Friday, March 4th
Alright everyone, I'm back. I apologize for slacking on the updates, but I had some computer issues. My previous video card kicked the bucket completely out of the blue. Although I had access to my dad's computer, I have to share that with him and my dad, so unless they happen to not be using it when I get home from work, then updates weren't going to happen. I did pop in to drop a couple of 1 minute posts in the training sections, but journal entries take a bit more time.
This entry will only include my most recent training session. I haven't done cardio since my last update (Slacking there), because I ended up doing work away from work on both my days off. I was just tired. I will try to do cardio both days this weekend, although I have to help my mom move tomorrow. My diet has been pretty good. One day I went over my planned calories by eating an egg salad sub at work. For some reaon I was just really hungry. My stomach started growling like 45-60 minutes after I had already eaten...
Also, thanks everyone for your well wishing and support!

I was pleased with this training session. I banged out the squats a bit easier than expected. I probably could have done 175 or 185 even if I really wanted to crawl out of the gym. SLDLs were definitely pushing their limits though. Man those were tough.
I upped the rows a bunch from the previous session without issue. Still maintained nice tight form. Chinups were brutal though. Those definitely took a lot out of me. I banged out the upright rows without issue. Progression should come easily here.
Both horizontal pressing movements were chosen well in terms of weight. I should be able to progress on both, although it's gonna be a close call if I don't gain strength. Military presses were the only lift I didn't hit my 15 repetition goal for both sets. Oh well, next go around.
Everything else went nicely too. 70 x 15 was a nice record for my decline situps (My new gym has the same decline bench too). Those hyperextensions went well too. The gym is missing 65 and 85 pound dumbbells for some reason, so I just used 87.5 pound ones instead. More weight can't hurt. My calves didn't mind 260 too much, and I foresee increasing without much trouble next cycle.
All in all, I was pleased. Considering I totally winged it, I thought I picked pretty good weights. Man, 60 second rest intervals on a full body workout where you actually approach failure is death. I'm starting to get conditioned against it already though.
My diet was alright today, although I did replace one meal with a sort of cheat. I had some tuna noodle caserrole. Basically, it was tuna, tri-color pasta (Spinach, egg, and red pepper), and peas. Really not too bad. I'm trying to make my cheats a little less cheatey mostly. That way I can do it a bit more frequently. Of course, I will still go gung ho sometimes (Pizza!).
Bodyweight is basically stalling at 190. I'm still giving my body a bit more time to pack on some weight. If I don't in the next several days, then I will either increase my calories more, or going hypocaloric for a week and then come back to the same number of calories.

I knew there had to be a reason you hadn't been posting. It may be too early to tell , but what are your thoughts so far about Westside compared to HST?
Great w/o CP, nice to have you back!
I was thinkin the same thing. The w/o's look totaly different. Maybe it'll take a few weeks to really see how you like it.JerseyDevil said:

Nice little callisthenics session last night. I kept the rest interval the same as I had been slacking on doing it. I will drop to 20 seconds next week. Once I hit 10 seconds, I think I'll add a 4th run through because I blast through the session so quick.
My diet was a little off yesterday. I had some chicken fajitas from baja fresh which came with beans, rice, tortillas, and pico de gallo. There was also a small amount of sour cream and guacamole used. I also had an extra little glass of milk and whey snack before my exercising went down. I probably pushed 5K calories yesterday, but still no weight gain. I think I might just start throwing down random extra calories during the day to try and spike my weight up a bit. I will try to keep them clean though.

It's hard to tell thus far, although I enjoy the workouts a lot. I can tell I am getting conditioned against them already too. 15 repetitions is a nice change of pace too; I rarely used rep ranges that high before. 15 rep leg work is deadly, but I love it. Full body workouts are also great.
Also, I am trying to refine my form, make sure I keep the repetitions steady (Sometimes I would pause for a second between reps on WS), and subsequently reduce the weight I use. It actually makes me feel better when I perform totally flawless repetitions.
It's a bit premature to talk about results. I'm going to probably have to start eating more. My body seems to have adapted to 4300 calories a day already. =\
Velvet
Thanks much. It's good to be back.

I definitely enjoy the workouts. I think I'll like the 10 and 5 repetition microcycles better, but 15 repetitions is definitely good for something different.
My comp is running nicely. I replaced the video card with something better, so I game with a new found fluidity. Thanks for your concern.

Looking great in here Cow. I look forward to seeing how you like this program later on, it's very interesting.
CowPimp when are you finishing your 15 rep cycle? Mine is due to be completed this Friday. Next HST cycle I will definitely increase my poundage by quite a bit. Anyways, everything is looking tight but are you taking a before and after picture?

Hey rock, I'm enjoying it so far. Results will definitely be a determinant factor, but I certainly enjoy the workouts thus far. I like the constant state of progression, full body workouts, and 1-2 sets per exercise. It keeps you moving arond a lot. It's definitely an interesting protocol.
Yunier
I finished last Friday. I didn't take a before and after picture, although my gallery shots are fairly recent. They will do the trick. However, some of the weight I will have gained will be from my last WS cycle, but they should serve their purpose nonetheless. Glad to hear you'll be increasing those weights. That's possibly my favorite part of weight training.

