    1/4 Delts/tris hypertrophy

    I incorporated alot of dropsets today. I feel a great pump when I do them with my delts. This was a very high volume workout so next time Ill prob cut a couple sets down, could really tell how fatigued they were by my machine delt press. A technique I don't use near enough is reverse pyramid. I used it on my rear delt raises-starting with a heavier weight for lower reps and progressing to lower weight higher reps.

    1. DB seated shoulder press- 80-10, 85-10, 90-10 Dropset to 35-10
    2. Close grip flat bench- 225-10, 235-10, 245-8 Dropset to 135-10
    3. STanding side DB lateral raise- 20-14, 30-12, 35-10, 40-7 Dropset to 20-12
    4. Seated overhead DB tricep extension- 100-10, 105-9, 105-10
    5. Bent over single DB rear delt raise- 45-8, 35-10, 30-12 pause 15 sec-8 pause 30 sec-8
    6. Decline EZ bar tri extension- WPS- 25-12, 25-12, 27.5-10
    7. Flex fitnessSeated delt press machine- 150-13, 135-13 (Delts were very fatigued at this point)
    8. Side cable single delt raise- 30-12, 30-12
    9. Vbar tricep pressdown- 185-10, 200-10
    10. Tricep rope extension- 37.5-12, 37.5-12

    Keep any eye on shoulder fatigue during prep. With the upper power day, the chest hypertrophy day and the shoulder hypertrophy day you are getting shoulder work directly or indirectly 3 times a week right now. I keep the volume very low for shoulder day for this reason. I also moved my shoulder day to chest\back last prep to allow another day of recovery. Nice sessions.

    Ya thats a great point. Will definitely lower my volume so they feel fresh, especially for the upper power days. I just get conscious on losing shoulder muscle due to lack of frequency. I plan on adding a tad more to my upper power days and lessening my delt hypertrophy day.

    1/9 Update

    1/5 Lower Hypertrophy

    I switched my lift up a little today. I wanted to get some back squat work in, as well as sumo deadlifts to really help hit my hammies and glutes. I don't think I will be going heavy on back squat for a while due to lower back problems/risks so this is a great chance for me to get the same benefits just hitting them in a higher rep range. I also included the HS V Squat machine. On these I face towards the back, almost like a front squat. These hit my quads great and are easy on my knees. I am continuing with dumbbell lunges and incorporating the seated hamstring curl- on these I squeeze for at least a good 1-2 seconds.

    1. Back Squat- 275-10, 295- 10, 315-10, 315-10
    2. Sumo Deads- 315-10, 335-10, 345-10, 350-10 (My glutes were killing me the next day!)
    3. HS Reverse V squat machine WPS- 115-12, 135-10, 145-10
    4. Walking DB lunges- 55-12, 55-12, 60-10, DS 25-10
    5. Flex Fitness Seated Hamstring curl- 165-15, 195-12, 210-12, 225-12
    SUPERSET WITH
    6. Standing calf raise- 165-10, 180-10, 180-10, 180-10
    7. Seated Leg extensions- 150-14, 165-14, 285-10 Dropset to 210-10, Dropset to 105-10
    SUPERSET WITH
    8. Lying Ham curl- 105-12, 105-12, 105-12
    9. Flex Fitness Donkey calve extensions- 120-14, 135-12, 135-14, 150-12, 165-12
    10. Flex Fitness Leg Press single calve extensions- 120-15, 135-15, 150-15 Pause 15 sec-10 Pause 30 sec- 10

    1/6 Off from weights/Cardio/Abs

    1/7 Upper Power

    Today felt awesome. Always enjoy a workout with new exercises, but I also felt very strong. Got 125 for 6 reps on last two sets, looking to get 3 sets next week- once again a stronger week. Through in weighted pullups, I am hoping to get some results from doing these- one of my favorite lat and overall back exercises. Stook with weighted chest dips and will again next week. Hit 115 for 6 on last two sets, this is easily the strongest I've ever been on this exercise. Also through in Incline bench dumbbell rows on my power day. Loved these on my hypertrophy days and really wanted to hit these with some heavy weight! Continued with the HS OHP for delts and added a heavy dropset on single side dumbbell raise. Want to hit a little bit more on my power days since I have so much rest in between hitting them.

