11th workout
seated db overhead press 12-10-10 - 6 + rest pause 3
meadows row 12-12-12-15 (last one is a back off set)
feet elevated depth push up 3 x 8-12 reps
12th workout
barbell french press 3x15
dumbbell curl 21s 3 sets
*at this stage, the pump in my upper arms was great.
dumbbell leg curl on the floor 2x20
*i didnt let the db touch the floor once. constant tension made the exercise much more effective.
goblet squat 1x20
*after progressively heavier 3 warm up sets of 10, i did just one working set. i generally start program B with legs but that day i wanted to try something different.
yesterday (14.08.2022) i hit a new low bodyweight.
i weighed 71.4 kg. this morning i was 71.7 kg
my target is 70 kg.
all i want is to upload a new Flex Friday post on my instagram.
I am sick of uploading throwbacks. Everybody’s motivation is different i guess ![]()
Also i will be 40 next summer.
I want to look good on my 40th birthday and my preparation starts today.
At first I saw that your training was different. Right now, you’ve obviously split into torso and limbs, doing 1 exercise for each muscle group.
yes sir.
i did doggcrapp in 2020 for a few months.
it was too hard for me but i really loved the split.
it was chest, delts, triceps back one day.
biceps, forearms, calves, hams, quads other day.
when i started my cut, i was planning to use this split again but nowadays, if i dont fill my triceps with blood before doing curls, my biceps tendon hurts.
now its torso and limbs just like you said.
i train 3 days a week so one week i train ABA, next week i train BAB. one exercise per body part per session.
volume is low but with higher frequency, it makes me feel great.
Sure, I’m also thinking of switching to this option soon, as I’m currently doing full body 3-4 times a week. Or A-Push and B-Pull, to which I will also add the Legs. With less exercise. When I train the Full Body I like it, but somehow I can’t concentrate well on the muscle group I do after the middle of the training, and also the volume of each exercise should be lower. I like bodybuilding splits the most, where in one day you train a large and a small muscle group /for example, chest with triceps; back with biceps; shoulder; legs/, but in this variant the weekly frequency is low. Otherwise, I really feel that I have worked the relevant muscles.
i really recommend you to try this.
a while ago, i saw a dorian yates clip where he talks about doing this split in the beginning of his career as well.
last year i did
bis and tris
chest and back
delts and legs
i cant say it was bad but i felt like it took forever to hit the same muscle again.
it might be an age thing but i really like higher frequency now.
by the way i did full body about 8 months in 2017.
even today, thinking about doing a leg exercise on every session gives me anxiety ![]()
its just not for me personally
Well I’m 49 years old and all of a sudden I started to feel like I don’t have the energy I had just 2-3 years ago. I don’t have the same energy to work out on consecutive days either. I can and often do, but the feel is different and the results suffer. Because of this I either have to train the Full Body at a lower volume 3 times a week or 2 times if it is at a higher volume. Or a muscle group once a week /at most every 5 days/, avoiding overlapping on close days. All in all, Dorian did 4 total Body programs for a few months at the start, then moved on to torso-limbs, then Chest and Arms/Legs/Back and Shoulders. His last program is Shoulders, Traps and Triceps /Back/ Chest and Biceps/ Legs. But I assume you are well acquainted with his training systems.
i lost the energy to train 2 days in a row about 5 years ago when i was 34. ![]()
i noticed that i cant recover properly, get bored and get injured easily.
about dorian yates, yes i watched blood and guts video maybe 200 times ![]()
i had a nagging left shoulder and right biceps injury for a year. they are almost fully healed right now.
when i feel %100, i will give doggcrapp one more run but for 2 months maximum.
those double rest pause sets and extreme streches are brutal (but very effective)
13th workout
seated one arm db overhead press 10-10-10-6-6
one arm deadstop db row 3x12
alternating incline db press 3x10 ( for each arm. 5 right 5 left 5 right 5 left. i learned this from hany rambod)
everything was unilateral today.
not a great workout but good one overall.
i could have definitely gone heavier on incline presses though.
i hit a front double biceps pose after my workout is over.
i can see the first row of my abs finally.
i think i have about 1,5-2 months to reach my desired look.
after that it will be body fat maintenance and body composition improvement all the way until my 40th birthday which is 29.07.2023 ![]()
Thanks man, hope you are fine as well.
And these before-after photos show the 36 day difference.
Biggest improvement is in my back i believe.
I started my cut at 73 kg.
