Workout Notes:
By the end of this whole thing, I did regain all of the weight back to 146.2 however, I find it interesting to note that I had lifted the same amount of weight and even bested my previous PR whilst being much, much lighter than I am usually. I don't prefer working out with that little water weight that I had.

Great workout, bud!!!! Rep PRs are always satisfying.... Awesome deadlift and pullup work.

All this talk of blueberry yogurt is making me hungry..... Ahhh

[Malversation]

I love blueberries and yogurt! Great stuff. I like the routine you are using. Is it one you made up or did you find it somewhere?

Thanks! I created the routine about 6 months ago and have been tweaking it over time.

Just... nice. I'm in awe! that's a hell of a lot of weight to be moving.

Workout Notes:
I only implemented front squats 2 sessions ago - honestly, I think it was the right choice as its forcing me to say far more upright than I was in the past. My flexibility is also improving as I can go slightly deeper on the romanian deadlift. I've a lot to improve on as far as leg strength goes and I believe that tis' coming every so slowly.

solid bb front squat work!

Miss my border collie, she used to make us chase her whenever we took her to the park and my legs would be toast.

Strong Front Squats and Romanian DLs!! Awesome job

Thanks! I am hoping that the addition of Front Squats that I've added will contribute to my deadlift as well as fixing any dominace I've between my back and quads.

Miss my border collie, she used to make us chase her whenever we took her to the park and my legs would be toast.

She sounds like she was amazing, I can't imagine the pain I'll be stricken with when my dog goes. My condolences on that.

Great looking dog you have here.

She's a beaut! Looks like you need to be handing over her plate of food tho.

Good amount of volume hitting the legs today. Nice work on those front squats!

Front squats are gonna help you for sure in the coming days

Love front squats, I do them one day during the week and regular squats the other day. Both are wonderful

Workout Notes:
Cleans are done as a way to get the bar up for the push-press (I prefer to do it standing and I am too tall to do push-Press in my basement) hence the '1' reps.

I also can't wait to get back into the 'volume' phase of my training have spent so long(5 weeks now) in the more intense phases. That will be done 2 leg sessions from now, or 9 days (I will take a rest day, do my 1rms and then reset my program from there for the applicable compounds) For that I will write out a small report detailing my increases and so forth.

Workout notes:
I did some form work on the deadlift to gauge my weaknesses and where I should go from here. My findings are thus:
-> Hamstring strength needs to be improved, a lot. It's lagging behind my lumbar immensely
-> Quadricep/Glute strength also should be improved. My legs are THE limiting factor in my deadlift without a doubt.

I skipped on ab and trap work from my usual amount due to them both being worked a lot by the volume of deadlifts, I don't suspect this will be an issue.

Since beginning my flexibility routine, I can really feel my hamstrings getting more flexible which's also helping my form overall, imo.

[mvd546]

Nice training today with the deads and rows!! More PR's!! Look's like the stack is helping yo make some gains!

[Malversation]

I am going to make an off the usual post and explain some disparities with rep ranges within my training.
My main compounds follow a block that follows the following:
Block 1-3:
5-4-3 1rm% 70-75-80
6-5-4 1rm% 70-75-80
5-4-3 1rm% 72-77-82

Block 3-6:
4-3-2 1rm% 75-80-85
5-4-3 1rm% 75-80-85
4-3-2 1rm% 77-82-87

Block 6-9:
3-2-1 1rm% 80-85-90
4-3-2 1rm% 80-85-90
3-2-1 1rm% 82-87-92

As you can see my compounds under 300 follow that (Various Presses/Squats/Romanian Deadlift) however the Deadlift, Pullup and Barbell Shrug don't.. Why? The answer is I don't happen to have weight at my house >300. So they basically just get rep increases when possible at the current moment, which is generally aimed for every week following the completion of a new rep maximum. Should I get my squat to the point where I am repping 300 for my worksets, this is what they will follow.

Cliffs:
-> Follow my own progression block
-> Advanced past the weight I've available causes me to follow a different rep sys than what I'd ideally follow.

[lowroller21212]

Makes sense to use the variables given not having over 300 at home. Whatever works to get clean reps at a comfortable rate - at my home gym I definitely take my max resistance weight into account.

Excellent friday the 13th gym sesh brother. Have yourself a good weekend.

[Malversation]

Nice training today with the deads and rows!! More PR's!! Look's like the stack is helping yo make some gains!

Honestly, the pendlay row PR was a **** up on my part. I just naturally did an additional rep when I meant to do only one. A PR is a PR tho. I would say that the stack does help a bit tho. Not a gigantic amount, but enough to be noticeable.

That's the joys of working out from home.. Still worth it. And thanks, it was Friday the 13th so naturally I had to 'kill' it. Have yerself a great weekend as well.

Any plans on the table? Gonna be relaxing for the most part on my end, then wrap up about 50 min at the gym overnight, getting buzzed last weekend took a dent on my sleeping cycle to say the least lol- when you get to 29 you definitely feel it.

Not that much, I'll probably go play basketball with a few friends at our local park, but other than that and the gym I don't have anything lined up. Hopefully by the time I reach 29/30 they come up with a way to reverse the aging of cells in Humans so I don't have to worry about my sleep schedule!

Perhaps they're not that far away, earlier in May they figured out how to reverse the aging process in human cell lines.

Till this march I didn't have any real progression program, so I spent a week researching the various types and good examples of it and thus came up with that. Tis' pretty cool that you run a program football if you'd care to elucidate I'd be quite interested.
