Little catching up.

Finished the 531 on point with the shoulder press and pretty much smoked the numbers. All in all I will be increasing the weights for the second round.

Its deload round now, and got in my quad workout yesterday. Although I didnt squat as heavy, I still thrashed my quads on all other movements.

Will be having two off days, today and Saturday. I am away for the big natural bb pro show, the Yorton Cup. Besides helping at the show, I have guided and coached a few figure pro competitors for the show. They all look great and gonna kill it.
Will be back early Sunday morning, and planning on training that afternoon.

Deadlift hammy workout:

Was looking forward to this workout as the deads have slowly increased. The test out round of the 531 and nailed it. The grip was better, and I will be increasing next round. The goal was 385 and did the single pretty easily and then did a second set for 4 reps. Looking forward to getting this back into the 400's...
All in all, hammies were fried.

Solid two day of training after two rest days. Friday had a lot of business to finish up including re fi on the home, and then Saturday traveled to Baltimore to watch a show with a couple of clients.
Had a good early morning workout hitting back on Sunday and then test out
for the 531 on chest today. Nice increases and progression for both workouts.
And today's workout was fueled by a high carb cheat meal last night. Carbs do increase performance!! LOL

Feeling a little beat and a little cold coming on. Just run down!
Wanted to get this workout in since I am planing on two off days due a busy schedule. So I pushed through on the first test out round for 531 and did what was needed.

Great finish to the second round of 531. Made some solid gains and soreness along with it!! The deads felt better the second time around so looking forward to some nice progression. For the shoulder press, little too light but repping it out is not a bad thing either...

Shoulder and bicep workout:

Did what was needed to be done but was interrupted one to many time with some business that I had to attend to. Most times, I just let things go, but needed to give some attention this time. So the workout was a bit choppy. All in all still effective, just lack of focus at points. Its life!!

Quads and abs:

After a two day rest mini getaway, and finding out the results of my clients from the big show on Saturday, I was ready to rock n roll!! 531 is it and first up were regular squats. Did what was needed but will have to get use to the heavier weight on my back. No worries.

Nice week of deload and mixing it up workouts. I will finish up with shoulder and biceps today and then have two days off. After that, I will start a new round of my 5 day split, but will apply my modified version of 531 to each of the squat, deadlift, flat bench and high incline db shoulder press. Of course I will be low balling the weight to give myself some momentum. As far as the diet goes, all is well and happy were I am at The focus will be to maintain my current bw range until Jan 1st. Then, changes will be made to start the slow cut for the show.

Quads and abs deload, 20 min cardio

one with front squat for a while so I did regular squats and mixed it up a bit. Nice pump and burn

Update:

Very happy with the Juggernaut results and how I applied multi exercises to it. Been on it since the spring so a change is needed.
The plan is set for the next cycle. Continue with my 5 day split, change off the lead movements and follow my modified 531 rep breakdown for the lead off. I will start this at the end of the week.
I will roll with the 531 until I get burnt out from it, but I do plan on 8 waves.
