Training Restart - Week 1 (75%)

I'm making a switch to a 4 Week Cycle. This is something I use with my athletes. It's basically the original 5/3/1 cycle with the deload week before the heaviest week. It'll look like this:

1. 75%
2. 80%
3. 70%
4. 85%

Week 4 I'll do a true PR Set and then readjust my Training Max for the next cycle. For me, I'll probably just add 5-10lbs and keep going like I usually do. With my athletes I'm toying with the idea of adjusting the Training Max based on how they perform each cycle. I generally don't like this idea, but I may experiment and see what I get from it. Monday - Squat

• SSB Box Squat: 205x5/225x5/245x10
• Metabolic Circuit
• FBB Incline (2): 95/105/115/125/105x10
• Pull-ups: 5x5
• SSB Good Mornings: 3x10
• McGill Sit-ups: 2x20

Wednesday - Bench

• FBB Bench: 135x5/150x5/165x8
• Metabolic Circuit
• BBB: 5x10@135
• Pull-ups: 5x5
• BB Shrugs: 5x15
• McGill Sit-up Holds: 5x10 seconds

Friday - Deadlift (At Wendler's)

• Trap Bar: 240x5/260x5/280x10
• Hypertrophy Circuit
• FBB Press: 3x10
• KB Row/Fat Mans: 3x5/3x10
• Back Extension: 3x10

This was a good week of training. I took my SSB and Trap Bar numbers down a little bit. I'm enjoying Squatting and Deadlifting in the same week and I don't want to jack myself up. If I take the Training Maxes down I think I can keep it up without causing myself pain or injury. Truthfully, I forget how I calculated my numbers. I think I used a previous PR Set and then took 85% of that? I really don't remember. And, it really doesn't matter.