    1. Incline DB press- 105-6, 115-6, 125-6, 125-6
    2. Weighted pullups w/ DB between legs- 25-6, 30-6, 35-6, 35-6
    3. Weighted chest dips w/ dumbbell- 100-6, 110-6, 115-6, 115-6
    4. Incline DB rows- 70-8, 80-8, 85-6, 90-6
    5. Seated HS delt press WPS- 135-5, 140-5, 145-5, 150-5 DS 90-7 DS 70-10
    6. Incline EZ bar tricep extensions WPS- 40-6, 45-6, 50-6, 55-5 DS 25-12
    SUPER SET WITH
    7. Short flat bar bicep curls WPS- 35-8, 40-6, 40-6, 40-6 DS 25-10
    8. Single side DB raise- 50-8 DS 35-10 DS 25-12
    9. 20 minutes MISS on bike

    These shots were from last weekend. Finally learned how to post pics on the forum so I will continue updating and make this as interesting as possible. Seem to be leaning out quickest in my quads, arms and delts

    1/18 Update
    Its been a while since I last posted due to being so busy with my 2 jobs, school, work and fitting bodybuilding to everyday life. The past week started a little slow. Since my last refeed, I had started gaining weight, weighing in 224-225 for a few days. I consulted with Paul and luckily I listened to him. My weight dropped back down to 223 for a couple days and woke up today at 222.2- so the weights coming off hopefully being mostly fat! My strength has been still very solid. Im working my way up to 4 sets of 125 for 6 reps on my power days, I am hoping to get that within the next couple weeks- once I feel solid with that weight I will most likely switch to incline barbell press or flat barbell press for a few weeks. I went the heaviest I have ever attempted and was able to do 120 dumbbells for a solid 4-5 reps on my dips, these felt great but will probably change up the exercise as well in coming weeks. I have been doing weighted pull ups and incline bench DB rows for my back power days. Love these two. Have always been a huge fan of weighted pullups for my back. Hoping to be able to hit the 50 pound DB soon for a solid 6 reps- that will be my goal for the next few weeks. I love the squeeze on the incline rows-my goal is to work into the 100-125 range for reps. I will more than likely change up my delt movement next work out. I have been doing the HS seated shoulder press for a few months now. Not sure what I plan on adding because thats a very fatiguing day and would rather not do a DB or BB delt press- may do a smith machine press. The most I have been able to get is 150-5 WPS. I feel happy with that and am ready to move onto a different lift. Im not too worried about my bicep or tricep power lift. Lately i have been doing flat barbell curl and an incline overhead extension. May do the dip machine next time. My biggest concerns are kicking ass with my leg and back days. I hit a PR of first time attempting 4 plates on barbell RDLs for a solid 4 reps. My left knee has been a little sore recently so made sure my legs were ready to go this week because I was getting my first pair of squatting shoes, Rogue Do-Wins. Was very excited, my previous shoes were ripping and couldnt have been worse to squat in. Was able to improve my power front squat day to 310 for 5 reps. I went up to 320 for 2 sets of 3. I was going down too low and the plates kept hitting my squat rack plate holder- the worst invention ever lol. Next time I will squat in the power rack and will try my best to get 320 for 4 reps and 325-3. I have changed the power day and added hack squats. I wanted to utilize the squat shoes more lol. Felt great, was on the easier hack squat- forget who makes it but its the one at the newer LA fitnesses I guess and got a PR of 4 plates and a 25 for 8 reps after front squats and RDLs. My back hypertrophy days I have been really experimenting. Lately I have been using the assisted pull up machine doing them as a third or fourth exercise to really feel the squeeze when my backs already fatigued. Also been doing tbar rows and underhand pulldowns. Love hitting a high volume back day-something I can always work on!

    1/20 Update

    Chest/Bis Hypertrophy
    -This was probably the worst workout I have had in a while-definitely so far this prep. I think its because I slept too long the night before. WHenever I wake up really late I tend to feel very tired the rest of the day. I just felt very fatigued this work out. Did terrible on my pressing movement especially. After only getting 125 for 9, I just went down from there. No need to workt ill failure and kill myself. Moved down to 120s, then to 110s for 10 reps. Incline wasnt much better. Got 2 sets of 215 for 10 reps which was decent. Rest of the lift kept same weight as last week. Each workout I make sure to incorporate a technique into each muscle group-either dropsets, pause sets, double pause sets, reverse pyramid etc. I love throwing these in to really maximize blood flow in the muscle.

    1. Flat DB press-115-10, 125-9, 120-10, 110-10
    2. Incline BB press- 205-10, 215-10, 215-10 DS 135-8
    3. Decline HS chest press WPS- 160-8, 145-10, 135-10, 115-12 *Reverse pyramid technique*
    4. Incline DB flys- 60-10, 65-10, 70-8, 70-8
    5. Bent over cable flys- 60-12, 60-12, 60-12 PS 15 sec 6 PS 30 sec-8
    6. Seated alt. DB curls 35-12, 40-10, 45-10 PS 15 sec-5
    7. Close grip EZ bar curls- 50-14, 60-14, 80-10
    8. SIngle DB preacher curls-35-12, 40-12, 45-10
    9. Alt. DB hammer curls- 50-12, 50-10, 65-8 DS 45-10, 30-15
