      Jeremy's continuing Journey

      Hey Brothers,

      This last month was a big eye opener for me and my training. I cut down from 195 to 155 in order to step on stage in October and came away with 3 trophies. It's not about the trophies but the fact that I placed in the middle of the pack shows that I was good enough to be on stage but not quite good enough to think I can step up to the next level yet.

      I have to go back and make some changes and make some improvements. I switched my training up to the 5/3/1 system and so far I like it. I set all my maxes, which are much lower than they were before the cut, and have 1 week in the books.

      I'll post up my #'s soon and how it's going. I'm looking to stay much leaner and make some big gains this year.

      Jeremy

      First week results

      I started 5/3/1 on Oct 25 and will run it for as long as I can. I set my maxes on the same day as I ran week 1 so I don't really know how that will affect future weeks but it will all work out in the end I believe.

      Here is a breakdown of the daily stuff and what I set my maxes at.

      Week 1
      Standing Military Press Max 165 10/25/2010
      105 x 5, 125 x 5, 140 x 5
      Deadlift Max 365 10/27/2010
      235 x 5, 275 x 5, 310 x 5
      Bench Press Max 275 10/29/2010
      180 x 5, 205 x 5, 235 x 6
      Squat Max 385 11/01/2010
      250 x 5, 290 x 5, 315 x 5 ( I was supposed to hit 325 for 5 but I was not reasdy for that.

      Bumped up 5 Lbs this week on Upper body and supposed to go up 10 for legs but I'm keeping it the same for another week. As I said before I'm still not back to what I was at before but I'll slowly make my way back.

      Friday Update on Training

      Today wrapped up another week of 5/3/1. I only go M/W/F so I'm always going to be lifting on a different day due to the 4 lifts in the system.

      Wednesday 11/03/2010 (Standing Military Press)
      120x 3, 135 x 3, 155 x 4.5
      Accesory Lifts (I always superset my accesory lifts to keep things going. They always seem to be a good match for the superset and it saves more time while still getting the job done)
      Dips 5x15
      Chin Ups 5X10

      Friday 11/05/2010 (Deads)
      230 x 3, 265 x 3, 295 x 8
      Accesory Lifts
      Good Mornings 5 x 12 x 95lbs
      Hanging Leg Raises 5 x 15

      As a side note, I have given up on the wrist straps for the next 6 month that I run this program. I figure that if I'm doing power lifting type lifts, I should adhere to the powerlifting way. I'll still use knee wraps and a belt for squatting. The belt I only use as a reminder to flex my core hard while squating, and unless I get over about 365 I really don't use it.

      Deads say looks spot on! It must have been awesome to pull 8 on a 3+ day. Can't wait to see what you got in store for max effort week!

      Also, I definitely like the idea of ditching the straps. It helped my grip a ton when I stopped using em for deadlifting. Good old chalk was my best friend.

      Nice!
      I have a week under my belt in the 5/3/1 as well. I am curious to see how as a bodybuilder this works for you. I will be definitely following along and supporting.
      Respect,

      "I want to think deeply and be enraged and laugh uncontrollably and cry sincerely and love fully. I lust to feel life with all of my being, not to merely survive it, escaping out the other end unscathed only to find death waiting for me like a chauffeured black sedan, the reaper holding my name card. Fuck that. I want to be moved." G Diesel, DOAM #215
