5, 3, 1 Protocol Week 3 of Cycle 3:

Refer to this link to figure out % of your lifts and get an overview of your 5, 3, 1 program.

Warm up:
hand stand push-ups

Main Lift: Use the percentages below of your max

Bench Press (3 work sets @ listed % of max -- warm-up with bar)
Set 1: 75% x 5
Set 2: 85% x 3
Set 3: 95% x 1+

^When you see 5+, 3+, or 1+, that means you do the max reps you can manage with
that weight, with the goal of setting a rep record in each workout.
