Powerlifting Prep Chronicles : Season 1
Chapter 13 - Who hurt Mr Wendler?
BLOCK B!! Your favorite newest powerlifter is officially done with Block A of prep and moving onto Block B! Feeling strong and no sign of burnout or creeping soreness so we’re gonna hold off on deloading for another 2ish weeks as long as recovery upholds!
Moving into Block B, I’m jumping back up to 5-rep sets. I’ve upped my weights since the beginning of prep so while 40% used to be less than the bar for all lifts, I’m now around 55-65lbs at 40% for all lifts.
I was spoiled the last few weeks with 1-3 rep sets; 5 reps feels like a labor 😭 I understand a few more powerlifter stereotypes now, and I am genuinely curious as to the state of Jim Wendler’s mental health when he wrote 531 😂
531 has been such a cool program to run for this prep; I feel like I’m seeing improvements so much faster than the first time I learned to SBD (granted, I’m approaching it with more knowledge and muscle memory this time around) but it’s still crazy to see weights I struggled with outside of prep move so much easier while in prep!
Onward and upward, Jimmy!
