5/3/1 Training Log

jt11 · February 1, 2010, 11:18am

Just completed my first cycle of 5/3/1

Starting weights (Conservative):
Bench = 95kg
Deadlift = 170kg
Military = 65kg
Squat = 105kg (Shit)

Training Max’s
Bench = 85kg
Deadlift = 153kg
Military = 60kg
Squat = 95kg

           5 Rep Week	3 Rep Week	        5/3/1  Week
    9 Reps (52.5kg)	10 Reps (55kg)	8 Reps (57.5Kg)             MILITARY
      15 reps (80kg)	12 Reps (85kg)	12 Reps (90kg)               SQUAT
  12 Reps (72.5kg)	9 reps (77.5kg)	8 Reps (80kg)                 BENCH
   13 Reps (130kg)	10 Reps (137.5kg)	6 Reps (145kg)       DEADLIFT

How does everything Look?

Too conservative on the weights?

P.S I am 17 years old, and haven’t been weightlifting for too long!

Thanks A lot,

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking of starting the BBB template for my second cycle. It would look something like this:

Assistance
Deadlift BBB Hanging leg raises DB Rows
Bench BBB Dips
Squat BBB Hamstring Curls
Military BBB Incline BB Press Chins

I want to bring up my bench, so i have added incline bench as assistance for military days as i figured it may help my bench too.

What do you think of this assistance setup?
I know assistance is not overly important, but i would just like to get a second opinion.

Thanks!

MILITARY + BBB style Dips + Chins
