Wendler's 5/3/1


Military Press Day


Military Press
5x70
3x80
7x90

I was only supposed to do 3 reps in the first set! The last set I was happy to do 7 (the last rep was brutally hard and I don't think I could have eked out anymore reps).


Chin-ups
3 sets of 4 with 45 sec rest

I cut down my rest time by 15 seconds. It seemed to workout well

Alternating sets
DB Incline

Set x rep x lbs
3 x 10 x 40(e)

One arm DB Farmers Walk
Set 1: 60lbs walked for 30 seconds each side
Set 2: 50lbs walked 30 seconds each side
Set 3: 40lbs walked 60 seconds each side

I've never done the farmer's walk before so I thought it be fun to give it a try. I was experimenting with different weights to figure out what's best. The 60lbs was too heavy and I was leaning too much. The 50lbs was good but still seemed to much. The 40lbs burned my forearms a lot because it was for 60 seconds. I noticed that the longer the hold, the more it works the forearms, while the shorted the time the more it worked the abs (because it was heavier).

I think I might hit 45lbs for 30 seconds and see how that feels.

As an aside, I think my knee is fully recovered, but I want to finish the cycle before jumping back with lower body stuff
