De-load week is weird, I know it is good for me but not lifting heavy seems weird.

Looking forward to month 2 of my new program.

I'm actually really enjoying the program, never more than about 45 minutes in the gym and my strength gains are going better than before when I was spending more than 1 hr in the gym.

I am a big fan of 5 3 1

Doing it right pays off, funny that.

If you are back to 76kg at 6'3, holy crap you must be skeletal now!

I'm skinny as shit. So much water weight and glycogen lost. At least some of it has been fat too. Have a serious 8 pack going on, but that's no good when you look like a strong wind would knock you over lol

+1 for spending 45 mins in the gym. 4 exercises for me, done twice a week, and I've never been as strong (or good looking :P).

But that was before I got sick lol

Do you have the deload every 4th week or are you going through 2 waves then deloading?

Ive heard the progress is slow but steady with 5/3/1, I might give it a try soon.

I do squats and pull-ups Mondays and Thursdays, deadlifts and bench press Tuesdays and Fridays. About 6 sets per exercise, but I'll spend half an hour squatting and 15 minutes doing pull-ups for example.

I find it to be a good split that doesn't keep me in the gym all night, doesn't really overlap with DOMS or muscle fatigue, and it works all the major muscles in the body. About the only exercise I'd like to add to it is rows...and shoulder press, though I can't do any overhead work for the now.

Sometimes add in captains chair on deadlift day to hit the abs, but pull-ups does most of that.

But my doms is so bad from Monday (first workout in a month) that it's a two day week this week :(

Stumbling around the office like a war vet with a slug in each leg :(

De-load on the 4th week.

Option 1, 531, Normal, Boring but Big, Less Boring

Monday: Mil Press, Bench, Chins

Tuesday: Dead, Squat, Hang Leg Raise

Thursday: Bench, Mil Press, Row

Friday: Squat, Dead, Leg Curl.

Will go with the periodization bible when this cycle is over in about 5 months if I feel I need to mix it up a bit.

The time savings are from not doing pretty boy exercises and only focusing on compound exercises, the only machine I use is the Leg Curl thing.

I have just finished reading Starting Strength, good read and very motivational.

On a side note: The WHS Nazi's at work decided that the heave beam we have is a safety hazard because you might fall if you let go!!!!!, I kid you not, they then made us get a Skid Steer Loader and rip it down, WHS has got people so scared of any risk that they are now making up stupid shit.

I've been liking 5/3/1 too - I'm currently using the Simplest Strength template due to it having a programmed main assistance lift mostly - I've finished the first cycle and jumped straight into the second - I figured the deload was more for those who have been doing it for a while.

It is a slower rate of progression, as it's aimed at the intermediate to advanced lifter

By heave bar I mean heave bar/chin up bar/pullup bar, 6 of one 1/2 a dozen of the other.

To clarify what I call a heave is a overgrasp grip lowering all the way down and raising till my chest touches through bar.

It wasn't mounted to a wall it was a free standing wooden job made with 150 x 150 post and a 150 x 30 bolted to the top, it was 600mm buried into the ground with 3 baffles of cement in each post hole.

I was as solid as they come, I'll post a pick when I get home.

Negotiated with the boss for a longer lunch break to go gym. Only going to have 45min to work out and want to do some cardio as well as weights.

Anyone got any recommendations for a decent enough weights routine?

      They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By MBS206 · Posted

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
