Got my workout done in the AM yesterday before work. Was a pretty good workout, actually felt pretty good working out first thing. Was pretty tired later in the day though, but I think if I kept consistent with working out earlier I'd adjust in a few days. Might be taking this approach once I move to Tampa b/c (1) I heard my new gym gets pretty crowded at night and (2) it would free up my evenings to spend more time with my wife.
Hoping to hit deadlifts later with Paul, maybe capture my all-out set on video if we canLack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. ~Plato

How you likin the Juggernaut? Looks like you are several workouts ahead of me.......im starting the 8's wave on Wed. One more deload session tonight. What do you think of the prescribed deloads? They seemed a bit over the top candy ass to me. I added significant poundage to the deload numbers and still felt like it was too light of a deload.

Good night in the gym. Currently, per the program, deloading all the TJM lifts so nothing really exciting last night, other than the fact I was able to use an actual GHR machine
We'll get plenty of epic workouts in together now that we're both training in epic gyms!
Yup, haven't completely switched yet but I'm thinking of doing it. Seemed to be more fresh as well since it's not the end of a long work day.
I mix in the protein last. I use De Novo MPS Pure
I'm liking it so far. The deloads kind of suck, but they actually worked out great for me this time since I just got finished with my stressful move to Tampa and I needed a little bit of a break from going all out in the gym. I think they will help if you look at the big picture.Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. ~Plato

In my first go around I skipped the deload 1 of the 4 times and didn't feel that it negatively affected me at all. I skipped it between the 3's and 1's wave where volume was down, but I think you can easily do back to back waves if you feel like it.

Yeah, I think don't be afraid to deviate from the program if you feel like you don't need it or progress is really moving along. That's probably my best takeaway from 5/3/1 and Juggernaut.

I used the juggernaut lift as a kind of warm-up for the workouts this week and kept the intensity up or added volume to the accessory lifts. I'm basically trying to listen to my body within the structure of the RPE sets. It is pretty nice this week though as my life has been pretty hectic regarding my new job and the fact I'm still unpacking tons of stuff after my move. Looking forward to upping the rep ranges for the accessory work next week (8-10) while I move into the 5 rep range on my juggernaut lifts. Time to start making those gainz!

Just did a bout of HIIT, was trying to use a new spin-type bike at the gym but couldn't get it working so I just settled on using the recumbent bike.
That's what it's feeling like, my strength is still down a bunch from before prep. Hope it comes back soon.
It's another great one like 5/3/1, PHAT, or many others where there's some core principles/lifts and the accessory stuff you can adjust based on your goals. PM me and I'll send you some reading materials.
Thanks, and you just reminded me to make another cheesecake this weekend

Quick night in the gym. One more deload workout today and then the 5's wave begins. Will be moving accessory work more in the hypertrophy rep range while the juggernaut sets go more into the power rep range.
Weight is finally back down, seems to be stabilizing, and my body comp is returning to a somewhat normal state (no more bloat). I'll be cutting back on the cardio now and hopefully adding calories back in each week. Time to get this reverse started the right way
I think it's sometime in March over in Tampa. I'll be sure to let you know when I find out the details. Would be a fun day!Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. ~Plato

Deadlifts were easy, pushed myself a bit on the front squats. I think once I get used to the choking feeling of the bar on my throat I'll be able to push the weight a bit more. Battle ropes were pretty fun
Some bloat might be back after all the goodies I had at the office. New job is for a pretty small marketing firm, but they seem to treat their employee's right when it comes to catering food, so many good things at the office yesterday, couldn't resist

Good pump workout on Saturday. Slipped a bit with my reverse again over the weekend again. My niece had her first b-day party and I didn't really track anything mostly for Saturday and Sunday, and I definitely ate way too much. But I was enjoying myself and had a fun time. Gonna be avoiding the scale until later this week lol. I'll just through in a little extra cardio earlier this week and see where I settle come Thursday.
Yeah, was doing pretty good until this weekend. Had some great italian food yesterday that's for sure

Your reverse sounds like its going a lot like mine
Especially that post about tracking macros till dinner then losing track. It's easy to eat regimented healthy meals during the work day, isn't it? Oh well, life is nothing without enjoying food from time to time. Besides, contest prep would be too simple if we had no fat to lose!

Diet was on point, training was on point. Not much more to say other than my pressing felt pretty good last night. 180 felt light actually on the bench
Yup, I'm not planning on stepping on stage for at least a few years so I just gotta get the notion of staying super lean out of my head. Gotta get bigger, and the only way to do that is eat more
I'll be there in attendance, just not participating. It's a pretty big meet though, and the people who run it are awesome.
For me it's mainly been triggered when I go for long periods without food. There were some circumstances that didn't let me eat for like 6-7 hours between meals. By that time I'm so hungry I don't care about tracking anything lol. If I can keep my meals spaced around 4-5 hours, then it's much easier for me to eat food in moderation. I just need to learn to keep some snacks on me if I'm gonna be busy or out so I don't get to the point where I'm starving.Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. ~Plato
