For the next cycle I'll have to make a few changes:
1) Lower working 1RM for OHP to 150. I just wasn't hitting enough reps with a 165 max to make the sets worthwhile.
2) Reintroduce deadlifts. If I'm gonna compete in a meet in two months I have to work the deadlift. No way around it.
3) Squats won't be 531 style for now. I"ll up the max set weight by 5 lbs every workout, the BBB weight by 2.5lbs.
-This is bc I don't want to increase my max a bit slower than just setting it high right now, but faster than 531 would
normally allow. Should be squatting 305 or 310 by the time cycle 6 ends, will be approaching pre-injury weights. (Though
peak belted weights will remain distant in the near term).
4) Bench, I won't change a single thing. Bench is going great and I'm looking forward to f'ing around and hitting a 250lb bench (my first real, legit, new 1RM since switching to 531).
The working maxes for cycle 6 of 531 will be:
Bench: 205
Deadlift: 375 (starting purposefully low, can adjust up through cycle)
Overhead Press: 150 (this is lower than before, but just wasn't hitting reps)
Squat: Not using 531 system. Will be upping squat working set by 5lbs every workout, BBB by 2.5lbs. First squat workout will be 300lbs x 1s x 5r and BBB: 190 x 5s x 10r.
