Squat 3x5 @ 385,415,435 ( briefs only ) Last set I did one extra rep , but didn't get low enough at all . Other than that my reps were comp low.

1/4 squats ( two pins down ) - 500 x 5 , 570 x 5 , 655 ( unracked , took two steps back and then re-racked it , just didn't feel good )

Walking Lunges ( skipped , running out of time )

Abs - Hanging ab raises ( I like these because it's also working my grip )

Done at 5:20 am

I'm thinking about doing the IPC comp in November , not 100% yet as my company Christmas party is the night before. I wasn't planning on doing anything until next April with GPC , but I think this may be a good op for some more experience. I don't think my lifts are up any since my last meet , but it would great to do this and get in with some drug free competitors

Just found out that I can't because I've never done one before. I'm part of the GPC fed. However I will be able to do an IPC in January if i want to take the 8hr drive .

I think this works out better , since I'm training the 5/3/1 I should be able to be at record numbers by then.

Started feeling the cold / flu coming on later in the day . Still recovering from this workout . Trying to get lots of vitamins and fluids in so I can get back in the gym as it's my last week of weights before I have to deload.

Finally back after a week off with a lung infection. The cough is still there , but healing up nice.

I thought I was going to be a bit weaker coming back and I was going to do a few days of full body workouts , but once I got into the gym I thought against it and continued on to my last week of the 5 3 1 .
