Ha that's it for now in terms of 1RM attempts, gonna stick to trying AMAP on working sets as per 5/3/1 probably until the winter when I might be tempted to try for 1RMs again.

Thanks KT, as per my above post to Lifter, gonna ease off the 1 rep max attempts for a while and try and grab AMRAP on sets as per 5/3/1. Will test again in the winter, 400 would be nice, but we'll see..
 
Meant to be deloading this week but figured I'd save it for when I have a week off work in 2 weeks time. Today just did a couple of rounds boxing bagwork, and a couple of (long) rounds on the pads, alternating with my training partner. Planning on either lifting tomorrow, or doing some more boxing.
 
MilkMan, I'm trying to set up a Front Squat Competition. Sign and Rules Thread is in the Forum, if you're interested.

Cheers scoop!

I'm kind of messing about for the next few sessions as I am going to time my deload to coincide with my next week off work, which is the week after next.
I don't want to start another 5/3/1 cycle only to have a week off midway through, so I am kind of going off programme until then and then will start cycle 7 when I return fully refreshed from my week off.

Anyway, hit the gym today with a sore back, nothing lifting related, but think I may have over extended something a little while boxing yesterday and it has bothered me since.

Was going to do some O/H Press but decided on squatting instead:

Squats:
20kg x 5
20kg x 5
70kg x 5
90kg x 5
120kg x 5
140kg x 1
150kg x 1
160kg x 1
170kg x 1 - New 1RM PR!

I know I said I was going to lay off the 1RM attempts for a while, but it was too tempting, and I figured why not, seeing as I haven't started my new 5/3/1 cycle yet.

Very pleased with this, will drink beer tonight.

ahh no I'll pass thanks KT, have never front squatted in my life for my sins and I am kind of relieved the last competition has come to an end to be honest.

Thanks though and good luck!

Hey Milk, don't worry about going for the new 1 rep maxes, keep it going till you stall. Think of it this way, you may never be stronger than you are now. I keep sayin it but MILK it for all its worth. Plenty of time to reset ( recycle) when the gains dry up.
I've been guilty in the past of not pushing further after hitting a planned goal, recycling and taking forever to get back to that planned 1rm. So keep going, ( good form safety wise of course):wink:

Thanks Bull, I have taken your comments on board, I think you're right, so will keep pushing.

Todays training

Boxing
Heavybag work - few rounds with hands, legs, knees and elbows
Heavy pear shaped maize bag work - few rounds, "dirty" boxing, sneaky elbows and headbutts.
Finished off session with a minute of craziness on the heavybag, going all out, full power on every technique for 1 minute.

Day on the beach planned for tomorrow and a curry at night for recovery.
 
At home until Thursday, so just playing with the Heavy Grips while watching Beethoven with my son.

HG100 x 10 both hands
HG100 x 10 both hands inverted
HG100 x 10 both hands
HG100 x 10 both hands inverted

HG150 x 8 both hands
HG150 x 8 both hands inverted

HG200 x 3 both hands
HG200 x 3 both hands
HG200 x 3 both hands

HG250 x fail both hands, fairly close to closing with my right hand though.

First bit of grip work I have done for a while.
