Also, for those pics you posted it looks like you may be really close to 10% it just looks like you carry fat right around the ab area cuz everywhere is pretty darn ripped lol. How much abdominal work do you do?

Also your workouts have always motivated me buddy, just thought I'd let ya know (no homo)

its all good bally, and thanks. definitely a change from max-ot but i actually like it more and think its more beneficial than max-ot. max-ot worked GREAT for strength but hypertrophy was only noticable in a few areas (mainly lats and shoulders)...so i feel this routine will bring everything up to par.

i actually carry a lot of fat in lower back and legs so i think thats where the extra bf% is coming from at this stage...but i do a lot of ab work about 3x a week now, but i have always neglected lower abs in the past so doing a lot more of exercises that isolate those lately and it seems to be working well making them more prominent.

Do you have new goals?

all good brah i have been pretty busy lately so havent been able to check out too many logs...it has both high volume and strength days. new goals in the OP just trying to hit 9-10% or so then gonna clean bulk from there

all good basik my bad for not making you aware of new log.

i would throw deads in either first or second since you can move more weight and wont be tired

constant tension on the chest I'm guessing?

basically yes, locking out is more for strength so i do it on the power day, and it also hits the triceps so on the chest hypertrophy days i usually dont lockout so i can hit chest more. its just another one of those little tips im trying to see if my damn chest grows haha

great job on the cutting so far brah.

RJ Perkins Power/Hyper Split
Week 2, Day 1: Upper Power
6/30/10
Hours of Sleep: 10
Calories Consumed: (update) Protein: g Carbs: g Fats: g
Weight After Workout: 165 lbs -.5 lbs since last week.
Cardio: ~2 Miles: 18 Minutes +1/2 Mile Dog Walk/Jog

LT= Last Time

Flat Bench Press: 5x5
150 lbs (5 reps) +35 lbs since LT.
155 lbs (5 reps) +20 lbs since LT.
160 lbs (5 reps) +5 lbs since LT.
165 lbs (5 reps) +5 lbs & 1.5 reps since LT.
170 lbs (5 reps) +15 lbs since LT.
Wow pretty much perfect Rippetoes form, can't believe how easy everything felt., feels really good to bench like that. Starting with 160 lbs next week.

Deadlifts: 5x5
285 lbs (5 reps) +60 lbs since LT.
295 lbs (5 reps) +50 lbs since LT.
305 lbs (5 reps) +40 lbs since LT.
310 lbs (5 reps) +25 lbs since LT.
315 lbs (5 reps) +10 lbs since LT.
Felt nice on this and was pulling pretty easy with great form so went for the "3 plates" technically it was 2 plates/side and a bunch of 10s/5s lol, feelsgoodman. Starting with 305 lbs next week.

Pain in the ass to set this up so went back to the Seated MP Machine.
Seated Military Press Machine: 5x5
140 lbs (5 reps)
150 lbs (5 reps)
155 lbs (5 reps)
160 lbs (5 reps)
170 lbs (4.5 reps) Couldn't lock out last rep.
This feels a lot better than the other set-up and a lot more natural, machine is also on a fixed path and can push relatively the same weight. Starting with 155 lbs next week.

Took out Shrugs as accessory and exchanged for weighted dips. Traps aren't lagging and chest is so seems like a wise decision.
Weighted Dips (With Lockout): 5x5
BW +45 lbs (5 reps)
BW +50 lbs (5 reps)
BW +55 lbs (5 reps)
BW +60 lbs (5 reps)
BW +65 lbs (5 reps)
Haven't gone heavy on these in a while but definitely miss this exercise going heavy, feels good. Starting with BW +55 lbs next week.

Song:

Video/Documentary (Until Episodes Run Out):

Wow amazing workout. Broke some solid overall PRs and finally felt comfortable to pull 3 plates. Power/Hyper is definitely going to be my go-to routine and don't plan on changing it anytime soon. It will definitely change over time exercise-wise depending on which areas need more work but I'm honestly loving it and seeing great gains while STILL on a caloric deficit. Everything is going as planned.

