    I've always found that it takes me several sessions of heavy squats to go up in weight significantly after a layoff, while for deadlifts I can usually get back to a heavy weight after only a couple of sessions. If the other sets were light then you should be able to move up in weight quickly I think.

    Ya I'm basically doing this weird thing where I'll either hit a top set of 3 or 5 for my heavy squat day, and then do sets of 8-10 on the other day with lighter weight, and try to slowly add weight to everything every 3-4 weeks. Similar idea on bench, just slow sort of weird progression, seems to be working somewhat? Idk, it's at least fun and doable while cutting.


    7/24/18 - Upper Power

    Competition Bench
    Bar x 10
    135 x 8
    175 x 5
    205 x 5

    255 x 1
    255 x 5 - Paused PR! Happy with this for sure. Felt pretty heavy, 9.5 RPE.
    235 x 2 x 6 - Both sets were touch and go, with a full pause on the 6th rep

    Plate-loaded Shoulder Press

    Neutral-grip Lat Pulldowns
    160 x 2 x 10 - Never done that before, these are getting noticeably stronger which is awesome
    120 x 12

    T-Bar Rows
    2 plates x 2 x 12, slow with pauses at top for most reps

    Triceps and Biceps
    4 sets of each, 10-15 reps for various movements

    Strong day! Off tomorrow, then high rep squats Thursday.

    I alternate heavy/light days at times. It's a logical scheme (especially if it works, haha). Nice benching. I haven't benched with a barbell in many years and I'm curious what I could do if I dedicated 4 weeks to it.

    This is probably the longest I've ever consistently benched, starting like a year ago? Twice a week for the most part - 3-4x during Sheiko a few months back, feelsgoodman

    225.8 this morning, weight is back on track - Onward and downwards! Logging last night's leg hypertrophy session:


    7/26/18 - Legs

    High Bar Squat
    135 x 5
    165 x 3
    215 x 3
    215 x 12
    215 x 15 - Solid, pretty smoked after the relative AMRAP. Form was a bit off for this set, got a bit too hyped lol.

    Hack Squat
    1 plate x 10
    2 plates x 10
    1 plate x 12 with super close stance, heels touching, constant tension in quads

    Quad Extensions
    2 sets of 12-15 and 1 drop set of 20

    SS w/

    Seated Hamstring Curls
    3 sets of 12

    Feels like I did more exercises but I think that was actually it.

    Changed things up a bit with tonight's push hyper session:


    7/27/18 - Push

    Bench, feet up and slightly narrower grip than normal, touch and go
    Bar x 2 x 15
    95 x 8
    135 x 6
    185 x 5
    205 x 6, 8, 8, 8, 7, 8, 8 (53 total reps @ 205)

    Single-arm DB Shoulder Press
    40 x 12 seated
    50 x 12 standing
    40 x 12 seated

    Incline Hammer-strength Machine, 1 arm at a time
    1 plate x 2 x 10

    SS w/

    Flies
    25 x 2 x 15 (one set on cables, one set on incline bench w/ 25lb kettlebells)

    Decline Bench
    155 x 20 (Friend was doing it and I decided to try it for a set, lol)

    Single-arm Shoulder Press with Cables, trying to mimic a behind-the-neck movement
    50 x 2 x 12


    Great session, really enjoyed it. For bench, I wanted to try and do 50 reps at 205 - I did 225 for a 3 x 10 a month or so ago and that was a lot of volume for me, I figure a fun way to add volume is just to pick a weight and a number of target reps that would be a relative overload and get there in however many sets it takes.

    Golfing in the morning so I decided to skip triceps tonight and do them tomorrow along with back, bis, rear delts, and traps. Might even do some deadlifts or block/rack pulls if I'm feeling up to it but idk, we'll see.

    Hit a few quick workouts on Saturday and Sunday, just some light back arms and shoulders work. Also traded in my Evoque and my old 350z for a 2015 LR4 on Saturday, pretty pumped.

    Average weight for the past week: 226.1 (down 1.4 lb from previous week)

    Hitting legs tonight after I pick up the LR4!

    Logging last night's squat session, pretty short one as I didn't get to the gym until close to 8

    7/30/18 - Legs

    High Bar Squat
    Warmups
    135 x 3
    175 x 3
    205 x 1
    225 x 1
    - belt on -
    245 x 1
    265 x 1
    265 x 8 - Best/heaviest set of 8 I've done in quite a while, not a PR as I have done 10 or 11 in the past but still solid. Also that 10 or 11 was an all-out AMRAP
    245 x 2 x 8 - Strong backoff sets too, some sessions last month I had nothing in the tank for backoff work so that's good

    Single-leg Leg Press
    1 plate per side x 2 x 10

    Seated Hamstring Curl
    165 x 2 x 10

    Short and sweet, felt good though. Bench and upper body after work today, 225.0 this morning and feeling good

    Finally done travelling and/or going to weddings for a while! Hallelujah

    Montreal was ****ing sick though - I did find a great gym too, run by this older bodybuilder guy who took a lot of pride in his place. It was called Gym Saint Sauveur, highly recommend it if you're ever in the area. Also managed to get 3 real sessions in, and ate relatively well the entire time, which was great. Still classic bloat from the wedding on Saturday, woke up at 229.8 yesterday and back to 225.0 today. Time to press on to 215 and then to 205 now that these god damned trips are done!

