Week 35 - 5/3/1 - Day 116

Cycle #6 **Week 4 Day 1**

Deload Press:  5x35, 5x45, 5x55 BBB Press:  5x10x45 Conditioning:  Interval Cycling 20min.

Accidentally did two extra sets on the BBB assistance.  Forgot deload week backed off on number of sets.  After cycling, I did a supuperset of chin-ups and sit-ups.  Did as many sets of chin-ups to complete 20 reps.  Time between chin-up sets were allocated to doing sit-ups to failure.  I'll probably sprinkle some light high rep hypertrophy assistance exercises (1-3) after the BBB assistances if I'm not feeling too burnt out.

I'm going to start a bodybuilder assistance next cycle starting with some light sets for assistance during the deload week.  I'll alternate between bodybuilding and strength each cycle.

Week 34 - 5/3/1 - Day 115

Cycle #6 Week 3 Day 3+4

Warm-up Squat:  5x95, 3x120, 3x140** 5/3/1 Squat:  5×180, 3×200, 3×225 **BBB Squat:  5x10x135

Warm-up Deadlift:  5x115, 3x145, 3x170 5/3/1 Deadlift:  5x215, 3x245, 1x270 BBB Deadlift:  5x10x145

Probably not the best of ideas to do both squat and deadlift 5/3/1's on the same day.  Actually, thinking back, it was a terribly conceived idea.  I can't think of any other way to "make up" workout sessions though.
