Someone asked about my training so I will throw in some posts on the subject.

When considering a routine and you find yourself thinking, "That doesn't seem familiar.", that is the thing to do to push past your comfort zone. You know I am keeping form front and center, so this is not a reference to squirming around under the weight or half reps.

Example - Checking out a BPak video where he was talking about doing 4 sets of 8 and each one increasing the weight. I watched the video again like...WTF...then I tried it.

Dumbbell Military Presses, no bounce at the bottom, forearms vertical throughout, squeeze at the top for 20,25,30,35. By the time I was going through this the 3rd time I knew there was something to it. And the impact it had on the rest of my shoulder workout, super full pumps like never before, I knew I had found something new to generalize to other body parts.

Hi Wolfpack, thanx for checking in. Not even a week in yet but focusing on increasing intensity in order to harness the stamina qualities of the GW.

This is gonna be awesome...

Will already be a week in this GW cycle when I hit the gym Monday and my workout designs will really give it a chance to shine. I am transitioning to an all giant set/superset approach, which I did last year to great results ) and a whole new level of excruciatingly painful muscle pumps) so there will be much to report.

Also, I am finishing up a 4 week Anadrol kick start to me cycle so in the coming week I will be able to check in on definition, so stay tuned.....

Following your lead as usual stevesmi. Will be starting with Deadlifts in the morning, heavy while at the same time high intensity. Will report results....

How do you progress from workout to workout?
Or how do you go about altering these workouts? Do you vary rep/set ranges, weight, exercise selection/order and so on...?

Also what is current calorie intake?

Great questions FF. I'll try to touch on some of it here. I'm finishing up a period of time where I did a big compound lift as my first movement of the day. That is, since November I have started with Squats (max at 315lbs for 6), Decline Bench (315lbs), some kind of military press (heavy), or Deadlfts (going for 510lbs this week), followed by a variety of supersets. I train for an hour in the morning and consistently knock out 24+ sets in that time plus core. I'm modeling much of what I do after BPak videos found on youtube with great results, and my focus is always form, time under tension, and hitting every rep range for a muscle in a workout. I keep a little book with me and always write down the target weight for next session. When I stall for 2 sessions in a row I drop out the exercise and bring something else in at low weight/high reps and keep moving. My usual split is Back/Bis, Chest/Tris, Shoulder/Traps, Legs but I also like doind opposing supersets Chest/Back, Bis/Tris, Rear Deltoid/Front Deltoid, Leg extensions/Curls, which is extra challenging in a Giant Set routine. I come out of the gym every day knowing "that was an awesome workout....."

Regarding diet I am determined to research this one a little more, but what has worked for me in the past is eating fewer meals and cutting out starchy carbs almost completely. My definition was good last year so in order to beat that I know I need to take it to another level......

I am guessing that you will notice a huge difference with the high intensity workouts. I really do with them and the cardio is just insane.
