First session back from vacation

8/6

My training partner wants to ease into a strength block and see how the previous 10 weeks of higher volumes will translate, I personally am not quite ready for a strength block of training but sometimes you gotta meet your partner half way

We will do a basic linnear block, where week over week weight on the bar goes up and total sets go down. We will also be doing a petty low volume routine compared to my normal protocol to experiment.

Primary movement
Week 1: 10x1
Week 2: 8x1
Week 3: 6x1
Week 4: 4x1
Week 5: 2x1
Week 6: deload
Week 7: 1x1

Secondary we will do squats as well but 2-3 sets of 5 or 6 reps with an emphasis on explosiveness

After that we will hit machine accessories hard until week 5, then we will start to taper those down to nothing.

So what did yesterday's workout look like?
405 10x1
315 2x6
Leg extensions to failure
leg curls to failure
good girls/bad girls to failure.

We will try to keep some pause squats in the mix to build out that strength base out the bottom of the squat, and introduce the rebound more and more as the weeks progress on.

Due to some nagging back injury I can only squat 1x a week--but if I were a healthy old man I'd be doing a second squat day.

My bench press day has a minor hickup--going through a breakup and my ex girlfriend who I normally bench with is headed to another state for residency program. I will need to find another gym or training partner for bench days. I can't self hand off with my shoulder and tricep issues. Haven't been able to do that for at least a decade lol

In the mean time I will likely focus on pin presses to keep building the bench

Current cycle from Steroidify
300 Test
200 Masteron
100 tren -- because I feel like it. Let me be destructive.
I will pulse some orals the last 3 weeks of this 7 week block.

Hopeful competition in November

Todays workout
Week 2 of strength oriented block

430 8x1 - at least half pause reps
365 2x6
Leg extensions - failure
Leg curls
Good girls / bad girls

My back is rough, it’s not getting worse but not getting better I will see this block through wherever it ends then if necessary take 3 weeks off from squats to allow the back to recover

On one of my high rep sets 5-6 weeks ago I severely tweaked something around my left flank in my back and it’s pretty bad… but it’s also muscular not spinal so like who cares

I’d never be able to compete with the pain and likely won’t be beating any previous peak performances. But, it will allow me to finish out my training cycle (16 weeks) and be back from that year and a half of self wallowing and getting fat.. we back, injured or not

Sometimes you just gotta train and see the process through—but you also need to not be dumb and then a soft injury into a permanent problem, I’d say the longer you’ve trained and the more accidents you’ve had the better you can gauge your risk levels.

Also, even when injured it’s way easier rebuilding old strength than building new strength. For example, back before my life fell apart I was squatting 565 smooth. So in my peak retardwtion it’s not unreasonable to squat 495-565 injured

With my back the biggest squat issues are the walk out and the rebound in the hole

And again, the back hasn’t gotten worse
It’s just not gotten better

Plus I need this right now, crawling out of my 2024 life depression I really don’t care if I’m risking a little extra injury. I need to see the process through

Next week 6x1
I will likely front load that session with some ibuprofen

We’re doing a very basic linear model this 6 week wave. Starting at 10x1 and ending at 2x1 then 1x1 on the final week

General layout for the next few weeks.

On one of my high rep sets 5-6 weeks ago I severely tweaked something around my left flank in my back and it’s pretty bad… but it’s also muscular not spinal so like who cares

I’d never be able to compete with the pain and likely won’t be beating any previous peak performances. But, it will allow me to finish out my training cycle (16 weeks) and be back from that year and a half of self wallowing and getting fat.. we back, injured or not

Sometimes you just gotta train and see the process through—but you also need to not be dumb and then a soft injury into a permanent problem, I’d say the longer you’ve trained and the more accidents you’ve had the better you can gauge your risk levels.

Also, even when injured it’s way easier rebuilding old strength than building new strength. For example, back before my life fell apart I was squatting 565 smooth. So in my peak retardwtion it’s not unreasonable to squat 495-565 injured

With my back the biggest squat issues are the walk out and the rebound in the hole

And again, the back hasn’t gotten worse
It’s just not gotten better

Plus I need this right now, crawling out of my 2024 life depression I really don’t care if I’m risking a little extra injury. I need to see the process through

Next week 6x1
I will likely front load that session with some ibuprofen

We’re doing a very basic linear model this 6 week wave. Starting at 10x1 and ending at 2x1 then 1x1 on the final week

General layout for the next few weeks.

huge lifts, you are the man big man for sure

you need this right now push no matter what
and if you take ibuprofen take a lot of probiotics that shit kills your gut biome which causes depression
