Halfway through the program, next week is deload.
Everything feeling good today. This weight is right around a sweet spot where it's reasonably challenging but still light enough to really focus on technique.
Background activity is lol once more in vid. Guy getting personal "training" This sums up the quality of the trainers in my gym. They're not even free either so the poor guy actually paid for this BS. So cringeworthy.
Yes 16 weeks. Next 3 weeks after deload is strength peak phase or realization I guess however you want to call it. After that intensity tapers back down for the last 4 weeks.
I think it's going k although I find it hard to judge progress without amraps and everything being fairly submaximal. My form has improved a fair bit though imo so that's progress in itself.
Will have to see how everything goes over the coming weeks and after week 16 I'll take measurements and pics again to see how I did hypertrophy wise.
Not sure yet about another cycle, contemplating some different options, like maybe writing something myself, or maybe getting some coaching. It depends a bit on results as well.
Couple of unplanned days off because reasons. Felt great lifting some stuff and getting out of my head. Just picked up where I left off with last day of deload week.
Today a gymbro who I hadn't seen in 2 months told me it looks like I put on some mass over the summer. I had a good pump going so who knows but still cool I guess.
Felt crappy all day because of drinking yesterday downtown. Not used to drinking more than 1 or 2 so when I do it hits me kinda hard. Still decent session with added weight or reps all around.
