Wendler 5/3/1 Cycle 6 Week 4 – Deload + 1RM

Press: 55 x 5, 75 x 5, 85 x 5, 105 x 3, 115 x 3, 125 x 2, 135 x 1, 145 x 1, 155 x 1, 162.5 x 0, 160 x 0

• 205 lbs: power clean x 0, hang power clean x 0, clean x 1
• 215 lbs: clean x 0 (3 attempts)

Deadlift: 285 x 1, 305 x 1, 355 x 1, 405 x 0, 375 x 0

Not a particularly spectacular performance.  For the press, I tried to go a little above my previous 1RM of 160 and couldn’t budge the bar.  Not even close.

Cleans were messy.  I can’t argue too much with getting 205 but everything else was a jumble.  I probably shouldn’t have tried mixing power and full cleans.

Deadlift also didn’t go well.  I did 355 for 4 last week and the 1 this week felt like a max effort lift.  405 wouldn’t even move off the ground.

Realistically speaking, I’ve started to experiment with intermittent fasting this week so I was fasted before the workout and I also ran 5k last night so it isn’t too surprising that today was a mess.
