5/3/1 - Cycle 5, Week 1, Day 4 - Squat

Nice work with the rep PR Milk!

Thanks Al. I didn't realise it was a rep PR until I was in the bath afterwards going through my old paper training logs. Pretty happy as PRs of any kind on overhead press are few and far between for me.
 
Great job on that PR, Milky. Particularly those Joker sets in all your lifts, looking strong.
 
congrats on the rep pr! do you write them down? i had always trouble remembering my rep prs lol

Thanks kotriz, I don't keep a list of rep PRs, just have to go back through my log to remind myself from time to time. I usually have a pretty good idea on what my PRs are though.

Hey Milk!

I'm adding "FSL" to my cucyle this time around. It seems pretty light though. I see you actually do FSL. What's your plan with thses? I see various rep and set set-up? I was considering Second set last for 3x5. What do you think?

Hey Nurse. Jim Wendler states not to overthink it, so you could do 3 x 5, amrap, whatever. Recently I have been kind of doing as many reps as possible for about 5 sets, so I may get 10 or so on the first set and then 8, 6, etc. I find the weight just about right for that, definitely not too light by the time I've done my main worksets and joker sets. Good luck!

OK. After looking at the numbers I think I'll do 3 sets of 8-10. I'm not doing jokers as prescribed this time. I do box squats 5x3 and paused squats 5x3 after my main lift anyway. I am working up to my TM for a single on week 1 a double on week 2 and a triple on week 3 for a few extra sets. Might just continue with that and add the FSL.

Sounds good Nurse, good luck. Although, would you attempt to hit your TM for more if you felt you had it in you, instead of limiting it to a single, double or triple?

I suppose I could. I figure my TM will eventually get to more of an actual max in a few cycles.
