5/3/1, Kettlebells, and MMA/BJJ

I've gotten slack about posting lately. Since I'm starting a new training cycle based off of Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program (with quite a bit of kettlebell work thrown in), today seems like a good day to start posting again. So let's get on with my less than stellar maxes that I hit last week to get my starting points. My working maxes that I'll base my initial training cycles on will be in parentheses.

Squat: 315 (280)

Bench: 225 (200)

Deadlift: 400 (360)

Military Press: 115 (100) *This is embarrassing*

So, on to today's workout, which was squats.

WARM UP:

Squats: 135x5, 155x5

WORK SETS:

Squats: 180x5, 210x5, 235x8

ACCESSORY WORK:

Kettlebell swings 32kg: 5 sets of 10

GHR: 2 sets of 5

This was followed by a one and a half hour Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu session that focused on kneebars.
