Bench press-
230x5
265x3
295x4
Weak. Idk how I can go from 280x9 to 295x4 in a week. All I can say is that I started my "diet" this past week, which has really consisted of not eating for 8+ hours at a time, mostly because of the time constraints at my job.
Bench (assistance)-
185- 5x10
Rack lockouts-
315x5
345x5
370x5
Bicep stuff- 4x10
Weight is at 209 (havent been below 210 in months).

I wouldn't worry. 5/3/1 is set up exactly with this in mind. As long as you hit the prescribed reps, you get to keep progressing. Sometimes we have shitty days. In fact Danny's number is 1 out of every 8 workouts will probably be shitty. Only if its significantly more than this should you worry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting it in perspective Shanker. I have been hitting some pretty good PRs lately, so I'll just keep what you said in mind. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI think usually (but not always) as the weight gets heavier the amount of reps you get decreases. It's probably just bro-science though ; )
ReplyDeleteHaha, very astute observation man, didn't know that. I just didn't think it'd drop by that much. I was repping 290- 3x5 three weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteSome days are better than others. Just make sure that the long term trend is upward, even with the blips along the way.
