So… Gov. Polis put into effect… Mandatory mask in indoor public spaces… So masks at gyms … Gross

Squat
Worked up to 125x5
Then 3x5 100 ( could have done 5x5 but masks…)

Bench
Worked up to 85x5
Then 65 3x10 (was supposed to do 5x5 but…masks)

Seated cable row instead of DB row super set set cuz… Masks.

3x10 85

No circuit cuz… Masks.

Have I mentioned that masks while lifting suck?

Because working out with a mask on sucks… I am dropping my lifting days down to 3 times a week.

I am going to run… 531 squat pull push FB 3. These full body programs are not surprisingly… Very similar to building the monolith. Just a tad less on the high intensity volume.

9/18 well I haven’t been on in a while. Took a break from logging. Finished my 531 cycle and dropped back down to 155 as was my goal.

About 1 week ago I started a new program and new goal to hit 150.

Program is as follows. Stolen from sumodad lifts on reddit. “Simple jacked”

T1 lift Squat every day. Work up to a TM and hit it for 3-6 reps. After 6 days hitting 6 reps increase TM by 2.5%

T2 smolnov style lift rotate between ohp, deadlift and squats. Perform 40 reps in as few sets as possible. PPL style.

Day 1 70%
Day 2 75%
Day 3 80%
Day 4 85%

After 4 sessions for that lift increase TM by 2.5% and repeat.this makes a 2 week cycle for me that’s looks like this

Day 1 squat 3-6 reps, press 40 reps @70%
Day 2 squat 3-6, deadlift 40 reps @70%
Day 3 squat 3-6, squat 40 reps @ 70
Day 4 same as day 1 but 75%
Day 5 same as day 2 but 75%
Day 6 same as day 3 but 75%
Day 7 rest
Day 8 same as day 1 but squat tm increases 2.5% and press at 80%
Day 9 squat at day 8 weight 3-5 and deadlift 80%

Etc.

I am doing t3 back work daily and on squat day t3 leg curls, press day t3 bicep curls and deadlift day t3 ab work.

That’s it nice and simple.

Welcome back! That routine looks effective or brutal, depending on how your body responds. Good luck, and don’t be afraid to change if necessary.

Thanks! So far it’s been good. Not too brutal at all. Tho I did start with conservative training maxes.

Am doing 85% to start for my T1. And my T2 is based off an 85% TM so 70% of 85%. Low and slow.

I am loving the simplicity.
