Quick Update
For the past 3 weeks I have been doing some low volume stuff,as I have been really busy , I also switched the bench press for the floor press as I got stuck on 86 kilos
My current PR's are
Squat 132.5k x 3
Bench 86 x 3
Floor press 88.5k x 3
Deadlift 185k x 5
I have decided to give the 5/3/1 routine a go, it has had some rave reviews and its pretty simple with not to many exercises only really the basics, no need for any head fuck improvisations with my basic gear, like reverse hypers, GHR's etc.
I know it is recomended to reduce your 1 RM percentages by 10% but the only problem with this is its going to be weeks even months before you start on PR weights.
For now I have reduced my 1RM percentages so that when I hit the third wave the 1's set will be the same sort of weight I have been using for my current PR 3's and 5's.
Ill try this if I burn out before I finish the first cycle ill deload and start lower.
I have so far done an OHP x5 and a squat x5 workout the OHP one went pretty well, the squat one was a bit brutal but I managed to get all 5 reps on the final set I could have maxed out on 6 or maybe even 7 but for the first wave im just going to stick to 5 reps.
The only little tweak I have added is a couple of sets of Bi & Tri exercises each cycle also im doing the strength version (not the bodybuilder)