Jay is sick, Dan came over and brought his buddy who wants to get into it. He did really well today, his name is Mike. He surprised me on how quick he picked up on proper bench form and was pushing decent starting weight easily (115 lbs). Took him a while to get the deadlift form and elongated my own workout but definitely important to get form down before poundage is added. Still needs a bit of work but he's getting it. Dan is going to bring him from now on and eventually when I go to school they will lift together. I feel like I'm in "Pay It Forward" or some **** haha, hopefully I don't get stabbed .

sorry haven't been getting to most people's logs. Personal life is real busy atm which is a good thing but trying to get to people's logs every now and then. Gonna be working two jobs now and probably 20-25 hours at one job (DQ) and 5-10 at the other (bussing) so gonna be getting some nice $$ to help with college and whatnot. Going to send back my iScale because its a POS and doesn't work (srs). Kev, its all yours haha. Chub can you send the link for that scale you told me to get a while back? Gonna get that one. Gonna walk the dog, swim, shower and work. Have a good day everyone

**xHoward** · 06-30-2010, 02:39 PM

Benching is really coming up Kyle. Glad this routine is working well for you.

**bally18** · 06-30-2010, 07:02 PM

holy eff strong deadlifting, considering how close the weights are together when your ramping!

its all good bally, and thanks. definitely a change from max-ot but i actually like it more and think its more beneficial than max-ot. max-ot worked GREAT for strength but hypertrophy was only noticable in a few areas (mainly lats and shoulders)...so i feel this routine will bring everything up to par.

yeah it seems like a great workout, I know what you mean about max-ot. I noticed my lats blew up alot as well!

I also carry alot of fat in the lower back, as well as legs. The legs don't really bother me except with jeans and **** haha but the lower back blows cuz I feel like I got madd lovehandles. feelsbadman.jpeg

keep up the good work!

**George Costanza** · 06-30-2010, 07:45 PM

Very solid day. You like the weight ramping?

**favori12** · 06-30-2010, 07:52 PM

Some very nice PRs Kyle! I'm especially mirin your dips.

Don't worry about posting in my journal unless you need help... I don't want anyone to feel obligated to post in it at all. Sorry about the scale, but at least if you're ordering from bb.com again, your next scale will ship quickly.

thanks, i was actually meaning to ask you if i was doing power hyper right with the ramping. originally i was just trying to figure out what my 5RMs were after going light but i still add weight every set, am i supposed to go up 5 lbs/set with the last being a PR from last time or does every set go up? was a bit confused on that so just been going up more and more so i get as many working sets as possible with a "new" 5RM

thanks dave, i <3 your journal anyway haha just didnt know if you saw the comment or not. do you know how i would go about sending it back? just email bb.com or the company who made the scale or what? a bit confused.

**basik156** · 06-30-2010, 08:19 PM

solid prs man i hope this routine works for you

Hehe well just lurk if you want since you're going to be pretty busy.

I would try emailing bb.com and ask them what to do... I wouldn't really know who to contact either though.

**Whey_Boss** · 06-30-2010, 08:32 PM

If you bought it through bb.com, contact them. The company wont have a clue what you're talking about since they'd have no record of you buying it from them if they sold it to bb.com

Better off just going to Amazon.com or something and just check out a cheap scale that has a lot of good reviews

**xKyle10** · 06-30-2010, 08:44 PM

**xKyle10** · 07-01-2010, 10:17 AM

RJ Perkins Power/Hyper Split
Week 2, Day 2: Lower Power
7/1/10
Hours of Sleep: 9
Calories Consumed: (update) Protein: g Carbs: g Fats: g
Weight After Workout: 165.5 lbs -2 lbs since LT

LT= Last Time

Squats: 5x5
185 lbs (5 reps) +50 lbs since LT.
195 lbs (5 reps) +40 lbs since LT.
200 lbs (4 reps) +15 lbs & -1 rep since LT.
185 lbs (5 reps) -10 lbs since LT.
165 lbs (5 reps) -40 lbs since LT.
Started off way too heavy, gonna start up with 135 lbs again next week and ramp up to 215...was too eager to add weight today and CNS/back was fried from heavy deads yesterday

Stiff-Leg Deadlifts: 5x5
185 lbs (5 reps) +50 lbs since LT.
205 lbs (5 reps) +50 lbs since LT.
215 lbs (5 reps) +30 lbs since LT.
225 lbs (5 reps) +20 lbs since LT.
235 lbs (5 reps) +10 lbs since LT.
Felt fine starting relatively heavy but gonna start @ 195 lbs next week and ramp up until 240 lbs is the final set.

