Workout 6
March 3

Ok, I gotta find a way to post these things more efficiently.
Today I used BIU for the first time. And I like it much better than LITup. Really clean energy with no shakey hands. I felt focused.

I'm still trying to figure out my weight on this. Looks like I gotta dial it down about 15 more lbs. Which is fine, no ego here.

Hey bro,

I'm trying to follow along your earlier posts where you did the 5 workout bridge from 2.0, but I can't figure out where you got your EDT sets from. I'm reading through 2.0 and I found the bench and squat scheme you used, but am not finding the EDT sets you were doing.

Can you tell me where you found those?

Normally, GLP 1 is subsequent to Bridge, but what i did was the 5 workout bridge then 3.0 as outlined in the dietary guidelines pdf you'll get later. As long as you stay within the shell of the BP you should be ok.

I hadnt trained in 2 months so i had no idea what my max numbers were or what my work capacity was. So instead of going straight into 3.0 i did the bridge to get my max numbers to plug into 3.0.. There are pros and cons: cons are i stay in feast longer, need more supplements plus higher risk of burnout. Pros were i went into 3.0 with newfound strength. I also believe that "burning" the movements into my CNS actually decreased my risk of future injury even if feast is longer. Plus i gained lots of strengh in a very small amount of time.

For those five workouts i spent up to 2 hours a workout practicing my form and doing additional core accesory movements to bolster my progress. Eating DURING those sessions were important (the formula).

I think my biggest regret so far was investing in supplements instead of the irondmind squat belt. It would have came in handy during those 5 workouts.

HIIT cardio on recumbent bike for 15 minutes

Hyperextensions 3 sets of 12

Stretching on the precore stretching machine.

I have to recommend this machine because, as I said before, it's a great start!

Got it!

I skipped Romanian deadlift because my lower back felt very suspicious today. I wonder why. I don't know, but I know I'm developing a kind of inner warning signal when it comes to these things. I guess thats a plus.

Overall a crappy workout. I'll make it up.

Core Work

Cable Crunch both standing and kneeling with 150 lbs: 3 sets of 10
Planks
Back Extensions w/ 10 lbs x 3 sets of 12
glute/ham raises: 10 (assisted)


I find if I use the rope attachment on the pulley and raise the attachment all the way up, I can simulate my judo movements with lots of weight!
It can only help. my mid section now appears "bulky", at least compared to when I started.

Hopefully I can heal in two days, but I'm almost at the end and I have NO intention of getting myself injured now. So I've doubled my KA intake but if I need the extra rest I'll take it in preparation for workout 10.

It's good to almost be done with feast. I grow tired of eating so much.

March 16 Fri

TOP RANGE RACK PULL
1)300 x 5s
2)290 x 10

These rack pulls turned out to be easier without the straps. I use an underhook grip with both hands supinated and this takes a tremendous amount of pressure off of my shoulders (I have small bones). I gotta pick up a pair of straps with some elastic threaded into the cloth to help grab the iron.

Just one more very important workout. I'm going for another PR on squat, 225 lbs. I just purchased some weightlifting shoes too but the chuck taylors have been just fine to be honest.
That post workout drink taste bad but works well. That combined with KA and I literally don't get sore. I also add the bcaa's post workout, 10 grams.

Isnt it funny about the cherry juice? Remember what I thought about organic fruit juices in and around the workout?
