LOG # 465-468
Just pulled together a simple PPL routine. First week done. HOWEVER. Everything is 10x10. Essentially, I’ll take a main movement, either Squat, Bench/variation, and a pulling variation (currently just regular ol’ deads), and just plow through the volume.
So say I’ll do squat for the L portion of PPL, then I’ll do some type of push movement, and a pull movement. Same for Bench, and Deadlift. If squat isn’t the main movement, I’ll do some type of variation like leg press, hacks, or what have you. If my shoulders or hips aren’t up to a main movement I just substitute.
I pick three movements, and then do abs last, for a total of 4 movements. Totaling for like 400 reps of just pushing, pulling, and legs. Doesn’t make sense to me to have anymore movements than that. I guess I’m kind of crazy, but I’m one of those people that like squats. A shit ton of them. I don’t want to shred up my hips using anything more than 225, so I’ve settled for 200lbs Bench is kept at 100lbs, and Deads are kept at 185lbs.
I don’t want to put the cart before the horse and try to add weight each session, so I’ll add weight maybe every 3-4 weeks. 10-15lbs give or take. My goals is to progress in such a way where shit just feels lighter and lighter despite the sheer amount
of volume.
I’m sore for usually the entire week, but I just don’t really care about it. So long as I sleep for a bit I feel fine. Week two is underway. Gonna do this for the entirely of the T-transformation challenge just to see what I look like after doing this for 6 months.
