Today is week 2 Day 3 (off day). Here’s an update.
Monday: (week two day one, biceps and chest conjugate)
This has to be one of the most demanding chest workouts I’ve ever done. I was able to increase my used weight on incline bench press right off the bat. The superset of non-lockout DB presses and incline cable flies is very intense. If your one who loves the pump you will definitely feel it during this superset. My 100 bench press reps went pretty well. Like someone else said, I do mine in quick bursts. Actually I start somewhat heavy and try to pump out 15-20, then rest and strip off the weight in other sets.
I think the other day (don’t have my log with me)I did 20 reps, strip weight, 13 reps strip weight, 10 reps strip weight, pretty much etc. the whole way through. I reach points where I “cannot” lift anymore and it isn’t because the weight feels heavy it’s like my triceps stop firing or something, I think this is due to the incredible lactic acid build-up. My partner and I used 60 pounds for the last twenty reps and could only do them in bursts of 5. Which made me feel good cause he was incline pressing 175 for sets of 6 earlier so it’s just not me who needs to be very low for this exercise by the end of it. Finished with my 5*5 curls (after a good break) being higher than the week before!
I’ve really been striving to add weight or reps throughout this program. Usually if something is 3*10-12 I’ve done the lower number on week 1, and increased it to the max (12 in this case) by week 3 shooting for staying with the same weights or in some cases increasing it.
Tuesday: (Legs/Hams week 2 phase 2)
Had a terrific workout on this yesterday. Increased my squat weight big time on all 4 sets, but only a small increase on romanian DL’s. Unfortuanetly I finished with 10 reps of RDL’s instead of 15 as my lower back was unbearably sore. I probably need to add some more low back work on off days to strengthen it up. I like the leg press/gironda leg curl superset, unfortuanetly my calves were cramping like crazy during the leg curls, oh well.
The 100 leg curls is challenging, but way easier than the 100 bench presses. I was able to complete it this time with no stopping, just 100 smooth reps, nice.
Feeling kickass still, been doing very solid on my nutrition/supps. If someone wants to talk supps I’d be willing to do it through PM’s (don’t want to discuss supps not sold here on here).
How’s everyone else going?