Calf Press Machine: 5x6-10
310 lbs (10 reps) +40 lbs since LT.
330 lbs (10 reps) +40 lbs since LT.
350 lbs (10 reps) +40 lbs since LT.
370 lbs (10 reps) +40 lbs since LT.
390 lbs (10 reps) +40 lbs since LT.
Maxed out the machine so just going to keep ramping weight for a few weeks until sets are all @ 390 lbs.

Abs/Core Work:
Weighted "Suspended" Decline Situps: 3xFailure
BW +5 lbs (8 reps) Held weight behind neck for these.
BW +10 lbs (10 reps) Held weight on chest for these.
BW +15 lbs (10 reps) Held weight on chest for these aswell.
Basically go on a decline bench, put legs in, lean back and make sure ass doesnt touch the pad/bench. Feels really good but when weight is on chest tend to burn out in quads more (kind of like a lactic acid feeling from leg extensions)...so going to stick with behind the neck on these next time.

Song:

Video/Documentary (Until Episodes Run Out):

Decent leg workout. Did a lot of stretches for those squats but was way too anxious to go heavy so definitely learned a lesson. Going to start lower and ramp up with only the final set being a new "5RM". SLDL felt nice, calves got an insane pump.
New ab exercise is awesome, highly reccomend.
Lifted with Dan and his buddy Mike, but they got there before me so I just had them do hack squats instead of free weight, gonna slowly introduce them to free-weight squats in a month or so slowly but surely...probably gonna have them do smith squats next.
My dad is in the hospital for hopefully his final back surgery....gonna be extra busy until school doing all the yard work and **** around the house now fuuuuuuuu.
Next week not sure what I should do...gonna be gone Friday - Sunday because I'm going up to a beach near Cape Cod for the weekend with my gf and her family. I might throw some bodyparts together and do a bit less volume.
Off day tomorrow.

Good call on ramping back up

**chubbarock** · 07-01-2010, 11:19 AM

**nmsk80066** · 07-01-2010, 11:42 AM

nice SLDL man, you keep a slight bend in your knee?

strong maxing out the machine for calfs!

keep kicking ass, have fun with the girl next weekend and good luck to your dad

**GSparky** · 07-01-2010, 12:35 PM

Strong benching man, and squats are solid. Definately take it slower on the squats though, it drains you going up to quick.

**xKyle10** · 07-01-2010, 01:30 PM

thanks man definitely agreed need to take it slower on the squats for sure

almost got into an accident on this windy ass rode on my way home...some dip**** in a truck was going about 50 on a 25 mph road which is windy as **** and he was hogging up half the road (road is extremely bumpy/has a lot of holes and narrow as fck) and had to pull to the side to avoid being hit...have a nice dent in the passenger/rear doors and rim is cracked a bit....fuuuuuuuuuu

**jacko16** · 07-01-2010, 04:30 PM

**Big B Bro** · 07-01-2010, 07:12 PM

thanks man, that 170 felt easy....i think it was the first time i ever benched with perfect form...i used to not be a fan of the rippetoe form but gave it a shot and it felt so nice

i was furious but he booked off i pulled up a bit on the road in a driveway to see the damage only some dents and a semi-cracked rim which could have been a lot worse....fuuuu backroads + ******* drivers = disaster

so anyways i had my window open the night before yesterday and i woke up with a semi-cold yesterday but wasnt bad enough to derail my workout...and it progressively worsened throughout the day yesterday even with Zicam + other cold meds....woke up today and felt like ass only got 5 hours of sleep...thankfully it was a rest day. also have work later and really cant call out so that will suck....brb making people sick...maybe ill get told to go home lulz. its not too bad right now because im on like 3 different meds so hopefully its gone by tomorrow. lifting tomorrow no matter what though hopefully im good or the weights will suffer fuuuuuuuu
