I have been procrastinating on posting. Saturday was the meet I competed in and it was not my best performance. It was actually my lowest 2 lift total in 3 years. I took Saturday night to feel bad about it and then talked to my brother about what he saw as some of the things that I need to improve on. With those things in mind I've decided to make some changes in my training routine. I've been doing 5/3/1 for squat and DL for more than 2 years now. I think I'm ready for a change.
The plan is to do the Juggernaut routine for 1 cycle (it's 16 weeks), at least 3 cycles of Smolov Jr. for bench (it's 4 weeks per cycle) and at least one cycle of the Coan DL program. I also plan to keep the KB swings.
I know this is a big departure from what I've done before. I've never mixed and matched routines like this. It's just that I haven't yet found one routine that has really worked for me in all 3 of the big lifts, particularly bench. I don't have access to the equipment needed to properly do a Westside DE/ME split, otherwise that would be something I'd consider doing. We'll see how this goes.
