Trapmonster's hopeful road to competition

I would get the 5RM on Friday and use 80% of that on the next Monday. Increase weekly from there. Also the latest version of TM has deadlift on Friday rather than Monday.

You really don't want this starting out hard or it's going to get unmanageable way too fast.
Noted, will go off my Friday maxes. Do you happen to have the latest tm template?
 
That's what I said. The templates for powerlifting are really neat. They have algorithms in the spreadsheets that calculate your lifts by entering your max numbers. It makes me want to do clerical excel work all over again! Which by the way, if anyone needs help doing so to a work out routine, I can gladly help

Rather than post a million screenshots I'll just explain the next part as I know this stuff by heart. If you want any of the pages for better reference just let me know and I'll post it.

After this it goes on to talk about running through other rep ranges on intensity day. When you fall an intensity day or feel you will the next week you'll switch from 1x5 to 2x3. You just increase the weight by 5lbs from your 1x5 to your 2x3, so it's actually more total volume and you'll progress that way for awhile. Then to 3x2 and 5x1 and eventually back to 1x5 and you should be able to make gains there for awhile.

From there it's recommended that you cycle your intensity days as you've now got a feel for it. Like you'd do a 5's week, then a 3's week, then a 1's week, then you add 5lbs and repeat. It's a way to keep progressing at a slower rate and avoid missing reps.

Now eventually there's more advanced concepts and templates and even other books written by other people on ways to keep progressing. I spent over half of last year reading these and trying out a lot of different ways to go about this. If you get to that point I'll be happy to point you in the right direction or go over the stuff with you.

It was something like this, huh?
 
Quick update:

So first of, I thought I had enough Tren a to use through out my cycle but I guess I got rid of it, so I starter to do 75mg ace eod with 600 Tren e weekly. I started it on my third week. I'm up to 198 in weight, but not much difference in looks so I'm guessing at least 6-8 lbs is water. I also upped my deca to 300mg weekly as I have been having my tendinitis acting up on my right forearm. My strength isn't up just yet, but I am starting to feel a slight increase. Other than that not much to update. TM really is whopping my ass though that's for sure. My workouts have been uploaded as well.2016-06-22 12.36.03.png
 
Update: since ot has been whoopin my ass at work these last 2 weeks with 70+ hours a week, I decided to single muscle split this week. I missed my last 2 days of TM last week, so I don't wanna be slackin' on my pimpin'. Nutrition hasn't been as good as last cycle, I'm only up about 10 pounds so far. 198-200. Strength is slowly starting to increase. Something that has slowed my progress down too has been having to switch from tren ace to e 2 weeks in so I will have to be at 6 weeks in before Tren e has been in for 4 weeks. I'm going to up the Kcals and increase protein. I will update with progress pics sometime this week. Question for the vets. Since I'm on sust. Should I stay on sust for the whole remainder of the cycle or could I sub in test e halfway through or towards the end? My guess is it would lag to have the e kick in later, but the fact that at the end of the day it's test, maybe it could be interchangeable? @Wunderpus and any other sust experiencedexperienced users?
