Hard Conditioning
 
This was a good week. Next week the supplemental sets can be BBB or BBS, thinking I’ll do BBB for squats and bench and BBS for press and deadlift. Mixing it up will be fun I think and give me some exposure to different supplemental. Gonna push hard next week on lifting and do two days of steady conditioning as well as two hard sessions.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

I have a suspicion your strength is going to take off from this new template, the amount of primary work you’re now getting. Keep it up!

It’s been fun to mix it up a bit and I’ve learned about some of Jim’s other supplemental options. I’ve been looking through some of the other templates in Forever and am pumped to try some others as well.

Weights seem to be going well. Two PRs in a row now? Template must be working!

I’d have to sift thru my training notebook to see if they are true PRs.

I’m enjoying going down to the basement to lift/condition. I strayed from 5/3/1 a bit in the summer and I just don’t understand why I get distracted from what has worked for me.

Good luck on your final meet prep!
