JizzNibblet's 5/3/1 Log

I’ll be starting to log my workout, diet as well as pictures up here. I’ll be taking every months and try to compare progress as the time goes.

A little background: I started going in the gym about a little over a year ago. I started with Starting strength and I moved to 5/3/1 today. Since I’m starting fresh on a new program I figured I’d log it to see progress over time.

Here’s my template:

Maxes 5/3/1
Squat 365
Deadlift 405
OH Press 160 ( Push Press )
Bench 270

Chin ups between every Pushing exercise

squats 5/3/1
sldl
Front Squats
Leg curls
DB Hammer Curls
abs

bench 5/3/1
incline db press (3-4 sets)
weighted dips (3-4 sets)
Triceps pushdown (2-3 sets)
Seated Flies (3-4 sets)

Powerclean 3x5
deadlifts 5/3/1
Pendlay Rows (3-4 sets)
weighted Pull ups (3-4 sets)
Good Mornings (3-4 sets)
abs

Push Press 5/3/1
seated db press (2-3 sets)
laterals raises (3 sets)
Bent over Lateral raises 3-4 sets
Shrugs (2-3 sets)

I don’t really know how many sets/reps I’ll do for accessories. It’s the first time I train with that much volume so I’ll have to check it out.

So for the training…

Squats;

Warmup:
1x5 45
1x5 45

Hanging leg raises ( from bottom to top )

1x3
These kicked my ass, They’re pretty difficult but I definitely felt them. I’ll try to build them up and get more reps in the next time I perform them.
I might also add in some decline weighted sit ups for a while since I don’t get much work off the leg raises, too little reps.

I’m pretty stoked about the workout. I can’t wait to be a few cycles further and see how it all comes together.

Diet wise I messed up a little today. I went out to the store to buy a scale and I have horrible planning/cooking skills so I didn’t make anything to bring along and since I decided not to resort to some fast food to get the cals in, I’ve been waiting for four hours between my 2nd and 3rd meal. Bad move.

9h30: 4 eggs/ 280 calories, 24g of protein

10h30: 1 cup of oatmeal/ 360 calories, 12g of protein

2h30: Post workout shake/ 440 calories, 32g of protein

4h20: 140g of lean chicken breast with 1 cup of rice/ 428 calories, 42g of protein.

(I’m not positive how much calories there is in the chicken breast, there are no nutrition facts on the package and I’ve found some sites that state different amounts. What I got is 140g = 38.3g of protein and 258 calories, hope it’s accurate). Same goes for the rice, the bag had a hole in it so we put it in some pot. Problem is I forgot to keep the package so I don’t have the nutrition facts on it either. On some site it told me that 1 cup of converted rice is 170 calories and 4g of protein.

5h40: 1 cup of oatmeal/ 360 calories, 12g of protein
