Deload week aka momentum killer
actually, these next 3 weeks are going to push my buttons on patience and try to kill my momemtum
things are going great right now in every aspect of lifting and life…just recalculated the 1RM from the formula in 5/3/1…i am excited to take on this next cycle and knock out these new numbers like the dirty hookers they are
i thought about skipping this deload week and starting my 2nd cycle today; however, i have a colonoscopy, err “a procedure”, this friday…can’t eat after 0700 thursday morning until sometime friday evening…so, there goes that idea
so, i am making today and tomorrow be my deload week
tonight was OHP and DL
OHP:
45 x 5 x 2
50 x 5 x 1
DL:
95 x 5 x 1
117.5 x 5 x 1
142.5 x 5 x 1
done and done
for extra work, i’m going to catch my breath and do Cosgrove’s so that maybe, just maybe, i can move over 10,000 lbs tonight
i’m going to be living off Cosgrove’s the rest of this month - that and some sort of mobility work…in addition to this week being shot i present to you the other week that is going to screw up my lifting: Christmas week…another road trip to Casper Wed-Fri and there goes that week for lifting too
i’ll take my barbell and 10-15lbs and knock out some Cosgrove’s while i’m up there
anyhow, i guess i’ll start my 2nd 5/3/1 cycle next week…i’ll do 1 week, then use part of Christmas week, before i head up to Casper, to work on my push by doing OHP and BP, since they are my weakest lifts…figure the extra work can’t hurt them
then, the 29th i’ll be back in business, picking up cycle2 week2
ughhhh, seems so far off (there’s that patience i mentioned lacking)
btw, if any of this seems like a bad idea, or any of you have better ideas how to handle this mess of time off this month, i am all ears…i’m making most of this up as i go
oh well, i’m off to do some “cardio”
have a great night, everybody
