Blut Wump - Korte 3x3

[blut wump]

Awesome progress on the volume phase Blut Wump. The new projections seem plausible based on the progress so far (from where I'm sitting anyway). Shame about the bench being so stubborn. It'd be nice if you could get to 142.5, just so you know you're definitely past the 3 plates mental-block you mentioned at the start. The thought of adding on 1.25kg to each side once you've loaded 3 plates just seems silly though

These next four weeks should be fun. Good luck!

Thanks. It's good to hear someone suggest that the numbers look plausible. Every time I look at them, anxiety makes me want to lower them. Having an outside view helps me to believe.

I know what you mean about the 142.5. I was just looking at the bench numbers and I might add 2.5Kg to them. That would, at least, have me equalling my old PR in week7 which will be a big boost for the following week since it will be so easy.

If you're sitting comfortably...

Thanks, coach.

I weighed myself again this morning.

Last Sunday I was a svelte 118.8Kg, today I'm a porcine 121.0Kg. All that hard work dieting just to catch the express to heaviesville. This program is a disaster.

My belt is still loose but, I think, less so than last week.

It has begun...

Seriously though, you're not increasing your cals IIRC, so....?

Actually, I've been eating a fair bit these past few days. Not really so much eating more as just not holding back as much. I need food for recovery and I've decided that my bench problems last Monday were due to lack of sustenance.

I'm also aching just about everywhere today which tells me that the muscles are taking up all these nutrients and asking for more.

The sleep has been hitting too.

Are you going to go for these on Monday after a weekend of rest? And then Wed and Fri are 60% days.

 

[blut wump]

The Intensity Phase has me doing heavy
Deadlift on Monday
Bench on Wednesday
Squat on Friday

'Non-heavy' lifts are done at the 60% weight for 3x3 for Squat and Deadlift and for 5 sets of 4 for Bench.

So, Monday's workout will be:
Squat: 100Kg 3x3
Bench: 90Kg 5 sets of 4
Deadlift: 167.5Kg for 1-2 singles

It'll hardly be worth my while to warm up.

An I see that make more sense to break up all the heavy days and separate dead and squat as much as you can.
