My “goal” was really just some metric I could use for if the program worked or not. It did. I’m going to keep doing it until it doesn’t. At least, a variation of it.
I really want to gain some strength while I lose fat. It’s possible, I know it is. I may try a more extreme calorie cycling approach. Right now I consume ~360 calories more on training days due to Surge. I may double this, and subtract 360 calories from my next day.
I’m considering just reseting the whole program, which will be my deload, and redoing it with slightly different parameters - even less volume, with higher intensity. 5 sets of 3, or some shit.
The Surge basically just replaces the caalories you burn during the workout. Why don’t you up your carbs in the meal just before and just after the workout in addition to the Surge? It should give you more energy, help you build some muscle and boost your metabolism.
For the reps you might want to cycle the reps like 5x3 on Monday, 4x6 on Weds and 3x10 on Friday or some shit.
Yeah, I skipped a workout this week. This is officially a “deload” week. I’ll be starting a new program next week. I’ll figure out exactly what I’m doing this weekend.
I wanted to really test my strength today, so … I did. Volume was drastically lowered, and I took my time.
