome protocol. I love the flexibility of the programming.

    Congrats on the PR! Years ago, I ran The Triumvirate, and honestly this was probably when I was at my best in terms of body composition and strength overall. My accessories were basically dips, pull-ups, & farmers walks. On the off days, I generally would go for a 2 mile run.

    C3W2

    Front Squat (125)
    3×90%_112.5 (9) 148 life time pr!
    Joker set 1×140
    5×5 (FSL)_87.5
    RDL (3×10)_87.5
    Suitcase walk (3-5)

    Front squat felt great, had another 1- 2 reps left in me on amrap so half way through the set decided to save some energy and do a joker. Pleasantly surprised how smooth 140kg was. Might be too early to tell but noticing that I feel bettwr on 3s week.
    On another note: i said i would switch to LB back squat but decided not to. When i did them last week i felt discomfort in my right shoulder a day after. Ill stick to healthy old front squats

    Ive always liked the look of Triumvirate but never tried it.

    Gyms are shut again, new covid cluster in my state.

    Did a sandbag workout this morning.
    Sand bag, from ground to overhead (3×1min)_35
    Lunges (3×1min)
    Dips (3×1min)
    Inverted rows (3×1min)
    Leg raises (3×1min)
    Uphill sand bag run and then run with Julie over my shoulders

    Kinda nice, felt like i was back in the army doing unit PT. Might make the next one more strength focused.

    Great work! Thank you for your service as well. I got my trap bar on Amazon for $65. It's not a Rogue, but it does the job.
