This was a light workout. I felt after heavy squats last week and heavy deads earlier this week that I needed a deload. this was supposed to be my deload week on the 5/3/1 program so I went with it. This workout only took about 25 mins, it was just a continuous superset.

I did not take a deload as planned since we are starting a new program for bench. The numbers were very light this workout so I felt like that was a deload in and of itself.
