damn... I was looking back at my first couple posts!! I could barely do 250 for 3 reps!! insane!! I have hit up to 275 for 4 when I was fresh.. but 275 x 3 on my last sets. 265 x 5 just yesterday... Damn!
So its been about 6 weeks and I have added 25lbs onto my bench.. Not bad at all... I can probably get 285 x 3 by next week.. I am going to give my self 8 weeks.. In 8 weeks my short term goal will have been 35lbs onto my bench. Pretty damn cool!! Science of overtraining has not room in my body building life style. Obviously I found something that works.
This actually worked better then the 15 rep thing I was doing.. I will try this with my squats and deadlifts as well.. So next compound lift will be deadlifts. Then possibly standing military press. I am going to increase them all.. I got to test this theory out with other lifts.
I was considering the fact that last anabolic cycle I was doing 245 x 7.. But 245 x 7 is a big difference from 265 x 5 especially because I was only doing 10 reps with 135 and then 5 reps with 225 before I did 245 x 7.. Now I am pulling off more reps and then in the end on my last set hitting 20lbs more with 2 less reps mainly due to being tired. I can rep 245 x 10 + Now easy.
Diet for today pretty much the same as everyday:
6. Raisin bran cereal + oatmeal + glass of milk
10. Turkey and salami sandwich on wheat bread + cheese stick + chips
12.45 Chicken + Rice + tomatoes
4:00 apple + peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread + bowl pasta
Coming up
5:45 pasta + cheese stick + bowl of fruit
7:30 Ribs + Rice + Broccoli
9:30 same as last meal
I ran out of cyto gainer so that sucks.. This is actually a tad bit more food then I am use to eating.. normally I eat 6 meals a day now there is 7 due to not having my shakes.. But when I get my shakes I will be adding one in the morning 1 in the evening + Muscle milk pudding snacks in with either my lunch or my snack after lunch.
