Shot In the Fucking Head

This week is the deload week in 5/3/1, so my workouts are going to be a little different than they would be the other 3 weeks out of the month. Because 5/3/1 doesn't use any DE days like the typical WSBB conjugate template, I like to use the deload week as a dynamic/speed week. I also will keep the reps a bit higher, just using the deload as a chance to get in a little more hypertrophy than I usually get.

Warm Up:

Some upper body static stretching
Shoulder rotations with 10lb plate

Bench Day Deload / DE Workout:

Bench (Speed!):
45x20
95x15
115x10
135x10
155x10
185x6

Incline Bench (Speed!):
95x10
115x10
135x10
155x10
185x3 (too heavy to hit quickly, lame)

V-bar lat pulldowns:
108x10
144x10
168x10
192x6
216x3 (sometimes its hard to deload)

JM Press:
95x15
115x15
135x8

Finisher:

Grappler Circuit
Military Press x 6 (each arm)
Bent Over Row x 6 (each arm)
Squat x 6
Russian Twist x 6
(Go through the circuit two times for 1 set)

3 sets, all at bar+25

Stretch, and Neck bridges on a stability ball (front and back) to finish the day.


Cardio (steady state):

3 miles of roadwork in just under 30min.

  1. My understanding of WS DE work is that you should keep reps to 3 or less so you can focus on speed. I'd have to find it again, but I think to add volume to speed work you can just do multiple sets of low reps at the same weight.

    Someone can correct me though.