    Highlights from recent lifts:
    225 x 10, 235 x 10 touch and go bench in Albany on Saturday 8/18
    Hitting 3 x 12 dips with relative ease on my last upper day, feltgoodman

    Logging last nights lift now that I am back home for the foreseeable future:


    8/20/18 - Legs

    High Bar Squat
    Warmups
    45 x 5
    95 x 5
    135 x 3
    175 x 3
    205 x 2
    - belt on -
    235 x 1
    255 x 1
    275 x 10 - Matches PR I haven't hit in 4.5 years! Ass to grass high bar this time, lol. Very happy with this
    205 x 10 backoff set

    Hack Squats
    1 plate x 12
    2 plates x 10
    1 plate x 2 x 10

    Hamstring-focused Back Extensions (not sure what actual thing is called, basically a GHR style back extension)
    Bw x 12
    Bw x 10 - These are ****ing killer, adding these in for the next few months

    That was it, aside from maybe 10 total reps of bodyweight lunges. Hit the sauna for a while after this and then went home lol. ****ing gassed from that 275 x 10 top set, very happy though.

    Upper tonight should be fun

    Solid upper workout Tuesday I forgot to log, then got food poisoning yesterday, was bloated for a few days even though I wasn't eating much. Stayed home from work yesterday with typical food poisoning issues lol... ended up hitting legs at like 6pm but I couldn't squat so I deadlifted and did 3 sets of accessory movements. Hardly ate also, no appetite until later in the day.

    At any rate, new weigh in low this morning: 221.8

    Feeling much better today, think I got everything out of my system lol. Excited for a chest/back session tonight! Will log this one

    Well, I lied, but highlights from the last few lifts lol:

    Bench on Friday: 275 x 1 paused felt pretty slow/heavy, so i decided to do an amrap touch and go set at 225 and hit
    225 x 12 - PR!
    Followed up with 205 x 2 x 8 feet up, and some plate-loaded pressing (I believe it was 2 plates for 2 x 12)
    Also did shoulders, more chest, and triceps

    Saturday - Back, biceps, some rear delts. No real highlights to speak of.

    222.2 weigh-in this morning, pretty strong calories this weekend but no boozing or anything. Excited to continue trending downward over the next few weeks.

    High Bar Squat
    Warmups
    235 x 10
    215 x 10 (no belt)
    215 x 18 - Pretty gassed after this lmao, wanted 20 but the 18th rep my form was questionable for sure so I called it

    BW x 12
    BW x 10
    BW x 8

    Leg Press, varied "stances"

    Solid session, happy with the volume and how everything felt. This was week 1 of a new hypertrophy block in my mind, last time I started at 205 for 3 x 10 on squats and built up from there.

    Starting to follow the Renaissance Periodization general bodybuilding template to structure my workouts, with a few alterations - Namely spreading out some of the upper body work to accomodate a 5x/week schedule rather than 4x/week, and adding a few sets here and there for direct arm work.

    First workout with the RP template last night, felt good! I'm selecting high bar squats, incline bench, and neutral grip pulldowns for my main lifts.


    8/28/18 - Upper - Week 1 of Basic Hypertrophy Block

    Incline Bench
    45 x 12
    95 x 8
    135 x 8
    155 x 3 x 12 (Target RPE 7.5, most exercises are using about 85% of my 10rm this week)

    Dips
    BW x 12
    15lb DB x 12
    15lb DB x 10

    DB Flat Bench
    85 x 11
    85 x 10
    85 x 9 - First exercise that I felt some fatigue hitting, RPE 8.5

    Plate-loaded Row
    80lb per side x 12
    80lb per side x 10 (Somewhat fatigued)

    Lat Pulldown
    140 x 10
    140 x 8 (Fairly fatigued at this point)

    Biceps
    4-5 sets of 8-10 between BB and seated DB curls

    DB Upright Rows
    35 x 12
    35 x 10

    Tricep Rope Pushdowns
    2 sets of 15 light weight

    Good workout, sticking around 2000 calories and 200 protein, weight for this week is trending just over 222.

    Weight sitting just over 221, should break under 220 soon!

    And we're back, apparently

    Cliff notes: Squatted 405 2 weeks ago!! Pumped brahs. New goal is to hit 500. Didn't honestly think I would ever hit 405 again but it wasn't all that hard after all, so let's push it.

    Current bw: 238ish

    Goals: Continue to push PL total (current maxes from tests in October are 405 sq, 285 comp bench, 500 deadlift but I can push deadlift higher if I train it) and to get down to ~12-14% Bf (probably ~215 lb).

    Current split is 3x/week squatting on Kaizen's protocol, doing my own upper body programming:

    Monday: Squat 1
    Tuesday: Upper
    Wednesday: Off
    Thursday: Squat 2
    Friday: Push
    Saturday: Squat 3 and Pull
    Sunday: Off

    Kicking off a brand new training block so let's log it.
