Two training days down since my last post, still truckin.
It's been a wild ride so far.. many more weeks of changes to come
I have one more workout (the max load workout) for my 2nd semi-cycle within the HST protocol. Following Sunday's day of destruction, I will jump to 10 rep sets. The weights per lift will drop to Workout 5's weights (12 rep weeks), and then I'll progressively load from there.
For example. Week 4, Day 5, Bent Over DB Rows (12 Reps x 2 Sets) 50lbs.
Week 4, Day 6, Bent Over DB Rows (12 Reps x 2 Sets) 55lbs.
Week 5, Day 1, Bent Over DB Rows (10 Reps x 2 Sets) 50lbs.
This gives me 5 training sessions to progressively load to a 10 rep max weight for every exercise!
Program is pretty cool. Requires meticulous logging on my part, and a constant monitoring of my real life performance. (joints, fatigue, rest intervals)
Diet is going well. Eating a little less naturally, not as hungry lately. I try to sneak in extra calories with my whole foods that I have a hard time eating. (whipping cream, MCT oil, butter, "Just Mayo" and all it's flavors, etc) The weekends are a different story though actually.. Girl and I went to Cheesecake Factory and I went to work.
-Thai Lettuce Wraps
-Stuffed Mushrooms (cheese stuffed, not breaded)
-Full Size Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad
-California Omelette w/ Sliced Tomatoes
-(I know this has carbs.. but I was very tight all day), the "no carb" Cheesecake (5g NET carbs, 30g Sugar Alcohols though)
The cheesecake was a little treat for me.. and god damn it was good. Best 30g of "kind of" carbs I've ever ate in my life.
Waiter, Girlfriend, Dad, and onlookers were in awe at the sheer volume of food I consumed. It was funny really.. I was very hungry that evening. Wish I was bulking
Made a little change to the dosing of my AI, hoping to clear up some acne with a more hormonally stable environment. 0.15mg EOD, to replace my 0.3mg E3.5D. Has done tremendous things in the two weeks since making the change. I still have acne, but it's not progressively getting worse anymore, and the large majority of old stuff is clearing up with very little new development coming behind it. Bravo to me.
Alright, I'd love to keep going.. It's 7 a.m. and I have work extra early tomorrow (3p.m.)
Remain hungry!
