Yes, you've been infected

[Mainer215]

Yes, you've been infected

Now how can I get infected. Woody's metabolism would be one great sickness to have.

[BabyOilBrah]

Catching up a bit here, awesome pics from the hike over the weekend. Some great views you guys have up there.

Loving the deloadish workout, paused squats feeling that good is a nice sign of heavy weights to be lifted. Whats the plan for next week? Sticking with what you've been doing or TM?

Thanks big guy! Autumn hikes FTW! Clear air and colors everywhere!

it has spread west too. i was thrashing a box of fruity pebbles and a couple cupcakes last night while watching crossfit games (no homo) and realized how awesome reverse diet is. lol at poverty cutting

[dopamine72]

What weights you gonna use for the start of TM?

Also, I only did light front squats for my squat movement on recovery day, yet they still went up fast. I believe I was using 65% of my 1rm for 3x5. Super easy. I couldn't believe they still shot up from only doing them light. I think it was the combo of back squat/ab wheel/heavy upper back work that caused this. You ever experience that?

[Woody-5]

Check my log

Doin it rite

Squats I'm thinking 285 or so VD, 315 ID
Bench I'll prob start VD at 250, 275 ID

I'm toying with doing 3x5 bench volume then 3x5 of a supplemental move, (CGBP, floor press etc)

Id love to see front squat progress on recovery day! Last time I just did light back squats but I'm planning on 3x3 fronts for this run

[GinjaNinja85]

Liking the idea for bench volume. Funnily enough, I had a related conversation with a powerlifter/strongman friend of mine today and he was suggesting I up the assistance work for my glutes and hamstrings to bring my squat closer to my deadlift. It got me thinking about whether I could structure my volume dose in such a way that targeted my weak points a little better , much like your 3x5 plus accessory lift set up.

Also, please tell me more about this reverse dieting! By PM or a link, or whatever

I'm hoping it'll be a nice balance! My bench appreciates some nice heavy assistance work.

Reverse diet works well after a long period of cutting

For example you finish cut on 2000 cals a day
Week 1: 2100 cals a day
Week 2: 2200 a day
Week 3: 2300 etc
Small bumps every week. Get stronger, eat more, potentially lose fat for awhile. Stoked metabolism to epic levels before even gaining weight

[The Solution]

Dont need to bump every week, while some think its necessary it is not. Reverse dieting just has to deal with the OPPOSITE of dieting hence Reverse.
When you diet what is the goal to lose BF and weight in a slow manner and retain muscle.
so therefore when you diet you drop kcals or add cardio when stalls happen. Or you hold steady because you see the mirror change.

Reverse diet instead of dropping cals and adding cardio you do the opposite when you are done dieting you add calories and drop cardio in a slow manner to help repair the metabolism, rebuild and get some more muscle on your frame and also see how well you can add kcals back into your diet while holding your leaness and also trying to aid in a lower BF Setpoint from your long term or cut diet you just went through.

The mirror is the #1 tool for dieting or reverse dieting , and then the scale. some weeks you wont need to add kcals or drop cardio you just hold put because you look leaner.

man, whenever I cut next I need to actually do this. Problem is by the end of any time I have cut, the kcal levels I'm at are so far from my pre-cut maintenance that I get impatient waiting 12 weeks to be back above maintenance lol

reverse is tough- hunger goes apesh!t when the metabolism ramps back up. So hard not to go full retard on teh foodz

[DominationStation]

Ending with 3x10 WG sounds like quite a challenge! Do you ever have a hard time activating your lats? I know I do sometimes...

[MWheatley]

85x10 db incline for deload...really bro...really

Looking forward to seeing what you can do during this next program. Have a good weekend man!

[Ironlife]

SO many nice eats i missed out on. Lovely views too wood!

[ErikTheElectric]

Feel like this deload week FLEW by.. can't wait to see you smoke some more PRs boss!


Plans for the weekend?

[HunterMC6]

Reverse diet sounds like win! If I ever feel like cutting I will have to give that a go after.

[fittofattofit]

Nice 'deload' with the 205 front squats and the 85 incline DBs
Have you done TM before? Given that you managed to bump your lifts while you were cutting, I'm expecting to see some big gains in strength and size with this reverse diet Woody

Id love to see front squat progress on recovery day! Last time I just did light back squats but I'm planning on 3x3 fronts for this run

Do you think that will be enough volume for bench? I know Jshaw is only doing 3x5 for bench and squats now. Seems like it might not be enough but maybe that's just me. I say do 3x5 Bench followed by 3x5 SOHP. I bet your pressing will shoot up hardcore lol. Then on ID do 1x5 bench and 1x5 SOHP. This is assuming you're on a calorie surplus and everything is in check for gains to be possible.

3x3 front squats should probably be enough. I say do 4-5x3 tho. LOL me and my volume. It is light weight, not to failure so the extra volume shouldn't hurt. Should help!

If you remember for my volume pressing day I did 5x5 bench with 5x5 SOHP. Then on ID day 1x5 bench and 1x5 SOHP. Pressing shot up so fast I couldn't believe it. Jrahe did the same thing too and he hit a 375 bench if I recall.

[Woody-5]

Ending with 3x10 WG sounds like quite a challenge! Do you ever have a hard time activating your lats? I know I do sometimes...

I used to have that problem not really feeling the lats working with any of my pulls, rows etc.
Time under tension training helped me develop the MMC with the lats. controlled reps, pauses and painfully slow negatives.

85x10 db incline for deload...really bro...really

Looking forward to seeing what you can do during this next program. Have a good weekend man!

lmao I said fuk it, why not
Gonna do some cardio only today then rest up for TM kickoff Monday!
Thanks dude!

SO many nice eats i missed out on. Lovely views too wood!

Thanks my man! We've found some hella fine views this summer from some of the mountain tops

Feel like this deload week FLEW by.. can't wait to see you smoke some more PRs boss!


Plans for the weekend?

my body is ready for moar PRs
just a quiet weekend planned. Do a little cooking, a bit of eating, probably a lot of sitting on my ass in front of the TV hah
how's bout you?

Reverse diet sounds like win! If I ever feel like cutting I will have to give that a go after.

definitely the way to go!

Thanks dude!
I've done 2 runs of TM, both with much success. When my formerly fatass hit a 405x1 squat @ 209 BW, it was at the end of a TM run.

Do you think that will be enough volume for bench? I know Jshaw is only doing 3x5 for bench and squats now. Seems like it might not be enough but maybe that's just me.

heh you're a machine dude, always crushing that volume!
I appreciate all the tips, definitely a lot of ways to attack it. I've got the weekend to stew it over. I might just start out with the traditional 5x5 squat/bench and go from there. I know that combo will work nicely for me. I need to get an idea of the time restraints as well before I throw too much more at it.

[wishiwasdivin]

Your deload work is some ppl max good stuff brotha

[howimliving]
