Anna's Training Log Part 2 (Part 1)

That’s increasing total stress from training, plus making the accessories less useful in terms of hypertrophy. You would be much better off just sticking to the program and not adding or changing anything.

What he said. Not changing includes the method and stimulus.

I have the luxury of doing double days so I think I’ll just do the accessories in a separate session

That’s a very good idea. And just take it easy on non-training days rather than doing conditioning. Replace conditioning with eating. Or meal prep for busy training days.

Week 2: Day1 (yesterday)

Squat: 1x10-45, 1x8-50, 1x6-60, 3x5-65, 1x3,2x4-70
Bench: 1x10-30, 1x8-35, 1x6-42.5, 4x3-50

Pm accessories
4x(4pullups+20pushups)
Technique: hs hold

  • squats felt strong, a bit tired going in but the bar moved smooth, bench felt amazing, really happy with triples, accessories a lot harder than expected- upper back pretty dead

What are you going to do with your day off today?

Week 2: day 2

For time: (10-1 kB ovh press+rows-22.5lbs/ arm w/40linges btw rounds-22.5lbs)- 13:43
Farmers walks: 4xup and down stairs, 40lb kbs, every 2mim
Technique: hs hold

  • press/row workout ( supposed to do ovh presses) really killed shoulders and triceps, got hr up pretty good but not too intense, Farmers walks easier than expected, really worked grip, got HR up

Just answered your question- shoulders and farmers walks

Haha
The whole point of the pm workout was to complete your accessory work on the same day and give yourself a day off to rest.

I underestimated the resolutioners and gym was packed- I would have had to wait at least 10min to get a weight

Then you should wait the 10 minutes or use DBs or a BB.
Adding more workouts is the last thing you need.

Well, conditioning is also pretty important to me so I guess I’ll just eat more? :person_shrugging:

That’s fair, everyone has their own goals.
But if you’re going to continue doing hard workouts every day of the week, definitely do not add PM workouts.

Recovery is important for both your strength and conditioning.

Canned salmon with mushrooms and rice is absolute heaven!!!

I use the term very very loosely :rofl::joy:

I really need to stop looking at this log because it hurts my brain. I was hoping you would come to your senses and stop this foolishness, but obviously it’s not happening. You already did the same program with extra conditioning and accessory circuits and got weaker, what makes you think it will work out better the second time around?

You are just wearing yourself out.

Week 2: day 3

Deadlift: 1x5-60,70,80, 3x5-90, 5x5-85
Bench press: 1x10-30,35, 4x5-45
Lunges:,5x5/leg-55

  • felt good going in, deadlifts a bit harder than expected but not too bad (Sheiko took it easy on me ) really worked legs and abs- need to focus on bracing, bench felt really smooth and strong, lunges a LOT easier than expected

This morning’s weight: 40.3

Week 2: Day4

3miles elliptical- 26min
Pendlay row: 5x5-40kg

  • elliptical felt really good, got HR up but not too intense, getting fitter! Pendlay rows were harder than expected, worked back
    @Pinkylifting I think the carbs are working. I did lunges and deadlifts yesterday and don’t feel destroyed

This log. Anna, I am sure it is buried in here somewhere, but just WTF are your goals? Seems like it is a combination of getting fitter, getting stronger, getting bigger, not getting fatter, eating more, doing more conditioning, doing less conditioning, and then taking the exact same selfie week after week. And eating all the spinach and mushrooms that ever existed.
