Just from my personal experience - my fast 5 time is never good if I try it during a block or after a block. I do need take a good break and then re-test.. Funny in a wayLikes wrote:HIC
Fast five - 30min
Not happy with my time since I really pushed hard.
I've been thinking about what I'll do after this cycle. Definetly taking a rest week but afterwards I might try a block of green or even run BB again

Thanks Bark. I've ran it faster during a block before, that explains the disapointment.
I was still feeling run down / sleep deprived last week so skipped the other HIC session and E, I did do my MS.
Since I skipped the HIC last week I won't be taking an easy week for the last week of the block.

MS
SQ 3x1x145kg
Bench 3x2x100kg
DL 3x2x145kg
End of this cycle. I'm happy with the weigths I lifted but not with the way I ran the cycle. I lost focus on nutrition and on training. Getting sligthly sick and not getting enough sleep didn't help either.
I also felt like the back squat made me not look forward to training. I really like squatting but it felt like warming up to my work sets took a big chunk out of training time. It started to feel like a hassle.
I'm taking some rest days and will start a new cycle next week. And I'll try and make some changes. I'll swap back squat with front squat for the next cycle to keep things fresh. I'll also be testing my maxes this week for bench and DL. I feel like there's more progress in them.
I'm also thinking about writing down some "challenges" or goals (that fit into the training) to complete during the cycle to help with focus. Nothing to fancy but things like: perform 100 KB swings in one training, run 10km in an E sessions, lift X amount on volume on squat, perform HIC session #?, ...

Test day;
Front squat 100kg
Bench 110kg
DL: I'm settling at 165kg: I did 160 just fine and afterwards lifted 170kg but form was off
Excited about the weights and excited to start a new cycle.
Treating myself with a big steak later

Re: Likes TB log
Good numbers. Small goals are always a great idea, even if you just write them down in a notebook to keep in mind.
