Monday Squat - New Cycle


Welcome to my 5th Cycle of the Wendler 5-3-1

This was supposed to be my de-load week after making a bunch of new volume PRs. However, by this morning I was feeling strong and well recovered and decided to hell with recovery, let's just keep it going. Here's the result: 

LBBS
265# x 5 
295# x 5
335# x 5

Good Mornings
135# 3x12

Front Squat: 

135# 3x5
I haven't front squatted in ages, just wanted to see how they felt. I think I'll be adding to my Mondays and determining a proper load. 

Mobility 
Couch stretch, 2 minutes a side whistling dixie. Ahh supple quads and hip flexors. 
2:30 squat (+:30 since last week, on the way to 10 minutes uninterrupted!)

Conditioning: 
I might swim tonight!

On an unrelated note, the giant (1cm+) stone in my sub-mandibular salivary duct is giving me trouble again. It hurts and I want it out. I have heard that they are starting to use ultrasound to break up big stones (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or ESWL) so you can have the less invasive scope removal, but I'll have to wait to see a specialist (Dr. Sommer is the saliendoscopy specialist around here) to see a)if it's possible and b) how much it will cost. Wish me luck, because the alternative is that they go in through my next under my jaw, like this. 



Obviously not ideal.
