Not at all. Just giving you a hard time. As far as I know the game is still on. We can talk more about it when it gets closer.

So I'm thinking that I will do the powerlifting cycle starting Monday, but probably just the bench and deadlifting parts. I'm happy with where I am on squats, and I think doing a HIT leg day on Wed, bookended by bench on Monday and deads on Friday will not only keep things fresh but really stoke the fire at the same time. Any thoughts?
 
Almost forgot to mention my grocery trip. Picked up lots of good stuff (produce, fruits, etc.) with minimal junk. Best of all Perdue ground turkey was on sale for a buck a pound. Picked up 10 of them (no more room in the freezer.) So today will be grilling chicken for the weke, plus turkey burgers, squash, portobella caps, and maybe a banana or two.

Grocery list looks good, can I put my order in for a chicken breast yet? :laugh:
That plan of attack looks REAL interesting, I like it alot, let us all know how you feel doing it!!!
Remeber though, you will be slaying your legs so your CNS might be shot for a day or two!!! Just keep that in mind, but it looks great to me, I'm curious how you'll do on it!!!
I'll be following along closely (As Usual)

That's my real concern. I think Wed might be a lighter version of HIT, with a little less work that normal, some squats, but no leg press, calf work, aybe even a full body run, depending on my arms feel after the bench day. I can see doing legs/arms, something like:

Squats (relatively light, maybe 20x2)
Leg curls
knee raises
Calf raises

wrist curls
preacher curls
tri extends or stiff pulldowns
lat pulls

That would move things aroudn quite a bit, but not really hit anything that the bench and dead work will hammer.
 
I like that ALOT!!! So you would only be doing BIG movers on Mondays and Fridays, and secondary work and legs on Wed? I really like that plan, very Interesting!!!
 
Make sure you keep writing all your sets down and trying to beat them. When I switch my exercises around too much I often forget the target rep range or weight I am/should be using.

Lets see some workouts :grin:
 
Powerlifting day one - bench work

Warm up bench - 45x10, 95x6, 135x3
time: 11:25
bench - 185x6, x6, x5
CG bench - 135x8
WG bench - 135x8

time: 11:42
incline db - 50x8, x8, x6
dips - -100x7, -115x9, x9
pec deck - 100x10, x10

skulls - 50x10, x9
tri pressdown - 115x6(drop)110x4, 110x12

time: noon

Wow. I will not be doing any tri work on my one HIT day for this program. They were shot. When I tried to push the door to the locker room open, there was no strength left and I just ended up pushing it open with my chest. I was hitting failure on the pressdowns with about 30 lbs less than normal.

Not happy with the press weights, but I'm starting where I thought I should. Will go up on the CG for sure. The long rest times at the beginning (4 min) were hard for me, so I checked the clock when they were done and cut down on RIs the rest of the time (which is why time is listed 3 times.) Overall, really liked it, very demanding. :thumb:
 
Great w/o Brother Pylon!!! I read the article, VERY interesting!!! I'll be following you very close, excellent starting point!!!
 
I awoke to the sounds of my front delts begging for mercy. They are killing me. Chest and tris also have good DOMS going as well. Tomorrow should be even better.
 
Don't you just love waking up in the morning after a good workout with killer DOMS.
 
the worst is legs. After getting up and standing for the first time, i immediatey lose my balance and it hurts so damn bad.
 
No question, Shiz. I hate it when my calves are so fried I can't get my legs to straighten out and I have to tiptoe around for two days. That and my quads being so tight I walk around with my knees locked. Not good times.

Chest though? Nothing better!

I think a BBQ is a heck of an idea, but can we have it at Riss' place instead? :D
 
I've pulled things together this week and feeling much better. Deadlifting today, should be fun.

After som thought, I think I realized the problem was I was just burned out on cutting for the last 8 months. That's a heckuva long time. This week I just tried to keep the diet more or less clean, but didn't worry about counting macros or anything. Not only was it easier, but I realized I did better that way, for now at least.

For instance, I planned on stopping for a bagel sandwhich on the way to work, and if I knew I COULDN'T do it, I would have (if that makes sense.) Since I could if I wanted, it was easier not to. I think this approach will mak life easier for me.

I've also decided I really like the idea of an 8 week cycle, not just for this powerlifting, but overall. It seems like I can be more strict on a plan if I know it is short term. I think I am going to try 8 week cycles of different plans for a while. I will finish the powerlifting cycle, then maybe an 8 week cut, or possibly something else. The idea is to cut on every third cycle. That should keep things fresh while still getting good results.

I completly understand where your comin from!!! That makes alot of sense to me, and you know I will be with ya the whole way!!! Maybe you can do a competition too!!! Maybe sometime we can train together? Hope you have a great weekend!!!
 
Gaah...work has been a mess this week. No lifting since Monday, now I have to deal with a REALLY boneheaded decision by my bosses and will be running TWO offices (one here, one in New Orleans.) Not looking forward to the travel or the hassle of dealing with those people.

So, as in most times of stress, treating the wife to pizza, wings and ice cream for dinner. (And I wonder how I hit 350...)

I feel like I'm letting some of you (not to mention myself) down with this crap. It's a lousy excuse for slacking off. I always figured I would run into physical breakdowns along the way, but the mental one I'm in has been the worst.
