deadlift working 365x2, 405x1
deadlift cooldown 225x5, 225x1

Weight (Today): 177 lb

Notes: Was utterly wrecked by this point, and Monday's failed reps cemented my decision to just get my deadlift PR and take a long break.  Today was my first gym day since that Wednesday.  Going to try dropping a little weight again, as I've become a mildly fluffy.

Weight (Saturday): 176 lb

Notes:  Crappy week.  Regressed on standing presses from prior cycle.  Initially got the smooth bar for deads on Tuesday and couldn't hold onto it, so I wasted a ton of time unloading/loading to hit a double instead of a triple.  No improvement on bench, and I'm worried that I'm not getting good depth on my peak squat working sets.  Not sure if the diet's just not working, or if I've run the course on 5/3/1.  All I know right now is that I'm finishing the cycle.

Weight (Saturday): 177 lb

Notes:  Disappointments on Tuesday and Thursday. Pushing up against my current 5RMs (which are disappointingly lower than 5RMs I used to have).  I think this may be my last cycle of 5/3/1 for awhile.  My usual problem -- the program improves 1RM at the expense of 5RM and 3RM-- took a lot longer to surface this time 'round, but I attribute that largely to me eating at a significant surplus for the last couple of months.  I want to at least finish the cycle, because if I can hit the singles targets next week, I'll have 4 new PRs, and finally hit 4 plates for deadlift.  I'm nervous about hitting all the triple targets this week, though, so fingers crossed.

Notes: Decent week, but not a lot of sets in excess of target.  Injured knuckle held me back from hitting the triple on Tuesday's deads, but I still think I can hit the single target for next week.

Weight (Saturday): 176 lb

Notes:  Okay week, but volume squats on Tuesday really wrecked me.  Volume deads on Friday just weren't going to happen.  Weight's up a little more than it likely ought to be (I should be about 174, maybe 175 at this point, rather than 175.6).  Haven't gone up an additional belt notch just yet, so that's good.  This may end up being my last 5/3/1 cycle for awhile, or at least the last one with such heavy assistance work.  Getting very nervous about my 1s targets, as I'm pushing into PR territory with pretty much everything, and I'm not sure I'm recovering fast enough.

Notes:  No missed targets last week, which is always nice to see.  Deloading this week, hopefully enough time for my right hand to heal after what seems like a quick dislocation/joint-pop of my right middle finger, probably from the lat pulldowns and/or the heavy deads last week.

Notes: Belatedly realized that I somehow ended up with week 1 giving my lighter press and bench numbers than I should have had for this cycle.  Week 3 still looks correct, so I'll just stay with it.  Bench numbers would have been better but I slept about 4 hours the night prior.

Weight (today): 170 lb

Notes:
Backoff week before I start cycle 4.  I'm planning to swap assistance sets as per the BBBC for this cycle, primarily because it feels like my presses would benefit from more frequency.  My 0-carb stretch also ends in a few hours when I start about 24 hours of carb-up for the week ahead, per Anabolic Diet.  It's been 10 days since my last actual carb intake, so I'm likely going to gain 3-5 lb before tomorrow morning.  Given that, I'm moving my weigh-ins to Friday or Saturday morning so I'm weighing me and not all the water my glycogen will need.

Notes: Monday sucked, rest of the week wasn't too bad.  I think I need more frequency on presses, so I might swap accessory work in the next cycle per the BBBC layout.  Dropped post-workout carbs and IF after Tuesday, going VLC this week until this Saturday.  Switching from IF/LeanGains protocol to Di Pasquale's Anabolic Diet, mostly because I think the constant morning fasts might be too much stress, and PWO carbs were giving me afternoon brain-fog (not too mention doing frackall for my gainz).  I also quit tracking my food entirely.  I've been tracking meticulously for about 6 months, and it's gained me literally nothing measurable.  I'm 2# heavier and my lifts are worse than they were 6 months ago.  Oh, and I was totally neurotic about food all through the holidays, which was fun.

Notes: Backoff week, so I compressed the 5/3/1 days and added a Monday dynamic effort day.  Caught my second 155# power clean a little wrong on Monday and tweaked my right forearm a little.  Seems mostly better today unless I'm gripping something wide like the top of my food jar.

Notes: Not an awful week.  Press and bench still feel laggy.  Solid on diet (3400 kcal, HCLF on training days, <2000 LCHF on rest days, >170g protein all days), body comp appears good, might actually be adding some arm/shoulder mass.
