Basically the highlights of the last 5/3/1 cycle I did were a 350 bench, 565 deadlift, and 445 squat which was super easy. I did all of these with no spot or lift off since I have been lifting by myself. I think I am good for at least another 20 pounds on deadlift and am sure I could squat over 500 raw.
January 2 was a strongman day, the first and only one this cycle as I was on vacation the other weeks.
Axle Clean and Press
worked up to 250 x1, then did a set of 250x4.
Axle Deadlift, DBL overhand
worked up to 330x1, this was the first time I had tried these. I really need to get myself an axle and maybe use these as an accessory lift some other day to work my grip since it limits the weight quite a bit. I have a feeling it would help my axle clean and press quite a bit too just getting it in my hands more.
Keg Clean and Press
150x4
200x2
Stones
230x1,1,1,1,1,2,3,10
This was another event I had never done. I liked it quite a bit but will definitely wear a shirt and get some forearm sleeves before I do it again.
Sledge Swings
20 each arm, 3 sets, maybe 4 but I'm pretty sure it was 3
Overall it was a pretty good day. I really wish I could make it more often for strongman days so I could get the feel for a lot of these things more.
