Daily Log to 2019 Show Season

Truly don't know how I'm still where I'm at visually. Only justification I can find is having done it the right way for years on end with food and training not endless amounts of gear. Either way, I'm just relieved it comes back so quickly.

Woke up around 218 today. These were in the gym yesterday.

Going through your thread and journey what I can tell is that consistency.and work ethic are your strongest qualities and that is apparent through your physique. No matter the setbacks you hammered through them again and again.

You have my outmost respect.

Keep it going brother, you got this.
 
Possible to see your current split workout?

How did I miss this. Following. Few questions. On the top of this page, what were you weighing? Also how tall are you?

You have one of the better physiques I've seen across forums.
 
Do you think having different pull and push days in the same week is helpful for less advance trainees? Or is it something best left to big joozy MF’ers

Mate but you don't train anymore with TOP SET then BACK OFF?
Your training volume here seems much higher than before....

Not to speak for him, but unless he’s changed things.. the sets with a / are done on the same day. A “ , “ separates days. So this would be multiple days of work.

So it's the progression he had with Top sets / Back off?

If so... this makes sense :D
 
Still top and back off.
/ is between sets, "," between training days.
Meaning you do an intense set, and after a rest break you go a tiny bit lighter?

Edit, i think i see. Yet are you doing any lighter sets at all before these? And just logging top sets?

So its a more organized way to log progression

I’m guessing with his level of experience and development some of those sets are things like running up and down the DB rack on side lateral raises, maybe I’m reading it wrong but I’m guessing he’s bringing some intensity with shit like that
 
So it's very simple. The sets listed are working sets only. I do warmups for every movement and the number of warmups depends on where I am in the training day.

Working = failure
Warmup = ascending weight with descending rep counts only enough to get warm and in the groove without wasting effort that could be applied to the working sets

baseline is 1 top set of max weight to failure in a 6-12 rep range. Set 2 is also to failure but at a slightly lower weight to meet or exceed the last sets reps.

Rest is 2/3m between working sets.

When it's time to add work because the stimulus is far exceeded by my ability to recover I start with simple intensity techniques. This time I just made my first step up by adding a rest pause to the top set on 3 exercises. When my recovery catches up again I'll probably add drop sets or something similar.

The "volume" or pump work comes in the form of that final movement of the day where I'm doing either 1 mocement or a superset of 5 sets of 12+ reps with short rest.

My training is mostly about density. Spend as little time on trash volume and reps more than 2-3 reps from failure as possible.
