Week 3 of 5/3/1 with training maxes of deadlift/squat/bench of 385/335/180 lbs.

I was coming off of some mild illness that left me with no appetite all weekend, and I was definitely dehydrated coming into the week.

Deadlift: I hit 5 reps of 370 lbs on my 1+ set. Didn't love that, but I went for a joker set anyway and did 2 reps of 405.

Squat: Warmed up with the wrong bar (25 kg instead of 45 lbs), started to get confused why it felt so heavy on my 5-rep set. Double checked and switched over to a 45-lb bar. For my 1+ set, I did 6 reps of 320 lbs, then a joker set of 3x350.

Bench: Did 5x170 on my 1+ set, did a joker set of 2x190. Felt ok. Accessory work after felt pretty good, though. Not sure what to make of that.

Overall, I'm a little bit disappointed with the reps I managed on these workouts. Can't tell how much was loss of sleep, dehydration, illness, whatever, but I think I wasn't 100% this week. Still, I think I'm ready to try to move up by 20 lbs on deadlift/squat training max and 10 lbs on bench, as I recover and should feel much better next week than I did this week.
