Thoughts/comments:
Another week in the books! Things are going great. I slowed things down a little bit this week. It was a bit much for my body to gain 4 pounds last week so I eased off on the calories a little bit this week to let my body acclimatize and adjust. I am going to start being more aggressive with my calories again this week and try to bump up my weight again for next week.
I am starting to feel some of the symptoms of over-training. I am feeling tired through out the day and have slightly less aggression in the gym. I am going to keep the volume in my workouts the same for this week and next week do a de-load week. Mentally, this is hard for me to do because I want to keep pushing but I know it’s what my body needs and is asking for. This week I am going to keep everything as is and next week I am going to start a completely new program with lower volume, completely different exercises and a slightly different body part split. My workout split will be as follows:
Day 1: Legs power
Day 2: Shoulders and arms power
Day 3: Back and chest power
Day 4: Cardio abs
Day 5: Legs hypertrophy
Day 6: Shoulders and arms hypertrophy
Day 7: Chest and back hypertrophy
Day 8: Cardio abs
Day 2: Shoulders and arms power
Day 3: Back and chest power
Day 4: Cardio abs
Day 5: Legs hypertrophy
Day 6: Shoulders and arms hypertrophy
Day 7: Chest and back hypertrophy
Day 8: Cardio abs
