I'm following Wendler's 5/3/1 buddy, I've never followed any proper structure such as this so I'm hoping it will yield some good gains.

Today my planned workout was:

Press: 
62.5kg x 5
70kg x 3
80kg x 1+
42.5kg x 10
42.5kg x 10
42.5kg x 10
42.5kg x 10
42.5kg x 10

Assistance lift: Chins:
+12.5kg x 8
+12.5kg x 8
+12.5kg x 8


My actual workout was:

Press: 
62.5kg x 5
70kg x 3
80kg x 5
42.5kg x 10
42.5kg x 10
42.5kg x 10
42.5kg x 10
42.5kg x 10

Assistance lift: Chins:
+12.5kg x 8
+12.5kg x 8
+20kg x 6

Session review
Very good session, I was hoping for 4 on 80kg press. The final rep was a real grinder though, new rep PB for this.

Session overview

It was my girlfriends Birthday today so I couldn't stay a long time hence no assistance lifting. 215 or 6 or 7 was the target so I was on track there. I think if really pushed I could have done another rep, but then I'd have really struggled with the high rep sets that followed.

Great session today, I went in hoping to get 6 reps on 117.5kg but I exceeded those expectations. On first impressions this routine seems to be working for me.

Session overview
A little disappointing, my squat strength seems weaker than 6 weeks ago where I managed 155kg for 6 reps. It seems my legs are still getting used to the higher rep sets. Hopefully the next cycle there will be a marked improvement.

I was feeling fresh after the first cycle so decided against a deload week. I will listen to my body and give myself a deload week when I feel it will aid my lifting.

Today my planned workout was:

Press: 
65kg x 5
67.5kg x 5
72.5kg x 5+
42.5kg x 10
42.5kg x 10

110kg x 6
120kg x 6
125kg x 6
100kg x 8

Session review
I almost got 9 reps on the shoulder press, ended up doing rows as the gym was heaving and the chinning bar located by the cable machines were too busy. Rows felt good, the heaviest set of rows was a struggle on the final rep.

Session overview

Very noticeable improvement since the same workout on the last cycle. Threw in a few heavy singes, just to test the water, 240kg was a bit slow, but I was pre-exhausted.

Not a bad session, equal a previous rep PB on this lift, but it would have been even nicer have beaten it. Bodyweight slowly increasing. 103kg today.

Fantastic session on the bench, I was hoping for 9 reps, Really pleased to have gotten 10 today. The 2 reps on 130kg was easy, I'd have gotten 3 without a doubt if it wasn't for the big set that was previously lifted.
