I am already getting really burnt out on the volume. I’m going to finish this, but I will likely do something pretty different for the commitment run. I’m thinking a CT program (I’ve archived quite a few); probably not one of the “best damn” or something that’s on the totally opposite end of the spectrum, but definitely something more intense/ compound lifts.
I’m also really starting to believe the “looking jacked” is more a function of fat loss than anything specifically “bodybuilding training”. Look at Ben Pollack recently - super strong powerlifter got ripped for a show and looks insane. I’m sure weak points and the like matter for competitive bodybuilders, but not for me. Looking jacked is arms and abs for me!
I want to:
- Look better (so probably fat loss)
- Feel athletic - I get excited when football season starts! So this is like cleans and stuff for me in the fall.
- Get to play with my gym’s toys (sleds, yoke, farmer’s walks, boxes, bars, etc.)
- Not lift more than 4-5 days a week or more than ~ an hour at a time
So I don’t know what I’ll do. Maybe I’ll revisit the 6 weeks to superhero and follow up with another CT program (or run the 6 weeks twice)? I think that’s in the spirit of the committed challenge. I’m open to whatever.
