5/3/1 Cycle 5, Week 1, Day 3 (C5-W1-D3)

Too lazy for an interesting title, but this is the best Crass song. I'm not counting Reality Asylum as an actual song.

Never done these seated before, but we felt like trying something new. I didn't feel like I was necessarily doing anything, but at the same time, it wasn't easy either. We'll keep them in for a cycle and see.

On our military press day, Sunday, I missed my reps for the first time since we started 5/3/1. I was supposed to get 140 x 5+ on my last set, and only hit three. This is doubly frustrating cause I got 140 x 5 on my 3's week last cycle. I'm not going to reset my max yet, but I will keep my max the same for next cycle, provided that I don't miss any more of my reps this cycle. I think some of it just had to do with being worn out. I squatted Saturday in Cleveland, did Prowler races with my sister until I felt like I was going to die, then woke up Sunday, pushed the Prowler 0.8 miles, got in my car, drove home, and then tried to set a PR in the military press about 30 minutes after getting home. Not making excuses, but that also doesn't read like a recipe for success either. I'll get my shit together.