I've been slacking on the updates again, but here goes another. The workout was nice, and it feels like most everything is well on track to a solid 10RM by the end of next week. Nothing was too challenging, except squats and SLDLs, which are always somewhat challenging even way short of failure.
I was running really late, so I cut out my 5 minute cardio warm-up, and I did full body stretching, but I held the stretches for less time.
I actually forgot to weigh myself this morning, but yesterday morning I was 191. Hopefully I can keep my weight gain at a nice slow and steady pace like this. After all, lean bulking was originally my intention. My diet has was good today. I will have hit 4500 calories clean by the end of the night. I did, however, cheat last night. I had some pizza that we cooked instead of one of the shakes. I probably ate 4500-4600 calories yesterday too.

Looks like a real good workout, but I am little miffed as to why you were doing so little weight on the bench press. I am probably killing you with all these HST questions, but just trying to get a better understand of the overall program, and all programs for that matter.
PreMier
If you count my cardio warm-up, then my workout takes almost exactly an hour. I also stretch for 15 minutes or so at the end.
soxmuscle
I am doing so little because you cascade the weight you use over two weeks. So, my target is 175 x 10. I start by doing 125 x 10, 135, 145, 155, 165, and 175 the final workout of the two weeks.
I may possibly be able to hit 185, but I will have to determine that as I approach my limits. The 60 second rest interval forces me to drop the weight some as well.

Thanks. I'm shooting for 275 x 10 by the time I peak for the 10 rep microcycle.
P-funk
Yeah, definitely. I will be attempting 205 x 10 when I peak during this microcycle. I will do more if I think can handle it based on previous sessions. However, my oly squats seem a bit weaker than my PL squats.
Cold Iron
Remember, I'm still a few sessions away from my peak. Most lifts will be 20-40 pounds more by the time the end of next week rolls around. Calf raises will be 80 pounds more. The machine only has 20 pound increments.
No workout today, just clean eating. I think I will have hit 4400 calories by the end of the day. I will append if necessary. My bodyweight was 190 again, but I'm beginning to throw in 100+ calories a day randomly. Eat a banana, an extra 1/2 cup of oats, another milk & whey shake, or whatever. Kind of a free few hundred calories, but I just try to keep it clean.

First thing that happened when I cut my cals by 500.. I gained a few lbs. I've been sick the last week, so that really cant guage progress.. so I will see in the next week what happens. Keep the 'micro cycles' in mind, you've been bulking for a while.
Very true...a mini cut may just do you some good.PreMier said:
yeah, an olympic squat is very demanding. It is harder to squat that way for most people. Much easier to throw up big weights with a powerlifter squat. Unless you are me...lol, for some reason I suck at powerlifter squats although I have never really worked on getting the form down and I never squat that way. Nor do I care to at this point.

PreMier
That's pretty odd. You're probably right. I think I'm going to finish up this week, then do my 2 weeks of 5 repetitions on a caloric deficit (3300 calories per day). I will probably bump it up during my week off to 3800, then back to 4300, and possibly beyond that if I don't start gaining again.
DeadBolt
Yeah, you guys are right. I'll cut for 2 weeks coming up soon.

Both types are plenty demanding. I think I'll incoroprate both forms of squatting periodically in my routine; I may even do both forms simultaneously at some point.

I didn't weight myself this morning, but I was 191 on Saturday. My workout was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary, but solid. I also did my callisthenics routine, but both times with a 20 second rest interval on the weekend. I will probably keep it at 20 seconds next week too. I was actually almost failing on pushups on the last set.
I had a cheat meal each day on the weekend. I had some chicken tenders, two bites of a ham omlette, and a few bites of blueberry pie with ice cream. That replaced one meal. The next day I had steak, bernaise sauce, and rice pilaf. I had a lot of rice. I missed the one of the normal 8 meals though, so calories were probably about the same. Friday was all clean.

Bodyweight
192
Excellent workout today. My hamstrings were still ever so slightly sore from the previous workout. I hit all my goals except for chinups and military press. Chinups I decided to shoot for bodyweight, even though I knew I wasn't going to hit 10 for 2 sets with that rest interval. 10 reps was borderline failure on the first set, although I could probably do more if I didn't row first. It left my pull muscles with no gas for the second set, and I only got 5 repetitions completed. I only fell short 1 repetition on the military presses on the second set, not too shabby.
I bumped up the decline situps 7.5 pounds instead of 5 because my gym is missing the 65 and 85 pound dumbbells for some reason. I was still able to perform them at a steady pace.
I didn't weigh myself today or yesterday, but Wednesday morning I was 192. Diet has been clean, although I fell short of 4300 calories Monday and Tuesday (Odd how I gained weight when I was about 500 calories short those days). I cheat two days, one of which I think was Wednesday. I ate about 4700-4800 calories because of some free food at work. The other day was today because I forgot my meal replacement shake. Oh well. I'll live. Calories should still probaly be about 4500 by the end of today, assuming I don't cheat later on.
I didn't do cardio Tuesday or Thursday, but I will shoot for it both days this weekend.
Let me preface by saying I'm a slacker. There is really no other reason for me not posting, besides slacking. Anyway, here we go with the latest workout.
