Starting a log to keep track from week to week.

[DanielHutch]

So I'm doing Canditos Strength/Hypertrophy template (yes I know the control template is good but I've ran it and overcome my weakness from tightness at bottom) while I cut weight and gain some strength hopefully as well.

Today was Upper Strength Day since yesterday the gym was shut

Bench Press: 80kg 3x6 - Some reps were paused, others were touch n go but overall was just right for a starting point being heavy.
Rows: 80kg 3x6 - Did pendlay variation and it felt pretty easy going through each set.
OHP: 45kg 1x6 - Felt super easy but I've gained weight so its to be expected and I'm still weak.
Pull ups: 1x6 - Did 4 straight strict reps, did a 5th shortly after, couldn't do 6th.
Side Laterals - 3x8-12
Close Grip Pulldown - 3x8-12

[DanielHutch]

First lower hypertrophy session today. Was unsure on numbers to hit but it turned out good.

Squat 5x8 105kg - Only had 1:30-2 minutes rest inbetween.

Rack Pulls 3x8 140kg - No belt, normal grip, straps and felt a lot of tension on my lower back.

It was only just lower than knees which is whereabouts my weakness is as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_HWlO_KkA4 Its that ****ing transition but mostly muscular weakness I think as my legs lockout fast af and I'm quad dominant. So this may help my muscles develop a bit better in these areas.

Hamstring Curl 3x8-12 - Just started fairly light and worked up to 60kg going all out for 12 reps, still had more in me.

Calf Raises 5x8-12 - Meh

Optional 1 and 2- 4x8. Just messed around with more quad and glute pump since hamstrings killed at this point which is probably a good sign

[DanielHutch]

Well the next day after those Rack Pulls I just told a massive lie cos my upper back KILLS

[DanielHutch]

Todays workout - Hypertrophy Upper

Bench Press 4x8 70kg - Tried out wide grip, felt strain on my wrists but overall it just flew up where I would have struggled with a narrower grip.
Incline Chest Press 4x8 - Worked up to 20kg, felt light still
Rows 4x8 70kg
Lat Pulldowns 4x8 (suck at pull ups)
Overhead Press 3x8 35kg - I was wary of fatigue since I've never done so much before doing this but was still easy.
Biceps 3x10
Optional - Did some one handed circus presses for shoulder pump
Optional 2- More back stuff

[DanielHutch]

Dissapointed because gym closed 15 minutes after I arrived so I could only get 1 working set in for each exercise on my heavy day.

Squat: 1x6 160kg
Deadlift 1x2: 160kg (Beltless and with lower back soreness cos literally no rest inbetween warm ups)

[DanielHutch]

Todays Heavy Upper went superrr well.

Bench Press 3x6 - 82.5kg - Felt Easy
Rows 3x6 - 90kg - Decided to bump up the weight on pendlays and add straps to find its still pretty easy so I'm just gonna focus on overloading my back on this one
Overhead Press 1x6 - 50kg - Struggled on last rep but overall quite good amount of effort
Pull ups x6
Triceps
Back Machine

Overall this workout was dope as hell and I'm working on getting my grip wider each session as its feeling easier

[DanielHutch]

Yesterday's lower hypertrophy workout was meh, made some progress but couldn't keep it up when I got onto Rack Pulls as I was ill from puking on the early morning.

Squat 5x8 107.5kg
Rack Pulls 145kg 1x8, x2

Too fried to do anything else but I'm damn happy I went.

[DanielHutch]

Todays upper hypertrophy was awesome.

Incline Dumbell Press - 22kg 4x8 Just right was near failure each set except the last one which was easier lol.
Rows - 75kg 4x8 Just easy tbh.
OHP - 40kg 2x10, 1x6 Fatigued af from low rest but pretty happy overall, will try again.
Pull ups - 1x8
