Week 40 - 5/3/1 - Day 125

Cycle #4 **Week 1 Day 1**

** 5/3/1 Press:  3x65, 3x75, 3x85 **DB Military Press:  4x12x25lb Side Laterals:  4x12x10lb Standing Barbell Curls:  4x12x30lb Preacher Curls:  4x12x30lb

Last week was unintentional deload week.  So much for "skipping" it last week.  Again, struggling with getting myself up in the morning to hit the gym.  Lack of discipline, not eating right, sleeping too much.  Also, thinking of restarting Squats cold.  Left knee doesn't seem like it's getting any better and I think my form is going down the crapper from the gym-going inconsistency.

Week 39 - 5/3/1 - Day 124

Cycle #4 **Week 1 Day 1**

** 5/3/1 Press:  3x65, 3x75, 3x85 **DB Military Press:  4x12x25lb Side Laterals:  4x12x10lb Standing Barbell Curls:  4x12x30lb Preacher Curls:  4x12x30lb

Yep, skipped deload week for cycle 3.  Going to do another cycle of the bodybuilder template.  I think I'm making good progress on the lifts, bench, especially.  Although, I do think I'm slowing down on deadlifts because of the decrease in volume.
