Long Off-Season to Classic D Class Weight Cap

[Jtlittle88]

Alright! Cut is on. No clen, no yohimbe or anything. Just dropped high carb day, swapped ment for masteron, decreased eq by 1/2, added one day cardio, and +5 min per day (total half an hour 6:7 days a week) and now have new training program. I still have 1 optional cheat meal per week.


Program is very similar to last program, so I will be able to gauge strength changes, however I have fewer intensifiers, so I can maintain better or hopefully still make a bit of progress. For example, before I would incline press 160kg x 6 then rest pause 100kg for 20. Next I will just do a flat set of 100kg for 12 reps and maybe take 5kg off the top set and try for 7-8 reps instead.

I am deloading this week, and really needed it to be honest. My sleep got effected by overtraining/overreaching symptoms and my lifts met a plateau. It took 6 months to get there and I made pretty consistent progress so I feel like I am also mentally benefiting from this deload week. I’ve really been trying my best day in and out, and with trying to be the best parent I can be I have really been pretty exhausted recently.

What’s new training like?

What’s new training like?

All triple drop sets are reduced to double drop or removed.
No cluster sets.
No rest pause sets.
Mostly 1 top set + back off for legs + pressing
Pull is flat sets, 3 super set, 1 top and back off
Still have 2 fst7 sets and 2 RTR sets per week.

Deload finished, new cycle started. Still went pretty heavy with arms and chest, a bit less volume. Introduced incline treadmill on the weekend again, since now my cycling for commute isn’t enough. Most of my cardio is taking my daughter to kindergarten, going to work and picking her up on my bicycle and going home in the off season. This won’t be enough especially for last couple weeks of cut. Will do stairs too once I am a bit more accustomed to incline. Every change slowly.

875 test, 350 mast, 187.5 eq, I am supposed to keep growing into the cut. It will go lower as the cut continues and then we go into low doses (like trt) where we will rebound.

Pay attention to your ankles as long/hard inclines can beat them up pretty bad if you're not flexible enough; I find it very helpful to stretch on the treadmill immediately after each session.

Looking thick; ready for a new productive off season!

Incline is the only way I can get it done on a treadmill, if I do it flat I will get really bad pump in shins and then shin splints. The shortened range of motion makes it much easier for my joints.

Thanks! Yeah in 2 months I’ll be ready to keep putting on more muscle nice and easy
