531, Month 5, Week 3a

Bodyweight: 220

DB Incline Press
Plug in Weight: 220
60's/10, 70's/5

80's/5, 95's/3, 105's/0
  * No dice. Got about half way up. Next month, I am going to do Hammer Strength Inclines under the 531 format and supplement with DBs. I realize that this isn't ideal, but I've already bastardized the 531 program enough, so what's one more thing? Plus, the Hammer Strength allows me to make 5 pound jumps in weight instead of 10 pounds with DBs. One other thing I should mention is that I am moving to Florida in a couple of months, so I am going to have to find a new gym, which will have different equipment. That said, I will probably run two more cycles of the current 531 program, then do some sort of maintain/workout when I can situation for most of February, and then find a new gym and bootcamp for March. 

Hex Bar Deads
Plug in Weight: 470
135/10, 225/5, 315/3

355/5, 405/3, 445/2
  * Unfortunately, the hex bar in this gym is small, so in order to do 445, I had to place 10 pound weights on top of the 45's. They fell off after both the first and second reps, so I had to replace them. I felt like I had at least one, if not two more reps in me, if it wasn't for fooling around with those 10's. There is another gym about 25 minutes away that has a bigger hex bar. I might go there next week and try for a higher max. That is TBD, depending on how I feel. 

Hammer Strength Incline
