Oso's Log

[Tblock1]

you are my focus not oso

i already do more chins than you bwahahaha

next up is bench and i still gotta do this grip thing i always forget lol. what about 1 arm rows do u ever do those?

Lol wait you do 15 chinups? I can do 14 pullups and probably like 16 or so chinups.... On my log when you see pullups I am following a routine so only the first day of the week is my maxes, the other days are really low. I am following this:
Recon Ron Pullup Program

Except instead of doing 5 sets of each column 5 days a week I am only doing 1 set a day, ie this week will be 14, 10, 8, 8. I didn't think I was going to see much progress on such a low volume routine but I am actually, and i didn't want to be doing 40+ pullups a day for fear of overtraining. On db rows, no I don't do them I find barbell rows enough.

oh shit, i saw in your log once that you did 7 chins and i did 9 last workout lol, and im talking overhand btw not underhand

i do both barbelll and dumbell rows, you should give 1 arm dumbell rows a try sometime

Comments: Well damn, everything is starting to feel really heavy. These all felt like 3 rep maxes. Looks like I'll be switching to my 5x1 pretty soon. I also decided not to do a 5x10 after my 5x1 which I was looking forward to. After my 5x1 I'm going to cut on a 5x5 cycle and ramp up slowly. I'm hoping to get down to 6-8% bf at least.

Honesly bro I think you should Do the 5x10 before cutting it would be a massive change of pace especially of u did some thing like warmed up then the same weight for all 5 sets of 10 instead of ramping up so only really the last set was near failure as u ha gotten tired from the last 4. This change should (hopefully) cause a decent amount of hypertrophy and then u would look even better at 6-8%! if it's the fact u wanna get cut for summo and wouldn't have time to do a 5x1, 5x10 AND a cutting phase you could always skip the 5x1 phase but then again we can't be sure the 5x10 would be that good so it may be a bit of a risk...

Damn that was a bitch to type from my iPod...

I agree I think you should get the hypertrophy going then cut, but why do you not want to do the 5x10?

 

[oso0960]

lol if it wasn't for you two I wouldn't be rethinking myself. EM, it's not so much of a time limit, it's just the fact that I'm really anxious to cut. I don't know what I'm going to do yet. The original plan does seem like it would be ideal..

 

[the.gladiator1987]

if you wanna cut def do the 5x5. I would also add in cardio and complexes, maybe a fat burner and steroids as well haha jk about steroids.

imo i think the 5x10 would be great for you because you just spent so much time on a strength program and once again i think switching from strength to size is the best way to keep overall gains. It has worked for me, so thats just my opinion. Think about what you really want, when you want it, but remember there is no rush. Then again ive never had to cut so i would probably be stuck between the 2 as well LOL. Whatever you do keep the log updated im excited to see what you do
