I'm happy with this. Can't wait until I'm hitting 225 for reps!

Chin ups
bw x 8,7ish,6.5ish,4,

A little bit better than last time. All I can ask for.

Thoughts

A good start to week 3 of the 5/3/1. Woohoo!

Some good news: I measured the old biceps the other day and the right is 15.75" and the left is 15.5". This is an inch up from last time I measured (long ago) but I'm still happy. Improvements are good!

Oh and thanks Hits! I already feel like I could smash that weight if I were to do it again.

Deadlifts
mobility
60kg x 5
80kg x 5
100kg x 3

125kg x 5
140kg x 3
157.5kg x 8

Wow, this was a ridiculous pull. I let out a war cry to beat all others on the last rep. lol But my form held together. It puts my "theoretical max" up to 199kg .... which is a significant increase from last time. I'm very happy with this.


Thoughts

Well I told my partner if I got 157.5kg x 8 and he got 220kg x 4 then we would just pack it in and call it a win. Well we both got what we were looking for. Awesome!

This is an all time PR for deadlifts. Finally, I'm up and over my pre-injury numbers!

Side note: My workout partner did 220kg x 1 when we started 5/3/1 and now he did it for 4. He has also lost almost 40lb along the way!

Thoughts

Was supposed to do my MP at lunch today but my car wouldn't start cause it was -30C ... had to take a taxi to work so I couldn't get to the gym at noon. WAH!

I'll condense Thursday and Friday into tomorrow's workout.
