Are you sure that the 5/3/1 isn’t too slow for you? I have similar numbers to you and I’m still making linear gains with Rippetoe. [/quote]

I wouldn’t say its too slow. Probably could still get gains from Rippetoe but I like the structure of 5/3/1. I know what weighs to use, can see the progression easily and can adjust assist work as I want as long as the main lifts are going up.

3 plate squat is coming slowly but surely.

Looks like you hit good numbers on your 5/3/1 days. I think getting at least a couple reps beyond the goal number is more important mentally, than physically. Knowing you can move the weight with relative ease makes taking the next waves weight jump easier.

This week was deload, nothing worth mentioning. Alot of foam rolling back and legs feel real good. Ready for next week. Will be maxing out on week 3 before I go back to school.

Good work on BP. I bet you could press 205 for 5 reps

Squat-- 140x5, 165x5, 185x11 last rep was probably a good morning.
155x10, 135x2x10-- my legs were fried so cut the rest.
leg curls-- 5x10
weighted situps-- 5x10

squats are up from 175x5 to 185x11 in about 3 months. Could barely make it up the stairs when I got home… Gotta love it.
