Hypertrophy W1D4 While this was only 3 supersets (including cardio), it was a stout workout. So far the leg portion of this plan packs a punch. I slowed the tempo on the squats down for sets 4 and 5. Took a quick second to rebrace myself at the top. The chins felt great today. I typical...

Hypertrophy W1D3 I was a little fatigued and on a time crunch this morning so not optimal at all. Bench was just OK. Made it thru everything, but it was heavier than it should've been. The snatch deadlifts were probably the easiest and cleanest portion of today's workout. Other than needing...

Check out W4D4... Efficient, but you use everything in the gym in that one superset....

[quote] Any chance you did an InBody or 3D scan before you started and now? I would be curious to see fat loss vs muscle mass loss especially with multiple studies stating that muscle loss is a huge concern with lack of dietary guidance/education.[/quote] I did one a few days before I started. ...

Several of us did Pool Season 1 and 2 last April and May. There should be threads on them if you search. I enjoyed it and it is one of the more popular (and recommended) PPSA plans. Both are 4 days/week with similar schemes. I'm doing Hypertrophy now then taking a 2 week break for vacation. I p...

Hypertrophy W1D2 Heavy leg and back day. Very efficient workout plan today; under 65 minutes even with my extended warm-up. It was 2 supersets (3 with cardio). The back squat/chin-up SS was easier than the front squat/bent row one. Even though back squat had more reps, the relative weight was...

[quote]What workouts do you miss that aren't included in these plans.[/quote] Benchamin Franklin 1 and Christmas Big Bench both don't have deadlifts. BF1 has a little squat 1 day a week while CBB has a few sets twice a week. I know both are bench focused, but there's just not enough legs for me...

Benchamin Franklin 2 - Day 23 Knocked it out yesterday. Nothing special about this one; bench, Arnold press, chins, and CG bench. Bench was OK. I completed the Arnold presses, but control could've been better had I used a lighter DB. Ironically the CG bench felt better than the traditional be...

Benchamin Franklin 2 - Day 22 Knowing today was going to be tough, I took a true rest day yesterday. Just some grocery shopping, vacation planning, and board games with the kids. I grabbed my belt for the first time since Deadcember. Went ahead and used it and knee sleeves on squat (and adde...
