Are you running one of Brian's programs or just using the format?

Just super/giant setting everything. I'm using a lot of Westside principles for the setup of my main lift, with their supplementary work built into the super/giant set.

The biggest tweak is I find reps better for upper work than dynamic stuff, and then I'm putting strongman and GPP work at the end instead of solo workouts like Westside is known for.

Some of Brian's EMOM stuff just blasts my recovery too much. I recover better from volume.

I’m the opposite. I seem to recover slower with excess volume

We did max out this week.

Age: 41
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 172

Deadlift: 345 (PR back in May was 365)

Bench: 245 (PR back in May was 250)

Squat: 335 (New PR, lift in May was 315)

So a little down in deadlift and bench, but up in squat. Kinda weird but trying not to overthink it. The goal for this next cycle is to cut weight (fat) and try to keep the same strength level but get down in the low 160s or high 150s.

The place where I go is instructor lead group training. Going to get some one on one with nutrition for the next month to help with fat lose. Really want to get that flat stomach and sides. Hopefully this will help me get through the holiday season where there are so many parties and crappy food available.

5/3/1 BBB Week 3 Squat


Squat
1x5 235
1x5 270
1x5 300

5x10 195.

Great session. took a while to recover from the BBB sets but overall went well. 300 lb x 5 was a PR and I definitely had a few in the tank which is awesome since next week is the 7th week protocol test. Squats have been my weak point so this is exciting


Side Note: Used the SBD Knee Sleeves for the first time today and wow. Getting into the hole and driving the weight felt so comfortable. Not sure what type of increase in numbers they provide but I definitely felt stronger and more comfortable today.

Awesome numbers man. I recently broke the 4 plate-DL barrier as well. It’s a good feeling
