2/24/11 It's a Pillket

AM
Front squat 3-5-7
Bench press 3-5-7

PM
Deadlift 3-5-7
GHD situps 3x20

Continued the 3-5-7 experiment.  I have to say it is challenging, to say the least, and that I like it.  I can see numerous benefits to the protocol and I'll elaborate on that later.  Basically I'm using a weight close (95ish%) to a 3RM for the 3, 90% of that for 5, and 80% for 7.  For almost all of the movements, these percentages are working out just right.  I'll add the usual 5-10# per week and see where I end up in a few weeks.  Front squat went 240-215-190, bench press 220-200-180, and DL 345-310-275.  Went lighter on the DL due to the re-grip/no-bounce style I've favored as of late.
Nasty metcon tomorrow
