Continuing my journey... Simply Jacked

Thanks @mortdk Hey thoughts on… The lifer program? I am considering saying screw 5 and dime because I am going to be so far out of lifting practice that I will need a couple weeks to get back to where I was and then start a new program.

I am honestly in no hurry to see gains and just want to look good and feel good. Lifer kind of fits that. I can take my time to get it done or push it by super setting accessories.

I could randomly throw in BBB into it in 6 week stints as I see fit.

I kinda want to start lifer and then cycle in 6 week cycles of other programs as my mood strikes me.

@mortdk Nah never mind scratch that idea. I like changing things up too much to stick to that yet. Maybe in a couple of years.

So… I haven’t been able to gym like I would like. My second job keeps calling me in and asking me to cover shifts. I may have to switch to a two day a week plan.

To start I am doing standard 531 weeks. 2 main lifts both done as 5’s pro with 5x5 FSL beginner prep school style. I am going to super set in my accessory lifts as much as possible.

Cardio will be 8-10 mins HIIT followed by 20-30 mins LISS.

Mobility will be 30 mins for yoga or general stretching.

I tested this out of the last week and feel I can consitently pull this off while working 65+ hours a week

So… Small change… Apparently I am doing 351 instead of 531 just because I forgot to move my percentages around. No problem tho. I prefer 351.

Cardio day. I am extremely sore so I just did 30 mins of walking. Max incline 3 speed with a weighted vest. Only had 10 lbs In it

I kept up on mobility and lifting. Cardio has been harder. I keep getting called in.

Welcome back Cherry.
Have your daily routine settled, so you can get some lifting back into it.

A little bit. It’s still a challenge but I should be able to get 2 to 3 lifting sessions in per week now.
