Beast's training Log! (With videos)
Little background on myself
So things have been changing a lot for me since my last log, i dropped down to about 200Lbs. Leanest i have ever been in a long time, began my cut at about 250lbs and dropped 50lbs in about 6 months taking my time. Been steadily making progress since then and am sitting right around 213Lbs, goal for this log/cycle is to add some good size and strength. Lost a lot of my strength from my cut but it was worth it! I lost focus on training my main lifts so my focus lately has been back to the simple basics, i was able to build a pretty good amount of muscle somehow with my "bodybuilding" oriented style training but for now it is BACK TO BASICS. This log will be pretty boring training wise as all i am going to do is: DEADLIFT, SQUAT, BENT ROW, PULL UPS, MILITARY PRESS, BENCH PRESS, Maybe some barbell shrugs. Trying to keep this as simple as possible!
TRAINING
5x5 3 week Block then 10x10 3 week block alternating style
Day 1: Squat
Day 2: Rows/Pull Ups/Barbell Shrugs
Day 3: Overhead Press OR Incline Bench Press/Tricep Extension, May rotate Bench with OHP for less shoulder stress
Day 4: Squat/Deadlift
Day 5: Rows/Pull Ups
Day 6: Bench Press/Close Grip Bench
Day 7: Rest
Actually hit a plateau on my overhead press so to work around it i decided to work incline more. Seems to be working so far made some good gains on incline as well. Should carry over to my overhead! I aim for 5 sets with a working weight, once i hit it i add 10lbs for Squat/Deadlift, 5lbs to pressing movements. If i stall for 3 workouts or more i drop the weight down and work back up again. Trying to squeeze every last bit out of this before changing to ramping 5x5 style. I used to do the normal template for 5x5 which was 3x per week but i quickly noticed that i could handle training a lot more frequent due to past experiences. The 7th day rest is optional, i'll probably just force myself to do it since it'll benefit me in the long run!
AS OF RIGHT NOW: I am alternating to 10x10 on cycle then going to 5x5 for PCT to manage gains/increase strength. Will be doing this probably for the next 5-6 months. I am 2 days into 10x10 and my joints feel way better and it is a good change of pace for my gains! GVT is really really intense!
NUTRITION
4500 Calories MINIMUM, Macros are going to be an emphasis on Protein and Carbs, while keeping fats relatively low (under 100g) I use HumaPro for mostly for my protein so i can have a larger emphasis on carbohydrates, i still eat a large amount of protein from lean sources throughout the day, my main source is usually chicken or beef. This may sound weird but believe me, if you haven't tried it then you do not understand how effective this is! I really like to eat so if it comes down to it i will just eat. I am not concerned with gaining a slight bit of fat.
GOALS
My goals for this log/cycle are to gain a relative good amount of size but with more emphasis on strength. I'd like to note that i am not a "strong" guy in most lifts, technique has been my downfall so just up until recently i had been doing "fluff and pump" training. I really want to hit some good numbers and add respectable improvements to my lifts which shouldn't be hard at all.
