How does your training layout look for the week in general? Are you a big believer in back work to help with bench?Yeah feels good!
I'd like to work up to like 4x4 + AMRAP of 6-8

I will get an answer to this todayHow does your training layout look for the week in general? Are you a big believer in back work to help with bench?
Hitting those DHT's bud!!! I've recently added in Masteron Prop and wow what a brilliant compound.
Welcome to the party!Hitting those DHT's bud!!! I've recently added in Masteron Prop and wow what a brilliant compound.
I understand what you like so much about it now I was outdated in what I was running.
Hi Buddy! Do you always do a deload week every 4 to 5 weeks then? During this period do you do light training or zero training?Welcome to the party!
Hey friend! This log will be picking up soon, am in middle of movingHi Buddy! Do you always do a deload week every 4 to 5 weeks then? During this period do you do light training or zero training?
Also, do you use Creatine and HMB mate?
AHaaaahh!!! I wondered where you had got to lol I was beginning to think you had picked up an injury!Hey friend! This log will be picking up soon, am in middle of moving
And yes I typically deload every 4-5 Weeks!
Life has thrown me a few curve balls with this move, my relationship and figuring that out (we are good), and you know life.AHaaaahh!!! I wondered where you had got to lol I was beginning to think you had picked up an injury!
Well buddy I have learnt from my own mistakes why not to start too heavy when trying to progress in a training programme with 3 to 4 working sets. I tried to start off with a weight that I could do 3 reps with and figured that over the weeks I could add more sets if needed, and steadily increase the weight to where it would result in more reps per set as I got stronger - I couldn't really see how this would fail lolView attachment 279344
Training is starting to heat up, today I layered in 100mg of Tren... premature? Sure, but I am getting hungry lol.
My routine is basically an upper/lower split
Tuesday (upper) bench volume focus
Wednesday (lower) squat focus
Thursday (optional) extra back volume
Saturday (upper) Bench strength focus
Sunday (lower) squat volume focus
The tren is butter, going to be hard to stay at 100mg for an extended period of time, lol the struggle
This deserves a response. Give me a few and I got youWell buddy I have learnt from my own mistakes why not to start too heavy when trying to progress in a training programme with 3 to 4 working sets.

It went well at first as I was able to add a few extra sets and increase the working weight in the 2nd and 3rd sets by 1kg each time. But then as time went on this became MUCH harder to the point where I was only just getting the lifts up. Now I can no longer get the final set and overall I feel as if I have got weaker!! It felt like I knocked my CNS out too.
So I will try using 80% now as the working weight, and see how things go from there
Why is it buddy that the body cannot adapt to a higher load - I would of thought in time that small increments in weight would lead to increases in reps in the lighter sets, but it hasn't. Is the strain and overload on the CNS simply too much on a regular occurrence?
Also mate, why does the body find it easier to tolerate more reps at a lower weight than lower reps at a higher rate? Surely more overall volume with more reps would leave it more tired and unable to recover than lower reps and volume?
Hope the house move all went well mate and you have managed to get back into training properly again

I never record my training sessions buddy unless I am going for a PR - all you would probably see is me chest fuckin the bar anyway!!! LmaoWhere is that video !

I did back down my sets 5% of 1RM last session a few days ago and it went a lot better.
Love this little challenge, and who would come out on top?Where is that video !
He's a lot stronger than me mate, I'm just trying to learn some programming tricks/basics off him to increase my max so I don't take so long to recover between sessions and can increase my frequency a little.Love this little challenge, and who would come out on top?
If you made a video and shared it with him he might give you some good advice.He's a lot stronger than me mate, I'm just trying to learn some programming tricks/basics off him to increase my max so I don't take so long to recover between sessions and can increase my frequency a little.
Not a comp, just trying to provide more meaningful advice which is hard without some visual data.Love this little challenge, and who would come out on top?
