Losthog—2018 First year

Ýup it’s a beast of a program, looking forward to the testing.
EDIT saw your post in the Boatguya log.

Off course you should test, maybe not over two weeks as prescribed but in one week.
Just the test, work up to 1RM. No more, no assistance or backoff sets.
It should almost work as another deload week, then start the new program conservative.

Extra Tired this week, Extra Strong next week! It will be like super super-compensation.

Uggh. I was demonstrating walking dumbbell lunges today with the kids and caught a cramp in the right hammy. Wtf…

That the same one that’s been giving you trouble for a while now?

Yep.

You’ve been pushing hard for a while now Hog, might be a good chance to take a week off of everything to rebuild.

Glad to see you’re testing! Looks like good progress so far!

Hell, fire it up again! 9 more weeks of Dark Horse combined with my lack of bench press training and you’ll catch or pass me :smiley:

Too much going on at work to run this kind of demanding program. Football season has me hopping already and classes don’t start for another week

It dawned on me just a few minutes ago…40 lbs to go for 3 plates. Took me 9 weeks of near perfect conditions (summer break no distractions) to get 30 lbs. maybe by this time next year I’ll hit a triple plate

Very possible my dear hog, but you should only care about your overhead number at the moment haha.

Here is to hoping I can hit a 40lb pr on OHP. My pre-Darkhorse max was 165 x2

I would like to rep 225 for 10+ reps. I think that is my next goal before testing bench again…
