Member 5114, 59 posts SQ 175, BP 115, DL 200490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Recognise a few lads here from West Riding Team so thought I'd Start a journal up. Training style is wendler 531. There will be plenty of vids. Newbie really. Started last year and did first comp in May lifting 160, 90 and 170. Been Working hard since and Looking forward to next comp in April. Best gym lifts to date are 170, 110 and 187.5. Below is yesterday's squat session: squats Warmups and stretching followed by 115 x 3 130 x 3 150 x 1 160 x 1 167.5 x 1 pb 170 x 1 pb Didn't even Feel that hard. Probably helped my nose tork and mates slapping my back. Also told depth was bang on so no complaints there. Sldl 2x5 110kg Done! I deffo have 180kg in me. I stopped at 170 because I was fecking tired as you can imagine. Roll on four weeks for another 1rep round! | ||

Member 5114, 59 posts SQ 175, BP 115, DL 200490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | First session back after deload week. Felt sluggish and tired. Running Bench twice a week again as it really helped combined with wendler routine when I was doing it back end of last year. Don't Feel as Strong Only doing it once. So on squats or deads day I'll be adding another Bench session in. Bench 8x3 at 50% then 5x5 4board (estimate) at 85kg Then rope pulldowns 3x12 at 55kg | ||

Bench 8x3 at 50% then 5x5 4board (estimate) at 85kg Then rope pulldowns 3x12 at 55kg Have you considered running a few cycles back to back, and only having a deload week when you really need it? If you're not feeling wrecked, you might just end up detraining a bit and feeling sluggish like you did today. | ||

I have just been running 531 without the deloads and has helped a lot and didnt feel tired. I think doing the main lifts once per week makes it hard to warrant a deload unless there is loads of assistance and other stuff going on | ||
