Tree shaker to tree breaker

[uga24]

What's up y'all? I'm new to posting on the board. Been checking it out for a while. I had been keeping a log on another site that kinda faded away. Life is busy but I get 3 days of lifting in a week, most weeks. I usually get 3 or 4 steady state cardios in a week and usually a day of hill sprints. All of that sounds good but my diet isn't really in check. Just started looking into and implementing Scivation's C.H.A. Diet. I'm just under 15% and it looks like most of it is in the love handles. I'm 29 and been lifting for about 15 years with the last 3 being a lot more focused. I followed Starting Strength, 5/3/1, Greyskull LP, and now Lift Run Bang Getting Jacked template. I weigh right at 225 at 6'01". I'm looking to get stronger and lean up.

Today's workout:

This week is a "light" week for chest/shoulders/tris and legs and heavy for back. I haven't really been doing any rep work prior to starting this program about a month ago and I really like it. It's humbling.

How does this new templete, the lift run bang, work?

[uga24]

It's 3 days of week lifting with Monday being chest/shoulders/tris, Wednesday is legs and Friday is back/bis. One week is heavy chest/shoulders/tris and legs with back being "light" then the next week is "light" chest/shoulders/tris and heavy back. Light is a relative term here as it doesn't mean the weight is light, just that a movement is used that probably cannot be loaded as heavily as the "heavy" day movement. For example I squat on heavy days and front squat on light days. I work up to 3 heavier singles on the main lift of the day and keep the auxiliary/assistance lifts in the 10 to 20 rep range. Last week I just felt like squatting everyday so I worked around that and didn't follow any template. I hope that gives you a little bit of insight into the template. If you have any questions please ask.

[CountryLiftin]

Nice, sounds good to me, that was a good explanation. Sorta of like 5/3/1 w/ different splits and timing obviously but uses the same concepts for weight/ assistance work, rest time etc, just in a different form. Sounds pretty cool.

[uga24]

Yeah actually a lot like 5/3/1. One main lift with progression and some assistance work that compliments that main lift. I appreciate you checking my log out and the interest.

Try taking some time off, or deloading for bench. And also figure out what is causing it.

Solid squats the other day.
