  • General: Good end to my first real week of 5/3/1. I think it may be more practical some weeks to pair the bench and deadlift together on Friday as opposed to doing the bench on Saturday, as it is for me tomorrow and next week. Two solid PR's, I had 10 in the bag with bench which has been a goal of mine for some time but I hit the pins on the 9th rep and knocked the rep down. By the time I locked it out I was gassed. Excuses excuses....
  • Nutrition: Clean. pretty much flawless.
  • Body: Overall I feel good. I like doing individual muscle groups as I think it'll benefit me a lot to not work my upperbody until next Wednesday for recovery and growth purposes.
  • Sleep: 9 hours.
  • Reflections: All in all pleased with this week of strength training. Tomorrow I'm going to Lithia springs to get a run in. I've got enough supplies packed for at least two hours on the trails and as an added bonus I'm going to see how far I can go with no food to see how my body responds. I'll be carrying food with me though. Looking ahead to next week I have my MTEL test so I probably won't have time to long run unless I push it to Sunday but that's up in the air as of now.
