May have to add some more calories back into my diet as the workout yesterday wasn’t so hot. Could have been lack of sleep too… idk, always something small that can affect a workout in a big way. No real huge loss of strength or anything but I did notice a lot of sets were hit and miss. Some improved, some didn’t. The biggest thing was my incline bb chest press. Thought I was gonna get a full 3 sets for 90 lbs but instead got 2×9x90 and 1×5x90. Disheartening, but I’ll have to see what next week brings. Going to try adding a lot more protein to account for the caloric deficit.

Also, when I was in the gym yesterday I noticed a sign saying that the gym was going to be closed due to floor refinishing. I was a little pissed but then I noticed that the gym closes the day before I leave NY. Talk about a lucky break.

And I could use it. My two week cycle I’m on right now has given me some of the most intense workouts I’ve done. Everything is sore especially my ass. Loving the results, and can still see progress while cutting.

As for life, I leave New York in 18 days and head back to Arizona to get back into school and being a civilian. I enlisted for the reserve as the benefits the military offers are unrivaled. I’ll be back in AZ just in time to miss the NY snowstorms… Can’t wait!

Doggcrapped my shoulders on seated lateral row for 9,6,5×70 20 sec rest. Standing lateral 8×45(6×35)(5×30). Db presses 2×9x75, 7×75(8×50)

For midback 9,6,4×160. Bentarm bentover lats 8×65(6×55)(5×45).

Traps… 10×275(8×225)

Biceps 9×100 on preacher curls with doggcrapped cable curls at 7,5×65. Concentration curls 8×40(6×30)(5×20). Incline hammer curls 8×30(6×20)

Overall, intense workout. Those double drops and multirestpause sets killlllled my muscles. Repeating my workout from tuesday on saturday and then next week is the last week of ‘total destruction’. Ill post what kind of workout i decide to do for my final days in NY. All I gotta say is everyone back home that hasn’t seen me for months are gonna go damnnnnnnnn

Did my leg workout on the new workout scheme. Double drop set on leg extensions to warm up, then 1 1/4 movements for another set.

Then it was onto leg press using the doggcrapp method. 9×810, 6×810, 4×810 with 20 seconds rest. Brutallllllll

For hamstrings, double drop leg curls to warm up and 1 1/4 movement set. Then I did smith lunge squats one side at a time then switching. Definitely one of the better leg workouts I did.

That’s not all I did, just a very abbreviated sampling. Leave your thoughts.

After two weeks of higher reps and a lot of hypertrophy overload, I’m going into a system overload cycle for 2 weeks…. just in time to road trip all the way back to AZ.

Still keeping to my favorite 2×7-9, 7-9(8) set scheme for the big power movements. Today was chest and did 90 lb dbells drop to 60s. That was good and the white flood and glycergrow I started today already made a noticeable difference in the gym.

On some exercises that I wouldn’t need a spot on, I’m doing the doggcrapp method. This method dictates using the same weight for 3 sets with 20 seconds rest between. Talk about killer. On decline extensions I did 9×70, 6×70,5×70 with mid partials to end the set. Destroyed my tris on the first exercise. Tomorrow is legs and I can NOT wait to try the doggcrapp on my leg press. I have seen some phenomenal progress strength and size wise and can not wait to see what my new program is gonna produce. Cheer me on, throw some donations my way, whatever, lol.

A lot of people on this website that get stuck in a plateau stay stuck.
