In my recovery from a torn oblique, I have reduced in strength in many movements.
This log will detail the initial steps in my return to former, higher 1RMs. And for this leg of the journey, I will be aided by:
About T-Force:
Whopping doses of lab tested, certified Fadogia Agrestis. A simple, straight-forward approach to herbal testosterone boosting - take an ingredient that works and megadose it. At 500mg per cap and recommended daily dose of 3-4caps, this stuff is unique. However, in honesty, I am not too familiar with this particular herb, and look forward to seeing just what effects it has on me.
I will be starting with 3caps/day and ramp that up if and when I see fit.
Current Primary Goals:
Increase My Squat: A Previous PR was 400x3. This past week, I did 315x3. I've got a ways to go.
Increase My Seated Military: This is a lift I have never focused on, but one that definitely needs improvement. I would like to hit 200 for a set of 3-6 within the next 6 weeks.
Current Secondary Goals:
Regain Grip and Core Strength: When you can't do any heavy pulling or pushing for 2 and 1/2months, your abs and hands get weak. My deadlift is suffering right now simply because I can't hold onto the bar. I refuse to use straps - instead I will be taking measures to improve my grip, such as fat-bar and towel movements, farmer's walks, etc. Core strength will return as I continue to squat and dead and perform other standing movement requiring much stabilization, but I will also be working my abs on recovery as a little extra help.
Current Stats:
Weight: 240
BF: ~10%
Squat: 315x3
Deadlift: 430x3
Bench: 345x3
Lifting Schedule:
I will be performing 4 full body workout each week, each consisting of 3-4 compound lifts and 3-4 isolation movements. I tend to prefer high sets rather than high reps, but I am incorporating a good balance of both.
Diet:
Calorie and Macronutrient Cycling from 2800cals w/70%Fat on recovery days, to a far more balanced 3000-3400cals on lifting days.
Lifting Days I consume 250-300g CHO before and during my workout. Post workout is low CHO. Protein is 400g, Fat ~100g.
I following an intermittent fasting protocol. It is easier and more convenient than the traditional 6 meal day, and has not impeded my strength or fat-loss progress in the past.
Supplementation:
Upon Waking: 1cap T-Force, 400mg 1-Carboxy, 1.5g PLCAR, 2g ALCAR, 500mg VitC
Before Breakfast: 1 Anabolic Pump
Preworkout: 1 T-Force, 1 AP, 10g Leucine, 1scoop Anadraulic State, 3scoops Glycergrow, 60g CHO
Intraworkout: 10g Leucine, 20g Whey Hydrolysate
30min Post: 50g Lipotropic Protein
Before Bed: 1 T-Force, 400mg 1-Carboxy, 3 ZMA
My first workout with this stuff is in about 2hrs
