Lots of volume indeed!
ReplyDeleteSorry if I missed it, but are you still dieting down?
Not really "dieting" but I have gone back to the lift run bang diet and I've REALLY leaned up over the last few weeks with it. Was feeling sloppy.
DeleteDude, if your weight is increasing but you're leaning up, what's the problem? You've been doing some higher rep stuff lately, so could it be hypertrophy? Consider that it's proportional....5 pounds @ 150 is different than 5 pounds @ 240. Also, are you weighing at the same time of day (Best after waking, no food, and after piss/shit?). Not an insult to your knowledge/experience, just troubleshooting.
ReplyDeleteOh def no problem other than having to cut weight for the meet, which I don't do. But will have to this time.
DeleteI generally weigh myself before I train. Same time each evening.
hey paul a ? about your sll, what percentage of your max is pulling,squatting or pressing at maintenance levels?
ReplyDeletePretty low actually. After all this time I can mainly go by feel but generally for bench I don't venture much above 385 (sometimes 405), 500 for squat and 605 for pulls. If that tells you anything.
Deletewait paul i was talking about myself for maintenance levels, 315,205,365. if those were my maxes what would be the maintenance levels to lift from.
DeleteSomething in the 85% range.
Deletethanks paul i appreciate it man
DeleteSo, you're trying for the 242's this time? I'm about 3 weeks out and am weighing 235 or so. I decided to try and lift in the 220's this time by cutting water weight and then replenishing after weigh ins to get my weight back up. i experimented with it this week and by yesterday was where i needed to be. i reloaded last night and gained 12lbs back in like 3 hours. but I FEEL LIKE SHIT!!!! this morning i feel like a fucking truck hit me last night! I'm not doing it. screw it im staying in the 242's!
ReplyDeleteWhat shoes are you using these days for squats? I've been experimenting with putting plates of different heights under my heels during heavy squat sets, but it always feels like shit to me. Still using my same old Sambas.
