Disgusted with myself just now. Just had to cheat 225 up for a single on bench press just now. Should be able to get that up for at least 3-4 reps.

I’m assuming it’s got to be because of this cut. Aesthetically, I feel good where am at/gotten to. Strength wise it’s killing me it seems. This is my second month of 5/3/1 and it’s been kinda rough. Not sure whether to chalk this up to the cut or what, but it’s frustrating. Squat feels good enough. Rows been good to me. But bench press is struggling.

Edit: was able to get a clean single of 225 up just after typing this.
 
Hit a 325, 3 second pause bench.
290x5x3, 3 second pause. Sooo easy.

I like being 188-190. Gonna lean bulk to 195 and then cut 5lbs. Then bulk to 200. Rinse and repeat until I hit around 205.

405 1x2 (was supposed to do 400 but was too lazy to find the 2.5 plates)
325 8x3

pendlay 3x8
underhand lat pulldowns 3x8

For my lean folk, what’s been your recipe to stay shredded?
