UnKillable Kleinhound 2: This time he's more unkillable-er

I’ve just started adding 2% to my skin fold results. That puts you at a shade under 10%.

Heavy legs

  1. Squat 4x6 @ 140 (moderate wrap under and above knee, no pressure at all on the kneecap and felt really good. Was able to squat really slow and controlled so I think I’ll keep doing this. Still took them off between sets but they weren’t so tight I was in pain, I wasn’t bouncing into them so I was still working)
  2. Hack squats 4x6 @ 150
  3. Leg press 4x8 @ 90kg per side
  4. RDL (feel these more in hams than stiff legs and that’s the point) 4x8 @ 120kg
  5. Leg Extension 4x8 @ 65kg
  6. Leg curl 4x8 @ 61kg
  7. Standing calf 4x8 @ 170kg
  8. Seated calf 4x8 @ 50kg (tibialis raise to failure between sets)
  9. decline weighted abs 4x10 @ 15kg
  10. Hang leg raise 4x10

And you’re a vegetarian! Still blows me away this insane amount of work you are putting in. You are probably just doing this so you have a decent appetite for Xmas day :joy:

In all seriousness, this has got to be the most accurate assessment of most people that ever lived. Easily including me. And I know it. And it kills me to know that I never stick anything out until I become a master at it. I always pull out at ‘adept’. Tis my curse :confused: (yes I’m being dramatic)

Thursday: Light Push

  1. DB bench press 4x12 @ 32.5kg
  2. Incline Bench press 4x12 @ 52.5kg
  3. Incline DB fly 4x12 @ 15kg
  4. Cable Crossover 4x12 @ 17.5kg
  5. DB military press 4x12 @ 20kg
  6. Cable lateral raise 4x12 @ 5kg (did one set at 7.5kg and couldn’t stay there)
  7. Cable front raise 4x12 @ 7.5kg
  8. Skull crushers 4x12 @ 25kg
  9. Cable tricep pushdown 4x12 @ 35kg

appart from cable laterals everything is moving up. Weights stay the same next week, then the week after it jumps up again, I think I’m supposed to add some extra reps or sets next week when the weight stays the same,…oh joy.
I remember why I never tried to be a body builder. Oh well, its only 6 more weeks after Saturday so we’ll get through it

I probably missed something here, but why are you doing so much focused hypertrophy work?

So I’m taking a week off this week due to xmas, my sister’s wedding and also nye.

3 Likes

well the week off has been great and my body feels really good, not too sore, maybe a bit stiff. Work and life in the new year looks like it’s going to cut my available gym time right down, so this six days a week plan was probably too ambitious. I certainly won’t be able to do six days, and maybe not even five ‘dedicated’ gym days. Working more and moving in with my partner means I want to spend less time ‘in the gym’ and more time living and working towards our future. So starting January 1st, in line with the Transformation Challenge, I’ll be starting the first six weeks with Building the Monolith, three days is easy and I can pick up a missed workout, whereas with six a week I lose that opportunity. It was a fun two weeks but not sustainable for me, with my life, commitments and ‘life goals’

I’ll try to do more Yoga again at home on off days, some running/skipping etc.

In for Building the Monolith gains! :muscle:t2::muscle:t2:

Be careful. You’re starting to sound like me. I tend to program hop because life has a way of making it tough to do certain programs.
