I feel like a bit of an idiot asking this, but isn’t Listerine a type of mouthwash? I’m assuming that’s not what you’re using?

DB bench, BB Mil. Press, CGBP, and Tri-Pushdown were all RP sets, I just didn’t label them as RP. The Bent Over Rows were SS. Guess I could label them so I don’t look too retarded. Ha!
Ahh ok. For the BB militaries, bump them up. Easier progression and probably safer for the shoulders (won’t be trying to get 1 or 2 reps on the last set).
Back thickness usually gets two sets; one about 5-8 or 4-6, 6-9, whatever, the other about 9-12.
Oh and about your new hunger in the gym despite going solo - DC tends to do that to you =)
Nothing like having that log book to account for, and the consequences of not beating it.[/quote]
Backthickness gets 2 sets for rack pulls or deadlifts, but on rows you can just do one 10-12… Or shit, Dusty does 1x15 and then either adds weight (if he got 15) for another heavier set, or keeps the weight (if he didn’t get 15) and does another set with it.
And yeah, you can also do the 2 set thing, but 1x10-12 was standard recommendation for most heavy rows…
The problem I’m seeing is that he is doing 2 tricep exercises but no back-width at all?

You didn’t maybe do standing calf raises in a machine or some such?

No problem. I usually can’t go up 10lb on pressing movements. It’s prety much 5lb each time for me.
Only exceptions are leg and back exercises, for me at least. [/quote]
Funny, I usually did +10 lbs or (more often than not) + 20 lbs on pressing movements and still usually at least kept my reps the same.
Ok, not generally on shoulder work (in most cases), but on chest and tri stuff definitely.
Then again, rows (except for krocs) gave me more trouble.
Btw patrickk, have we seen your whole rotation yet in the DC thread or in here? I think some of the exercise choices/placement and rep ranges could possibly be improved a bit. (or have we been through this before? I don’t remember)

Shit! You’re absolutely right. After reading that I just noticed my A2 is the only one missing a back-width exercise. I’ll be damned. I think I’ll put rack-chins in there for the next rotation. Thanks C_C!
I have not posted my complete routine yet. Here goes. I used the article here on tnation to help put it together.
A1:
BB Incline Press 11-15RP
DB Seated Press 15-30RP
Dip 15-20RP
Wide-grip Lat Pulldown 15-20RP
Deadlift 5-8SS @ Two sets
B1:
BB Curl(straight bar) 20-30RP
Hammer Curl 11-20SS
Standing Calf 10-12SS
GHR’s 15-20RP
Leg Press 4-8SS @ Two sets w/ a WM
(I started with front squats but switched it to Leg Press after two cycles through.)
A2:
DB Flat Bench 20-30RP
BB Standing Mil. Press 11-15RP
CGBP 15-20RP
Rack Chins 15-20RP <<<used to be another tri exercise until CC pointed out my overlook.
BB Bent over Row 10-12SS
B2:
Preacher Curl w/ EZ curl bar 20-30RP
BB Reverse Curl w/ straight bar 11-20SS
Calves on the Leg Press machine 10-12SS
Leg Curls 15-20RP
Back Squat 4-8SS @ Two sets w/ a WM
A3:
HS Flat Bench 11-15RP
Smith Machine Mil. Press 11-15RP
Skull Crushers w/ EZ curl bar 15-30RP
Close Grip Chin-up 15-20RP
T-Bar row w/o chest support 10-12SS
B3:
DB Curl(seated) 20-30RP
Pinwheel Curl 11-20SS
Seated Calves 10-12SS
Machine Hack Squat 6-10SS @ Two sets w/ a WM
SLDL 10-15SS
That’s the workout I’ve been following. Currently on my 3rd cycle through. The only issue’s I’ve had as far as the workout selection has been that SLDL’s are fucking brutal to do after a WM on the Hack Squat. But I’ve manned up and think I’ve done a pretty decent weight considering I could barely stand. 295x11 Last time I did them.
I’ve had to curve my ego on Squats as well. I’m a fairly Hammy/Glute dominant squatter. So burning out my hammies before squats has killed my numbers. If you see anywhere I could improve the workouts please let me know. I don’t take offense to criticism. I appreciate all the help so far. Cheers!

Was talking about this one.[/quote]
Yeah that’s the one I was using.
Anyone ever consider a slow cut, like cutting for a year?
I had this idea that if I gradually decreased cals, upped my protein, and added some cardio, I could probably gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. If I could weigh 260 by next summer and be 10% bf or below than I’d be pretty beastly. I was thinking of cutting slow so I won’t lose muscle or strength and will actually still be able to gain muscle and strength.
Opinions, suggestions?
Maybe just add in some morning fasted cardio for now Austin ?
