Nice work and HR is increasing just as it should be.
If you're posting elsewhere... use your judgement. I just don't want to give any details away for free given what you all invested. Speak in general terms... that's fine. Specifics on sets/reps diet and the like... not good. That being said, BP is hard to reverse engineer
Had some liver tabs, aminos, steak, and eggs for breakfast this morning, along with 4 pieces WW toast. And let me tell you, what a satisfying breakfast it was
Taking the next 3 days off to recuperate and feed.
Question: I plan to add dead lift and military press to the GLP when I do that. Is there anyway to incorporate those 2 lifts into the 5 day high intensity program without slowing it down too much? Otherwise how do I determine GLP numbers if I don't know my max?
That alot to bite off adding them to the loading pattern workouts.
Rather, consider adding them into your EDT blocks. You'll still see a nice boost and you can use them in that format during both the workouts 1-5 bridge and GLP phases..
Workout one down! It felt awesome to lift again. What a crazy workout it was too.
Squats - 390 X 8 (PR)
Bench - 270 X 7
EDT Block
Dead lift w/DB Skull Crusher
230, 230, 230, 250, 250, 250 X 6
35 X 6 X 6
Kind of surprised I hit all the reps in my EDT block. I'll adjust my weights for next time. And I must say that I'm destroyed today. Everything is sore lol
Going to keep cals at 4,000 for now and protein at 300-350.
Actually, what I meant was, whatever # of total reps you got with your last EDT block.... use the same weights and try to get more total reps.
Here's what I'm seeing:
Dead lift w/DB Skull Crusher
230, 230, 230, 250, 250, 250 X 6
35 X 6 X 6
On DL, you did 36 total reps (6 sets of 6 reps) with weights of 230, 230, 230, 250 and 250
On Skullcrushers, you did a total of 36 total reps (6x6) with 35lbs.
Now I just have a few comments...
Since the first EDT session went so well and you noted you were strong on such, I agree you'll need to set a new baseline with new weights.
Try to stick with the same weight to use on each set and just focus on gettting a good baseline # of reps next workout. It's much easier to keep track of say, working with 240lbs on the DL for those 6 sets than adding weight the last 2. Once that's cemented it just becomes a game of upping the reps each time you repeat that EDT block!
You're early enough on in your run to re-establish an EDT block to work with, so by all means let me know and I can help you do that. With a new PR SQ already under your belt just 1 workout in, this has the makings of a FANTASTIC run.
Big things happening on the Blueprint! Took an extra day off because I was still a bit sore in the lower back and hamstring areas. It paid off baby!!
I hit 410 X 8 on squats, a big PR!! (old pr 410 X 6)
Bench was 290 X 4 (pr is 290 X 5)
EDT Block:
Dead lift - 260 X 6 X 6
DB Skullz - 40 X 6 X 6
I guess I'm going up again next time lol
Upper body is a little weaker than I expected, but my legs are terrific! Calves and legs feel strong.
Toning calories down a bit. 3500 on workout days, 3000 on off. Weight is 249 this morning. Up 5.5 (net) pounds from the beginning of famine and 13 pounds from the end of famine.
