Whiskey, War, Suicide, and Guns

I've been doing HITT type stuff on lower body days and steady state cardio on upper days. This groups more intensive stressors together and less intensive stressors together for better recovery. Going to the gym for the sole purpose of steady state cardio is waste of my time. If I'm there I'll just get it done. Otherwise I'll take the dogs to the park.

So are you trying to keep your weight down to compete in the 220s? I forget where your weight is at.

I asked originally because I thought you were using that slow treadmill work as active recovery on off days.
 
Squatting and deadlifting are harder than benching and pressing. HITT is harder than SS crap. Harder stuff/easy stuff. Doing the treadmill the day after lower body days still helps my lower body recover, and getting the HR up for 30 minutes when you are sedentary at a desk all day is good for overall health and burns some fat. I weigh 225ish. If I was trying to lose weight I'd be doing a hell of a lot more cardio.

Thanks. I didn't realize you had deadlifted yesterday. I may try to do something similar when I finish SS and move on to some kind of split.

Good day. I believe 395x8 done ~two months ago was my old PR. My camera died after the first set. I tried to collect batteries from the remote controls on the treadmills but they were all AAA. FML. Got done in under an hour today, still feeling the effects of last weekend. I'm such a pussy. Me and Godsen are going to do some epic eating Saturday so hopefully I'm whipped back into shape to do some more volume next week.
 
A few people PM'ed me and asked for my old 5/3/1 spreadsheet. I can't find the old link, so here's a new one. It's updated and much nicer. There is a sheet for 5% and 10% jumps, and boxes off the print area to calculate your 1RM. Those of you who aren't Office-tards can even make fancy graphs with the data after a few cycles.

Nice Squatting. Thanks for the spreadsheet, though i am unsure why my maxes are not matching up.
