I've been working at the CoC grippers sort of randomly since I got them for christmas and I'm already much improved. Shouldn't be long before I have to order the 1.5 or 2!

We had an impromptu heavy day. Not an optimal day with 5 hours sleep and after the work sets (not to mention just after 10 days not in the gym!) but hey, sitll came out with a 5lb PR. I think I might have 295-305lb in me on a solid day.

Well next week we're back at the 5/3/1 in full force. Not sure if we'll hit week 2 or week 3 yet but we'll see.

I needed 9 reps to match my cycle from before xmas. I did 10 reps but the 10th was a bit hairy (ass came off the bench).

1 more rep off the start but I still die off real fast after that.

Had sh!t to do 2nite so we did the "jack shit" style workout 2nite ... if you've ever read the 5/3/1 ebook.

I was lacking energy but still managed to match my lift from before xmas so I'm ok with that.

Way to many n00bs crawling around the cable machine. Fcvk it.


Thoughts

My squats felt strong today. Felt like I maybe had another rep in me.

Also: last night my right bicep was 15.75" and my left is 15.5". I haven't measured in quite a while but it's up over an inch so that's good!

Nice squat PR Dub!
