I've been tracking my progress in 5/3/1 through my website (djbeanpole.com) but since I don't have many eyes heading in that direction I thought I'd keep a log going here as well. I started 5/3/1 at the beginning of spring 2013 and I'm 5-6 months into by now. My numbers have gone up accordingly and they are either nearing or surpassing my powerlifting records from years ago.
