Did not have access to a real gym or any barbells for a while. Got back to barbell training recently. Should be able to now consistently have a gym for the foreseeable future. I will be doing 5/3/1 because I have always had success with the program. Goal is to get stronger at the 4 main lifts.

Got to the gym at odd times this past week for quick sessions with no assistance. Next week will add assistance (upper pulling, abs, etc.). Felt tired on squat workout. Will decide next workout if squat TM needs to be decreased.

Heh, it looks like you’re almost dead on with where I am numbers-wise. I’m doing a similar program as well, except I’m using first set last plus another 1-2 accessory for 3 sets instead of 5x10 BBB. I’ve found that at my age 5x10 tends to wreck my recovery, but hopefully it will work for you. I’m in to see if how long I can keep pace with a young pup!
