I am using 5/3/1 And am currently on the second week. Its the first time I,ve really followed a laid out program. My goals are this. I want to gain or maintain strength while losing fat. I am tired of all the excess pounds I am carrying. Don’t really care what my weight is, just as long as I’m losing fat. So I will do 5/3/1 and try to eat clean. Not counting calories or anything like that yet. The first goal is just to start eating better in general. Had my body fat measured 33%. Goal is 15%.
Im starting with bench I did this on Wens day 12-14

Had two forms of cardio today. I did 15 minutes on the treadmill as usual. I also cut down some trees. And split the logs. Which is a pretty damn good workout. I decided to start logging what I eat as well.
I slept in today sooo
11:00 am 4 eggs, 3 chicken sausages, strawberries, protein shake.
2:00 pm Turkey sandwhich, onion soup, mac and cheese
6:00 pm Another turkey sandwhich, apple, chips… a small bag
9:00pm protein shake, banana, apple

Well the holidays have been crazayyy. I didn’t even log what I ate. But I know it was allot of stuff I shouldn’t have lol. Squats tomorrow. Not looking forward to that. My knee is still being a bitch. I already hot it looked at. And of course the doctor said what I already knew he would. " You have to give it rest. Don’t lift heavy weights. " Well I have a meet in march so I kinda have to get ready for that! Oh well I shall see how it goes tmmrw. I’m debating on maybe using knee wraps to support my tendons for a while. Maybe it will help?

Do you ever use knee sleeves?

x2 all my knee pain was gone after a few weeks plus the proprioceptive feedback can lead to PR’s.
I actually have used knee sleeves. But they were 2xl. And after a while got to loose. so I’m thinking maybe if I order a size smaller. I would have better support.
Was bench night tonight. Brought two new people to the gym. Trying to get enough peeps for a team. So hopefully that works out. Diet is getting back on track after the holidays. man i love food lol. Training was good, I love bench. My little bro benched 135 and is only 15. I found that impressive.

135x10x1
225x10x1
