Chest today:

Flat BB Bench - 140 X 12, 190, 230, 260 X 8, 270 X 4
Incline DB Bench - 90 X 10 X 3
Dips - +10 X 5, +25 X 5, +35 X 8, +45 X 3
Incline Flies - 45 X 10 X 3
Reverse Grip Straight Bar Tricep Extension - 60 X 8 X 3
Super Set w/Straight Bar Tricep Extension - 72 X 8 X 2, 60 X 8

Great pump and fullness today. That 260 X 8 on flat bench matches yet another PR that I set 20lbs ago. I kept incline DB the exact same, which was really tough. I was going for a different rep range (sets of 5) with dips, but 35lbs on my dip belt felt light so I kept going. Great PR on dips there. Some sick tricep pumps ended my workout today.

Great lift today. Feeling strong and looking lean. About 5 weeks left of cutting!

Looks really good. Strength levels in particular... on a cut!

Nice work!!

Thanks! It's been slow and steady. I'd guess I'm 12-13% body fat right now. It would be nice to be 10% after my last little bit of this cut and recomping on my BP run.

And rob, what do you think of a formula like this to replace maca during my solidifying phase?

500mg: MACA P.E. 4:1, Tribulus Terrestris P.E. from Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris (Standarized at a 40% Saponin Content), Epimedium (40% Icariin), Eurycoma Longifolia (Long Jack) (Root) (Standarized for a 20:1 Extract)

Dosed 3 caps a day perhaps?

Not bad. Who's product is it?

When you're dealing with refined extracts, that's important. I much prefer adaptogen N. Custom 25:1 extract of Suma, Trib, Longjax, DHEA, Melatonin. Superb recovery agent/test booster/adaptogen.

Or, consider Burn It Up! PeakATP, MACA (10:1), Phoshatidylserine, real Korean Red etc.. Superb adaptogen IMO.

I take no favor though. Let me know on the brand and I'll research for you (no links please). .

I didn't link on purpose Rob

The product is 'Perform' by Anabolic Innovations. I trust and love this company. I only asked about this product specifically because I have 2 bottles on hand..

OK, give it a shot and report back!

Update on when I want to start the Blueprint:

I'm most likely going to California from September 3rd-6th. I don't think I'll have a gym to use there, so I'm planning on having my pre-BP week off during that time. So, my week off will begin on August 28th and my famine will start September 6th. Woot woot

Edit: or I'm thinking that I could do my famine before I leave. Finish on Friday before I head to Cali. I can then take Saturday-Monday off, according to the BP and start fresh on Tuesday back in Madison.

Opinions Rob or anyone else??

Back and bis:

BB Row - 140 X 12, 190, 235, 235, 235 X 6
Seated Cable Row - 240 X 8 X 4
Standing Close-grip Row - 125, 150, 175 X 8
Reverse-grip Curl - 40, 60, 70 X 10
Concentration Curl - 35 X 8 X 2, 40 X 6
Standing EZ Bar Curl - 80 X 6 X 2
Super Set w/Bent Over DB Curl - 25 X 6 X 2
Dead Lift - 235 X 8 X 3
Super Set w/Back Extension - 45 X 8 X 3

Good workout. As you can see, most of my big lifts are using weights around 235lbs. That's the weight class I will be wrestling in this season, so I figure I should get used to lifting 235lb people/weights

That last super set with dead lifts was awesome. I got such a great back pump from that. I do dead lift at the end usually because it's ao taxing. When I used to do it first in my workouts, the rest of my lifts suffered. I think with more rest and adaptogens during the BP should allow me to do dead lifts first soon...

Terrific!

Keep us posted on the exercise order switch. Should be interesting..

The latter sounds like a good plan. Lots of travel in between to and fro though. I know how the road is and eating isn't always optimal.

Provided you think you can pull it off, go for it. Otherwise, stick with the original plan. I HATE travelling...

I'll right, then officially I'm taking a week of starting August 23rd, then doing famine from August 30 - September 6. I can get my last workout in Friday morning before I leave for Cali

Just got done with a nice, intense bike ride before it gets too hot. I'm also going home today! Next day I lift will probably be Friday.
