    Post Layne Norton's PHAT: Workout log

    Hey guys, decided to start logging my progress after having been on this routine for a few weeks now! Lifts have risen considerably and I'm happy with how things are.
    For those who are familiar with the PHAT routine, you'll notice one or two differences in exercise choice simply due to my gym lacking certain machines e.g. hack squat machine, and lying hamstring curl machine. Others have been switched due to preference or in the case of skull crushers being switched for CGBP, skull crushers completely destroy my elbows so I switched them out.

    For those who aren't familiar with the routine, for me it looks like this:

    Monday: Upper body power
    Tuesday: Lower body power
    Wednesday: Rest
    Thursday: Back & Shoulders hypertrophy
    Friday: Lower body hypertrophy
    Saturday: Chest & Arms hypertrophy (with ab work thrown in at the en)
    Sunday: Rest

    All weight figures are in KG as I'm in the UK I'll be posting lifts in the form: EDIT: Just going to list it, makes it easier to read

    I will try my best to get some footage on here for you guys to you can post your thoughts or critique my form etc

    As for supplements I'm using if anyone's interested;
    Pre Work Out: N.O. Xplode 2.0 / Cellucor M5 extreme
    Post workout: Maximuscle Progain
    Whey: MyProtein impact whey isolate
    [I also take a multi vitamin and omega 3 fish oil all]


    Today's workout will be up shortly Hope to see you guys following!

    PHAT is good stuff bro. Ran it a few years back. One thing I would recommend is to schedule a deload week every two months or so. So that you do not burn out from pushing it hard in the gym always.

    Some of my gains have been great man yeah, at least strength wise! Yeah I read that de-loading thing up on the article! Thanks bro When you de-loaded did you keep rep-ranges and sets the same but just lowered the weight to 65% of the normal weight used?

    It really depended on how long i went on without a deload.

    6-8 weeks: bout 60-65% of weight used during training, while just doing 10-12reps on everything else. nothing to failure.

    12week-up: 50% of weight used during training and about half the number of sets. Keeping assistance/accessory work to 10-12reps. nothing to failure.

    Deload so that you give your CNS a break and to recover from all the heavy lifting.

    Ah right fair enough thanks man! I might keep it going for another 6 weeks or so, then have a de-load then continue! I'm yet to hit any sort of plateau's, lifts are all improving!

    Good to hear man. Just base it on how things go as you progress. The deloads also help prepare you to train even harder. I'm sure you will notice this after trying a deload week.haha

    We avoid risks in life...so we can make it safely to death.

    When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'

    No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training… what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

    I rep back 400+, just write 400+

    5/3/1....Go!

    Don't think too much about providing "impressive figures" focus on slowly improving yourself and you will be there without even realizing it!

    I didn't mean I'm going to ego lift man, especially on hypertrophy days technique is so much more important than the weight. I know what you mean though, my squats have slowly but surely risen, which is pleasing

    Never been good at BB so for me, those numbers are certainly an improvement. My flat DB pressing will have definitely helped those numbers. Will shoot for 95kg and maybe 100kg next week. And yes, it was touching my chest.

    Weighted dips

    Close grip bench press

    60kgx10
    80kgx8
    85kgx5


    Quite happy with a lot of those lifts to be honest. Don't know why my CGBP and my BB BP are so close. Strong triceps perhaps?

    Lower body power

    So today I decided to improve squat form. Being honest with myself I think I've just been above parallel, and I just thought f**k it, form > weight so I started going below parallel with a slightly wider stance. Will post video soon for form check.

    Squats

    60kgx12
    80kgx10
    100kgx4
    100kgx4
    100kgx4 Drop set -> 60kgx12

    Cable leg press

    200kgx8
    200kgx10

    Seated single legged leg extensions

    35kg: Rx10, Lx10
    40kg: Rx10, Lx10
    50kg: Rx6, Lx6

    Seated hamstring curls

    80kgx7
    80kgx7
    80kgx7

    Seated dumbbell calf raise (weight is TOTAL weight, so divide by 2 for each dumbbell weight)

    100kgx15
    100kgx15
    100kgx15

    Those really burned lol.


    Decent workout overall. Felt good, and didn't need that much rest. Thankfully an off day tomorrow though.

    Strength gains definitely.
    Started off flat pressing 40kg DB's, peaked at 50kg DB's which is when I injured my shoulder.
    Squats went from 100kg to 120kg, but that was only to parallel so I've de-loaded to sort my technique out and go below parallel.

    For the shoulder issue, I took a week off completely, then just switched to Barbell for a bit. Started on monday and repped 90kgx5 (which I'd never done before so definitely linking that to the strong DB press I had). Make sure you do rotator cuff exercises for your shoulder also. If your shoulder goes completely you'll be out of upper-body for a potentially very long time.
