First Max OT W/O

Going with Max OT for an 8 week cycle while cutting. I'm also slowing the cut down because I think I lost a nice amount of muscle previously, that shows in my #'s here.

Bench-
205 x 4
185 x 6
185 x 6 (will up to 195 next w/o)

HS Incline Bench-
200 x 6
200 x 6
200 x 5 (will up to 210 next w/o)

HS Decline Bench-
230 x 6
230 x 6 (will up to 240 next w/o)

Skulls-
70 x 6
70 x 6
80 x 6 (will up to 85 next w/o)

Pushdown-
90 x 5
90 x 5 ( on this pulley 90 is freaking heavy, I can go to the other side and put on the whole stack- 180 and do 10 reps no problem :shrug: )

W/O Time- 40 min not including warm-up

I was really disappointed with bench. Not long ago I woulda had 225 x 6 for 3 sets no problem. 205 felt VERY heavy. Might be muscle loss or just not doing regular bench for a few weeks.
 
I started back on carbs Tue though, might still be depleted maybe but I "felt" good during my w/o as opposed to when I wasn't taking in carbs.

Made me think of you :lol: Mornin'
 
AWESOME Luke!!!!! I LOVE Rocky, obviously :D Post ANY Rocky or Sly Stallone pics in here :thumbs: Thanks.
 
Heya bud...how ya doin? I see you started max-ot...hope ya like it.

Your lack of strength could be from you just not doing regular bench in a while. There are a multitude of reasons why it could have gone down and yes it could have been b/c of the ckd...that sounds like muscle loss at its finest imo. How many carbs are you currently taking in?

The pressdowns are the same by me to....I can do the entire stack for like 8-10 reps but on the other side of the gym I can barely do half of it. Its odd...

I've been taking in about 120g carbs the past few days. That's good for me, I'll slowly try to up it on Training days.

Nice wo Rock !!! Have you done Max OT before ?
Thanks Gary. I tried it back in the fall. You sent me all the info, but I only lasted about 2 weeks before getting hurt. I've changed it a bit so hopefully that won't happen this time. :D

Hey Rock. Ceasing bench, lack of carbs, less overall bodyweight, and some muscle loss which is inevitable with a cut... Of course you're going to be weaker. Been down this road a few times and that's why I almost never cut now. That is the tradeoff. At least for me, I would rather be stronger with medium bodyfat, then feeling weak with low bodyfat.

LOL, don't sweat it. Like I said, it was only like 2 weeks. Not very memorable :D I am being careful. I'm hoping the longer time between w/o's will be my saving grace.

Your right, just seemed I was A LOT weaker and I wasn't expecting that. I'm still "cutting" but doing it much slower now :thumbs:
 
Legs

Well, today was going to be legs and I'm only working 7 hours today. So I got up, got ready for the gym and on my way there realised I calculated my time wrong and I needed to be at work in an hour :mad: I was pissed because my gym time is far and between now, I need every day! Well I turned back around and went back home to get ready for work :(

Happy easter buddy.

As you can see, I'm still finding my weights. Longer w/o than I wanted today because of all the warm-ups. First had to warm-up to do Squats, then for SLDL, then for GM's, then for calves... :rolleyes: That sucked. Otherwise a good w/o. Feels good to have "fueled" w/o's again :thumbs:

I've been gone

Hey everyone. Thanks for you comments in here. :thumbs:

Anyway I've been gone for a bit because my Grandfather died last week. My parents were up there visiting him when he went into the hospital. Well towards the end, both my parents get pneumonia and can hardly get outta bed. So Lisa and I drove up to Rhode Island to take care of my parents and to make arrangements for the funeral. In the process my Grandmother suffered a stroke and went in the hospital also. We moved her straight from the hospital to a nursing home (where she wasn't before). Can you imagine on the same day your husband of 60 years dies you get put in a nursing home? Well it had to be done though. So that's where I've been, got back last night and I'm trying to get into a routine again.

Of course the entire time I'm gone I'm eating like crap. Just grapping what I could since I didn't have a lot of time. I'll post my w/o's a bit later.

Just wanted to say it's nice to be back.
 
Sorry to hear that Dave... My thoughts are with you and your family
