9/26 - 10/1

Another week of school, but overall wasn't too stressful. This term is definitely loaded so posts will be a bit more staggered. But everything is still proceeding as it should. Energy levels are solid and workouts yield gains, so I know I'm moving in the right direction. Latest weigh-in read 185, but strength is increasing, so it's probably just a pound of fat, or water/glycogen that was lost. Cardio has been up from walking to classes every day. Overall everything is going well. Hitting all my numbers and then exceeding them on the all out set. Really liking this 5-3-1 routine.
Two small things about the routine:
I'll be alternating barbell rows with the pulldown movement prescribed since deads are my leadoff movement. Also, for delts, I'll be using the push press as my leadoff movement.
