Rigeu’s offseason bodybuilding log

[Oakley6575]

Honestly delts i have the least injections, i rotate between left right glute then left right lat then i spread my injection volume between left and right delts. So about 1 shot every 1,5 week and then half the injection volume in both heads.

You read my question wrong. I was talking about training. How many weekly sets do you do per body part?

You read my question wrong. I was talking about training. How many weekly sets do you do per body part?

Oh shit i see it haha!

Weekly i don’t actually now man. In the split i’m doing right now i’m hitting every muscle group every 4-6 days.

week 1:
legs, push, pull, rest, legs, push, rest
week 2:
Back, arms, legs, rest, push, pull, rest

Repeat week 1

The amount of sets depens on the phase i’m in. My recovery etc.

Sets per workout:
Chest is about 9-12 sets (every 5 days)
Shoulders about 6-8 sets (every 3-4 days)
Triceps 6-8 (every 3-4 days)
Back 10-15 (every 5 days)
Biceps 6-8 (every 3-4 days)
Quads 9-12 (every 5 days)
Hamstrings 6-8 (every 5 days)
Calves 4-6 (3 times per week)
Abs 4-6 (2 times per week)

Weight is slowly creeping up. Around 104kg but still very lean, so a lot more room to increase calories. Gaining about 0,2kg - 0,5kg BW Weekly so that’s in a good spot. Workouts progressing every session. Small jumps, but better that nothing.

Peds stay the same, calories will increase after the weekend again! I’ll post a full day of eating with macro breakdown to give you guys an idea

 

[Jaxino]

Every set is to failure?

Yes worksets are all to technical failure, that’s why you see a regression in reps in excersises i stay on the same weight for multiple reps.

Yeah i was guessing that too.
Have you ever tried training with top sets, back off? Or you prefer this style because of simplicity?

In the end progressive overload is what counts.

I do mix of both man! And like you’re saying it both works all what matters is progressive overload.

I like to top and back off sets for most of my compound work on push days. Before i did it on every single muscle groups but i got into tendon issues, especially my knees!

Since switching it up to a tidy higher rep range i really improved my back and legs. Got a better mind muscle connection and the best after all.. my patella tendons are fine and don’t hate me any longer lol.

Got to find out what works for you!

You are doing great.
I like this.
And you are figuring it all out by yourself, as you go, so well done.

Also, cannot see any tattoos on you (not a fan).
Keep it that way. It's brilliant and, nowadays, rare.

You are fire.

P.S. stop getting naked at the gym, in case there is someone there high on tren and then you are in trouble.
Unless you like that kind of trouble, that is.
Not judging.
Lol

Zero tattoos over here! Lots of friends got tattoos but i’m also not a big fan also.. i’m thinking that i would waste muscle separations lol.

Haha no definitely not gay lol, i got you but in a hardcore gym it’s no problem to take of clothes. Everybody is sharing the same passion over there!

Good.
Brownie points to you from yours truly.

OK, so you guys are all getting naked there.
Fair enough.
And practical. If the air con ain't working, you are on top of things.

However, my observation was because we always look out for one another at Meso.
Thanks to you guys, I am now well versed on the dangers posed by individuals trenned up to their eyeballs.
It's a thing.
Lol

Thanks for the reply.
Take care and have a good Sunday.
Look forward to your update, next week
