Analysis

Here are my theoretical 1RMs from last week:

• Bench: 225lbs
• Squats: 249lbs
• Deads: 299lbs
• Overheads: 145lbs

Here are this weeks theoretical 1RMs:

• Bench: 230lbs
• Squats: 249lbs
• Deads: 299lbs
• Overheads: 145lbs

 

I’m recalibrating my schedules and quitting nSuns. I want to do 3 days a week exercising to fit in with my schedules. I’ll probably do some variation of 5/3/1 in the weeks and months to come.

 

Here are my theoretical all-time max 1RM from last year:

• Bench Press: 260 lbs (118kg)
• Squat: 316lbs (143kg)
• Deadlift: 366lbs (165 kg)
• Overhead Press: 171lbs (78kg)

I have a while to go before I get back my lost gains.
