Mr.Sinister said:
How much would you estimate you put on your 1rm on bench since starting 5-3-1?
Click to expand...

Hi Sinister. Depends on how you count it. I've gone 13 cycles without resetting, so that's 65 lb. However, I've logged the entire thing & I just checked. On my first cycle I got 220 for 6 reps on week 3, which gives a 1 RM of 255. My current 1 RM is bouncing around a bit, It's somewhere between 275 and 290. So I guess realistically I've added somewhere between 20 and 35 lb. I'm pretty happy with it to tell the truth. The provincial record for Alberta Powerlifting Union for my age/weight class is 275 lb, which is close to my max. I probably couldn't do that in a competition, i.e. paused, nevertheless I think it's a good indicator.

Thanks. I'm probably at less than that, but I feel like if I just lifted I would be somewhere around that mark.

I think you must be close, I was looking at your log, I see you got 180 for 13 reps, which gives a 1 RM of 270. Looks like you're doing the Westside program these days? How do you find it?

Notes: Didn't even get close to my target weight (280) today, too much holidays, just not feeling it. Not a big deal, 265 is still pretty good.
 
Yeah, the 270 is way high. I'm guessing around 240 is closer. I do the higher rep ranges because I need more TUT for grappling. I'm still doing 5-3-1 but I put in some speed work on OHP and DL days. I'd rather do plyo's but my new setup doesn't allow it. My ceilings are only like 7 foot and I don't have any floor space. I'm down to an 18'x18' space from my old 24'x40'

You have a home gym? Damn I'm jealous.
 
Yeah, it's really nice to have a well equipped home setup. Here it is before I moved.

I actually have a little more equipment now, but no mat space or bags.

Hey Sinister. I think I'm just going to suck it up & reset. I really want to bench 300 lb, but I'd also like to do it on a regular basis as part of my program rather than just a 1 time thing.
 
Yeah, if you're ready, just reset. I reset on my bench and OHP, and squat. I see resetting again late spring early summer again. Or else I might try conjugate for a while. It's been some time since I've done a conjugate template.
