getting caught up

I trained hard on Thursday, 5/26. I ended my workout with deadlift and worked up to 405 for 5 reps. I was REALLY happy with that.

I was all set to start my next round of 5-3-1, but life dictates changes and fluidity. We had the kids for Memorial Day weekend, so we did all kinds of stuff together. Movies, swimming at a lake, bowling and arcade, home-made bannana split night, skate park, and just chillaxin. The home-made bannana splits were the best part BY FAR!!!!

So my wife and I are headed to the coast on Friday and won't get back till Tuesday. As a result, I'm doing an abridged 5x5 whole body workout just to keep some degree of forward progress.

Tuesday, 5/31:


  1. Squat: 135 x 10; 185 x 10, 10; 205 x 10; 225 x 10; 245 x 10

  2. Neutral grip pullup: +25lbs x 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2 (25 total)

  3. Dips: +25lbs x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

  4. Rope grip row: 110 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

  5. Overhead press: 135 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 (HARD after all the dips)

  6. Leg press: 450 x 10, 10, 3

I'll do something like tis on Friday before we leave, and again on Wednesday when we get back next week.
