Starting First Cycle Test Only

I will definetly look into dorians style of training. Also never heard of sea salt giving you a pump? Thats crazy

SO are you doing HS because it isolates more? or because you can change the weight quickly?

You do some isolation but that was what his system had evolved into after a number of years. High intensity... Well I will let you see for yourself-

YouTube - Dorian Yates - Part 1
That is the whole blood and guts video on youtube part one.

His was into basics. What makes a muscle grow? Making it do something it has never done before.. So he had a number of movements per bodypart and only does one all out maximum set past failure with a lot of forced reps, forced negatives drop sets ect. If you train with MAXIMUM intensity you will not need any more than one set per exercise trust me.. If you are not feeling it the next day you are not pouring enough into each set.

For me it seems to work because I overtrain quickly with too much volume. I grow fast from this form of HIT. It is a good way to manage training volume. I will post pics soon and you will see the results. My weight is about the same maybe one or two pounds more but I look a lot bigger.

Good deal man. I dont wanna overtrain thats for sure. If I am getting stronger every workout im not overtraining yet right?

Looks like high intensity is the way to go

If you are getting stronger you are not overtraining.

Ok so tonights workout-

Well I had a pretty hard day at work so my energy was a little low.

First was bench
325 x 5, drop to 275, drop to 225 no rest between and max reps. I wanted my bench to be at least 6 or 7 reps with 325 but I think my tris are still a little beat.

Next was hammer strength incline
another triple drop set
3 plates, 2 plates, 1 plate

Now for bis

Dumbbell curl on incline bench

55's strict on incline bench and a drop to 30's for a crazy number of reps. Really blasted those fuckers. I need to go heavier next time though.


Next was barbell curls
115 with a drop to 95 pounds

I only did two exercises for each today but I really had the intensity cranked up. Was a great workout. Post workout eating-

75 grams protein with a few brownies and creatine

then chicken fried steak with corn and potatoes and 3 cups milk. Also 2 large flour torias with about four ounces cheddar cheese.

A nice amount of fuel for the muscles.

Pics will be up soon, maybe tomorrow. I think my back is still gettin bigger. My arms should be getting bigger too because now I am isolating them.

 

[cy23]

I set a new short term goal for myself for my bench and that is to do about five reps with 365 pounds on my first set. I expected it to be higher this week but shit happens. Maybe I will add an extra rest day in between shoulders and tris and chest. I only got two days rest so maybe I need three. I could switch legs and chest. That would be better I think.

Busy as fuck at work... Will post updates soon. I work for a shipping company so there is a lot of lifting involved and I will have to modify my workouts due to the amount of volume we are receiving due to holiday season coming up/

Good Lifting
