Next week is a deload week, and then the first 6 week cycle of 531 is in the books.  I'm really feeling some PRs for my bench next cycle.  Highbar squat has been increasing as well, and my deadlift is loving all of these amrap sets, which really surprises me.  My upper back is feeling huge as well, specifically my traps, which is always a plus.

A couple things to note:
When i.have movement 1+movement 2, that's a superset.  And in the previous 5 weeks I was running overhead press on Thursdays but am.going to try this volume day for bench out to see if.it can help my bench jump to above 200kg before wrestling season starts.  Odds are I'll switch back and forth between ohp and this volume day every cycle, but we'll see the results first.
