    ^Yup. That is the routine I am using / have been using for the last 6 months. Highly recommend 531.
  8. SWAGGER Log: Confidence, Concentration, Energy

    531 Conditioning Day Jogged to river bottom and ran 10 hills. About 40 mins of cardio total. If you a familiar with 531, this type of conditioning is encouraged 2-3 times per week. I haven't been doing this regularly and sometimes I feel that I don't really need it, but I want to see how I...

  10. SWAGGER Log: Confidence, Concentration, Energy

    ^I work up to 115-120lbs or so and then work back down. Once I start working with 135+, my form goes to **** and I don't get much out of it. Good idea. Start with just the bar. I don't feel that anything hits the low back and hams like strick good mornings. I slowly bend over and feel the...

    Squat: 190x5, 220x3, 245 x 5, 255 x 1, 260 x 1 Good mornings: 5 sets of 10 Calves: 4 sets of 10 Squat session was good. Next time I will focus on forcing my knees out a bit when hitting the very bottom of depth of my squat. 255 was no problem, neither was 265 and these were both after my "work...

    Agreed. I haven't any type of crashing so far. So far, I feel I am very responsive to just 2-3 caps per day. Energy has been great and I feel mood has improved as well.

    I have been using Jim Wendler's 531 with some good success. Typically, I train 3 days a week and then a day or two of cardio during the week.
