bodybuilding for now until end of wrestling season

Gonna brosplit it out during wrestling season and see if I can gain muscle if my carbs and protein are high.  These will just be ideas for now, odds are I'll have to do most of these workouts at home, but they shouldn't take long to finish, which should be a plus..

Principles: bro split, progressive overload, micro drop sets(50% set on lower body compound), low volume high intensity high frequency. Main strength movement and then 1-2 accessories per muscle. Sets of 5-8 on main movements, 6-10 on accessories. Thinking push/pull/legs/off/offObviously if there's a match or something comes up where I'm not home until like 9 then I won't lift or I'll move my rest days around. Try to hit everything but also focus on one specific part of muscle each day. (Ex: SSB squats one leg day RDL/SLDL the next leg day) extremely slow eccentrics 

Hanging Leg raises warmup every day

Chest/shoulders 1:
Seated shoulder press: work up to 1 set 5-8 reps rest pause
Incline Lateral raises: 1 set 6-10 reps + 2 micro drop sets + isometric

10/9 training

Monday: wenning warmup
Squat: warmup to 385x1 385x4 315x4 boxsquat 275x8

I am going to start training at home and do more of a DC split. Since I got sick I feel like I lost all of my momentum and training this heavy at the moment is something I dread because I have a lot of self doubt in hitting the numbers I know I was capable of before I was sick, and being in a caloric deficit doesn't help either.

Thursday, October 6, 2022

10/2 training

Monday: just did squats and that was it. Still a little sick. Warmup to 375x1 375x4.  Was a lot harder than it should have been. I guess we'll see what next week holds for squats.


Thursday: wenning warmup
Paused bench: warmup to 365x1 365x4
Same as Monday. Don't wanna overdo it so I'm gonna call it there lol.  Feel like a bitch but also think I need to recover.

Squat: warmup to 365x1 365x6

I got sick Tuesday night going into Wednesday morning. Butched it up for work that day but then completely crashed until Saturday morning.  Had to skip my bench workout which is annoying because I thought I'd be good for another PR.  Hoping I'll be able to move on and continue the progression up to a max next week.

training for the next 12 weeks

Gonna stick with my volume phase for 3 weeks and go right into a 9 week strength phase. I probably won't wrestle for this next 12 week set.  Deadlift I'm gonna try the mag ort program for deadlift(and maybe give sumo or a slightly wider conventional deadlift a real shot) and stick with what I did for my squat and bench press up until this point.  Squat I am going to use the safety squat bar as my assistance work with the heels elevated like ive been doing.  Bench assistance we will keep wide grip for now.  Squat and mag ort deadlift Mondays, Wednesday is my feel good lower body day with the sled, and Friday will be bench and all my assistance exercises.  Every day I am able to I want to do about a half hour of jump rope too
