With the new year approaching, it's time to set some new goals. I'm going to take the year of 2017 to build my base and continue with my raw work. I have some goals in mind that I'm going to keep to myself for the time being, but I know I will reach them with consistency and hard work. With paramedic school also approaching, that means limited gym time. This means I need to be efficient in my workouts. Get in, do my work and get out. This is why I will be running my 5/3/1 percentages again since it allows me to go into the gym without thinking while still putting the work in. I started out my day back with some squats and bench the day after. Here's how my days were laid out...

Squat Day

A. Squat (Minimal rest periods) Bar weight x 15 135x10 225x8 275x5 315x3 360x3 405x3 425x1

B. Good Mornings 4x8

C. Leg Press - Giant Strip Set 6 plates per side x 10 reps Stripped one plate per side after each set, hit ten reps and repeat. This allowed my quads to be under lots of tension. Holy fuck did these suck.

D. Lying Leg Curls 6 Sets w/ 6 reps at each leg alternating back and forth until all 6 sets are complete.

E. Ab Wheel 4x15

Cardio- walk on treadmill for 15 mins

Bench Day

A. Bench Bar weight x 15 135x10 225x8 270x3 310x3 350x3 365x1

B. Incline DB Press 4x8 w/ 90lb DB for set one, 100lb for rest of sets

C. Dips, Pull Up Superset 4x15 each

D. Tricep Pushdowns, Cable Curls Superset 3x20 for each
