Felt bad ass the whole time so I feel like I should’ve had 5 or 6 reps but the gym I was at today had no chalk and heat index was over 100 degrees today so my hands weren’t cooperating.

Deload week is done and I’m sick of doing light weights. Monday will be 5+ max rep on deads and military press

New training maxes for cycle 3 will be:
Military 185
Deadlift 495
Bench 285
Squat 400

How are you liking 5/3/1? Also, are you supposed to reset your maxes after each cycle, or are you doing that for shits and giggles? You’re a beast!

Thanks! And I am loving 5/3/1, just repped my old military press max for 4 reps, my Deadlift has increased by about 100 pounds in only 2 months, and bench and squat also continually improve. I even added in conditioning work and since the program is so simple, it doesn’t hinder recovery any, probably helps if anything. And I dont know if I’m supposed to be upping training maxes after each cycle but it’s working great for me so far so I’m not going to try and fix it
