Classic Physique Offseason Log

alright 3 days already down 3kg of bloof. I guess I wasnt as fat as I thought and was carrying a ton more water and inflammation than I originally thought. yesterday was a disaster as we had a mandatory work dinner that went from 4pm to 1230am past midnight. Chinese food which is almost all dietary fat with some carbs and little protein and a very long stretch of not eating and didn't get my steps in but did do my cardio (straight to 1 hour fasted in the morning as 30 minutes fasted is already my baseline).

Sleep was a disaster. Today's workout was also a disaster but I kinda knew it was going to be and I ain't mad. Only if pull or glute+ham workouts are a disaster am I gonna get mad about it, push is kinda whatever my triceps+delts+chest aren't the problem rn.

This minicut might be on the shorter side like 6-8 weeks instead and then straight back into a nice surplus. Prep won't start for another 12 months from now and I just don't think taking off that extra bodyfat beyond what I need to restore sensitivity/digestion/insulin sensitivity is really helpful, and can even be counter-productive.


Paused incline barbell: 90lkgx10, 80kgx9, 7
flat machine press nautilus: 3 sets
cable flies: 3 sets
dual delt raises: 4 sets
tircep pushdowns: 3 sets
cross body single arm pushdowns: 3 sets new movement which I really like. I got it from watching the latest John Jewett x Anthony williams youtube video. Anthony is gonna do a lot better than people think at the Arnold classic.
 
today's workout not at all a disaster! got a good pump, felt right.

Hammer strength single arm pulldown: 2ppsx12, 9, 8
hammer strength dy rows single arm: 2ppx9, 1.5x10, 10
hammer strength upper back rows: 2.5ppsx10, 10, 2px10
pullovers: 3 sets
rear delts: 4 sets
lat pulldown preacher curls: 5 sets

bodyweight 102.7 AM, so lost literally 1kg per day so far. That's nice.
 
Glutes and hams
paused sldl: 130kgx10x2 very long pauses
lying ham curls: 46kgx12, 9, 39kgx10
rfess: 30kg dbx10x3
hip thrust: 2ppx10, 6 paused

Very productive 60 minute workout. Gonna be backing off lower body volume a bit and splitting out glutes+hams a bit more. RFESS and hip thrust still activate quads to some degree, but leg pressing twice per week wasn't really working. Glutes on both days obviously but one ham emphasis day and one quad emphasis day basically.
