Friday:
[1x5] Olympic Squats: 315
[5x5] Incline Bench: 265, 275
[5x5] JS Rows: 285
-After each exercise per bodypart a loaded (DC) fascia stretch
- Beautiful way to close out my volume phase of the 5x5. My closing weight was 251 lbs after lifting. The ass to the grass squatting was the biggest increase for me. Back in August/Sept. '05, I tried this program for the first time and ran 4 weeks volume, 3 intensity. I ended up with 315 for 3 reps A2G. Today I did them for 6 reps, ass on calves!..Raw of course. Incline bench was also strong. I actually did my final set with 275 lbs for 5 reps..Needed a light two finger spot for the last two reps. Figured why not since it's my PR week! JS Rows were strong as usual. 285 lbs is definately right at my 5x5 max. It took me about an hour in the gym after all the warmups sets. I was so wasted afterwards that I didn't bother with any beach work (arms)..
My goal now is to continue the increases with my upper/lower body split while running some low dose SD. I'll probably stay on the upper/lower for a while until I re-ascess my goals/needs. I'm torn between powerlifting and cutting after my SD cycle. Two completely different things..
