On your first "5's" week of your first cycle most people can get 10+ reps. Going to (near) failure on the final set is a huge part of the program. You can almost think of the other sets as warm-ups for that one money set.
The program is also intended to be used for a long time. Typically 6+...
So definitely not the workout I was hoping for.
I typically squat to a bench that I thought was parallel for me. I decided to forego that and do my squats without the bench to gauge depth.
Warm ups didn't go particularly well but I've had worse and I thought no big deal.

Been training conisistently for about 2 years. In that time I've added 60lbs to my frame and improved my lifts quite a bit (still have a long way to go).
My next training cycle is starting very soon and will be a variation of Jim Wendler's 5/3/1...
The book will explain this.
The last set is calculated off of 90% of your 1RM so its not your 5RM, 3RM or 1RM and you should be able to get extra reps. There are a million spreadsheets out there that will do the math for you and probably help this make sense a little easier for. Just google...
really good bench volume, question about the warm ups though.
It looks like you warm up to 3 plates then drop down and work back up. Is that right? Is that for CNS stimulation/supercompensation (or whatever they call it)?
parallel grip OH Press could be easier on the shoulders, its just not very practical for most people.
great job on the PR and that's a ridiculous number of swings
Nothing too crazy. Just working up to a half-way decent weight and then some accessory stuff.
