Lots of Band work this week.
Stretches and hip flexors. Didn't get a chance to do any yoga , but I am waking up in the morning pain free.
Today's workout
worked up to 225x20 squats , 135x35 bench . Some tricep work also.
35 minutes of cardio too.
Feeling good and I'm ready for some more heavy weight !

I'm envious.
If it wasn't for guys like you ( and Ive gotten to know a few over the years ) I wouldn't even take the time to do recovery work.
Glad I can be an example of what not to do! LOL!!!
Seriously, though, good job taking the down time that you need and doing the recovery work necessary to keep you at your best.
Dec 12th
Just coming off my deload so I want to test out my max squat and possibly my bench on Monday. Then I will take a few days off and get back on the 5/3/1 program.
Squat ME
Briefs only
135x8
225x6
315x4
405x2
single suit on straps down
495x1
545x1
wrapped knees and put suit up.
545x2 ( first one was high so I did another)
565x1 - had Mike call depth, looked good , video to come later.
Thought about going to 585 , but I went against it.
Finish off with some leg curls , leg presses and abs.
coooool!! send me a pm discussing ur basic deload i want to compare with my current understanding bud
---Jack at Ya!
Will do . Basically I just go with how I feel and take some me time for recovery
Dec 14th ( -37c )
my plain was to suit up and go heavy with my bench , but my partner didn't show up or respond to my messages . I just went on with the 5/3/1 because I don't feel like ****in around anymore.
Instead of starting with the squat I started with the bench and I'll push the squat to the end of the week ( program week ) which will give me a good 5-7 days after going heavy on Saturday.
Bench
240x5 , 255x5, 275 x 5+3(8 total) didn't wantto chance another with nobody in the gym.
Front delt plate raises with 45lb plate.
3x12
lying body cross over triceep extensions
3x15 @ 35lb db
finished with dips and pushups 3x12 s.s
weigh in at a FAT 241

Depth looked good.
I think I could have gotten 575 , but my head was ready to explode ! Hopefully I will hit 600 by the end of January.
Nice job!! Ya depth looked really good. Good tight form from what i could see.
