After a few cycle of 5-3-1, I embarked on the 75% Volume Work.

The first work out is nice and reminded me how I wasn't (still isn't?) very good with "going by feel with the poundage and volume", like when I did the 40 Days Workout, starting too heavy, adding weight too quickly.

It will be a good training for me, not only to work on crisp reps but also to listen to my body.

He said in Beyond 5-3-1(page 75) that you could stay on it for a long time.

3-10 sets of 3-5 reps with 75% of your "training max" (read 5-3-1 or Beyond 5-3-1 for more info)

I train twice a week so bench/squat + something else on one day and press/rack Pull + something else for another day.

Yesterday I did Did 5 reps X 6(or 7??) sets bench 42.5KG, super se 2 reps X 5 set chin up , and 5reps x 5sets Squat 65KG

Try to get more volume next week if it is too easy.

After 2 - 3 cycles, You are supposed to do 3-10 sets with 85% of your TM before going to a meet

I would do 40 days workout again but it works better for me to 2 x 60mins session than 5 X 25mins sessions due to set up time.
