Good morning Todd,
Yesterday morning I did Wendlers week 1 for military press. 3x5 ending with 120. I then did 5x12 shoulder press, and 5x10 chins. I re-read Wendler's 5/3/1 and am following his boring but big template. I travel this weekend then again two weeks later, I may just keep repeating week 1 until I get back, what do you think? I think it will be challenging to progress while I am gone that much.
Tonight I will be doing some hill sprints and packing, very exciting. I will also foam roll and stretch which is something I neglect a lot.
Morning Scott! I like the boring but big template! If I were you I would ride the wave as much as possible and Not repeat week 1. I think you have 2 options... 1. Lift 2 days a week press and deadlift one day, have a few days rest and then squat and bench. We are doing it with Todd and it is working, just limit your accessory work...

2. Do twice a week as written in 5/3/1 and do only two lifts a week with as much accessory work as you want. So it takes a two week period to complete one 5/3/1 week and eliminate the de-load. Once you are back and stable you can just go back to normal :)
