Dear Diary :

Squat 1x5 150, 1x3 200, 2x2 235, 1x7 235

Accidentally did the wrong rep scheme, but lower back was feeling tweaky so I left it alone.

Bench 1x5 125, 1x3 165, 3x6 195, 1x3 225, 1x20 135

Bench felt a touch weak.

Rope Curl 3x14 80

Rope Tricep Ext 3x14 80

Fly Machine 3x14 140

Preacher Curl 3x10 85, 1x8 95, 1x3 115, 1x20 75

Decline Abs 3x5, 2x8 increasing angle each set.

Finished today in about an hour, which hasn’t happened in a while.

Mon ami virtuel, aujourd’hui je suis allé à la salle de sport, et c’était bien.

DL 1x5 195 lbs, 1x3 255 lbs, 2x2 300lbs, 1x5 300 lbs

OHP 1x5 80 lbs, 1x3 100 lbs, 2x4 120 lbs, 1x7 120 lbs

Face Pulls 3x14 115lbs

HS Rows 1x14 140 lbs, 1x14 160 lbs, 1x14 180 lbs

I added some very light lat work with some guidance from a former body builder friend. Trying to make connections to my back.

Focused mainly on hypertrophy ranges?

3 different bench rep ranges on different days.

8, 1 and 4-6

The 1 is just 5 sets of 1 to generate power/speed at moderate to heavy weight.

My goal is to be close to failure in each set (or at least the last set) so I’m usually adding weight every set to achieve it.

Those are some heavy 8’s on bench. I think I’m only hitting 3 reps at 245 lbs.

Today:

OHP 1x5 95 lbs, 1x3 125 lbs, 1x3 145 lbs

DL 1x5 175 lbs, 1x3 235, 2x4 275 lbs, 4x3 275 lbs, 1x5 275 lbs

Lat Pulldown 2x15 110 lbs

Leg Ext 2x15 110 lbs

DB Rows 2x15 50’s

Some quick cable lat work.

The Rippler is tapering the accessories before the max out week 12. Good thing since I forgot that I had to meet a customer at 11:30.

I hope you’ll post more of your workout structure. Looks like a good approach to strength building and size building. I’m trying to do both, but I feel like I’m serving two masters, and neither as well as I’d like.

I’ll go one better and post the link to the workout.

M: Chest/Side Delts
Tu: Back/Rear Delts/Abs
W: Chest/Triceps
Th: Legs
F: Chest/Biceps/Abs

The only thing I do differently is add weight if I hit the prescribed weight/reps during the prior set and had more in the tank.

On the workout last posted, I’ll probably start with 235 the next time I’m going for sets of 8, and then go 245, 250, and maybe 255 if I can hit 8 on the previous 3 sets.

You’re not overtraining chest because the chest working sets (combined) over the week is 24 at most. (8 sets per day).

6’2 217 lbs male. 24 years old

Before my disc bulge injury, I was squatting 370 lbs for 5 reps and that was my absolute limit. I have genetically long femurs which makes it harder to squat with depth and safe form. The longer your femurs are, the more range of motion you have compared to a shorter person with shorter femurs. If I tried 405 I probably would have completely herniated my disc.

Can’t go above 225 on deadlift or I risk tweaking my back. I sucked arse as benching due to my genetics so I never bothered trying to get to a certain number on that m.

Now I just train for my fitness. I’m not trying to impress anyone, I just want to reap the health benefits of lifting weights

I appreciate. I’ll need to think on how to do this with a four day scheme, or have a five day scheme that overlaps the week.

How long is your typical workout?
