Ran 531 for awhile now, stopped for a month.. reset maxes by about 1 or 2 cycles to play it safe... question is should I continue to ride out those numbers for a long time, or adjust maxes after I deload ? And by ran for awhile I mean a year off and on due to military training and such... (these are th PR set weight and reps, week 1 5+, week 2 3+, and week 3 1+)


Cycle A - week 1 thro 3
Bench - 160x10 / 170x10 / 180x9
DL - 295x12 / 310x12 / week 3 skipped and went and got 455 x1, new 1rm PR
OHP. - 110x12 / 115x11 / 125x10
Squat. - 205x11 / 225x12 / 235x12

Cycle B - week 1 thro 3
bench - 170x14 / 180x10 / 190x8
DL - 305x14 / 320x4 / 345x2 week 2 and 3 got required reps +1, 465x1 new 1rm pr
ohp. - 115x12 / 120x10 / 130x7
Squat - 225x12 / 240x10 / 250x9


So, easily got required reps on PR sets... DL I normally don't got for 1rm like that when running 531 but was feeling froggy, previous 1rm was 425 before last 2 cycles... thanks!
 
I'd leave it how it is and see how things for for a few cycles. No sense in constantly changing it. Let the program work itself out.
 
CL rep? Favorite company, and alright.. only changed once like.I said above but not constantly, thanks for your opinion

It was just a general statement and wasn't meaning that you did it constantly. A lot of people tweak their training maxes a lot when really they should ride it out. That's all. Good luck with the training! 531 is great.

Glad you support CL, man!
