Squat: 140x5, 160x5, 180x5, 140x5x5
Bench: 120x5, 135x5, 155x5, 120x5x5
Circuit: DB squats 65x15, x20, x15, Push ups (+ROM) x15x2, x20, Pull ups x5x5, Hanging leg raises or decline Sit-ups x10x5
The main lifts are starting to feel like work finally, leaving less energy for the assistance, but that’s the way it should be. I banged out the min reps for DB squats and push ups in 3 sets and spread out the pull ups and abs over 5 sets. Im still supersetting squat warm ups and mains with push ups, bench warm ups and mains with pull ups, FSL squats and bench with face pulls.
I might switch to a different template after this cycle or next. I want to get in more zone 2 cardio, at least 2 days for an hour each time. I’m not going to cut weight or anything I just want to get my base cardio better because I think it will help me have more energy and recover better between sessions.

Circuit: KB swing 24kg x20, TRX inverted row x15, Dips x11, Ab wheel x10 or leg raise station x10. 5 times through.
I didn’t have another press rep beyond that 115x5, or If I did it would have been an absolute garbage grinder. I pushed the assistance circuit a little harder today.

Fuck yeah, I didn’t know if I would be able to get that top press set but I got it without running into a full on grind, though I don’t think I could have done another rep. I have a cold and I’m sore from squats and running the last 2 days but everything went well today. Gonna chill tomorrow.

Packed gym had to bench first, there was nowhere to do super sets during bench either so a lot of those sets were out. Felt tough overall today, joints not happy. Maybe I’ll do bike instead of running tomorrow.

I really like this program, I feel good after every session. I don’t get that satisfaction of hitting rep PRs every workout like original 531 but I still feel like I accomplished something after every workout, like I took a step toward completing the whole cycle.

45 min LISS on elliptical avg HR 134. I really hated that. I thought it might feel better on my knees than running 3-5 miles. I forgot my headphones too and just stared at the wall the whole time.
