George, awesome to hear you are getting such great gains. Ever thought about running ppsa programs year around?

Geez that’s a lot of rear foot elevated split squats.

Looks like a long one.

I like the customization 5/3/1 affords me and the slow progress over time. 5x a week lifting with no conditioning isn’t my typical cup of tea. But I’m all in on the brotherhood of Squatober and doing something different for a month. Plus, AA seems like a good dude so why not give it a go every year?

Going to be partying with Michael Myers tomorrow. Hope the fellow Squatoberers in here are still with me.

Short day tomorrow so that’s nice. Going to sleep in an extra 15 mins.

Partied with Michael Myers. I even put on an 80s party mix to get the mood right.

Nice! Same! (Except no 80s music here)

Funny, I was not feeling it this morning but right before my first set of 7 something snapped in me and I got after it.

I’m sore as shite. Those heavy DB split squats lit me up. After the 3x7 today I’m hoping tomorrow is really light.

I can’t believe there’s only 5 workouts left in Squatober. Does anyone know what we can expect for the last week? Does it culminate with a maximum effort day?

You go for a max on the last day. I remember the last few workouts were very light and low volume.

So the last day is always the PR party. Just testing your 1 rep max. Looking over my workouts from last year it looks like the first two days are semi-intense and the next two are easy. Here is the squat portion of the last week of 2020.

Monday: 4x3@65% 2x3@75% 2x2@80%
Tuesday: 5@65% 4@75% 3@80% 2@85% 1@90%
Wednesday: 3x5 50/55/60%
Thursday: 2x5@50%
Friday: PR Party

Finished Day 22. Had to make my first modification because I only have one barbell and it really wasn’t a big deal. Had to break apart the bench press and snatch grip deadlift superset and do them separately. Because of that, I also cut the rest in half. Very minor but my OCD doesn’t like me changing from the prescribed routine.

I couldn’t pass up the chance to party with Harley Quinn so I chose that one. Definitely had nothing to do with the fact that I don’t stand a chance of doing 3 x 7 reps at 83%.

Still sucked.

One week left. Kicking it off with a long day tomorrow.

Eta: Opening the garage door tomorrow morning for carries, in the dark, to rain and 33 degrees will be fun.
