Happy Belated Brother, sounds about right with the change up in foods causing a lil stomach disruption.
Way to almost puke, and rally!
No way to back out when some big fugger comes with the fist bump and says something cool like "Take it for a ride!" I mean you have got to, even if you spew during the attempt!!!

Many thanks gents! was a great weekend. Had a date with the wife down to the aquarium, got some lifting AND a little fornite and batting cages in with my boy, and one last great weather weekend here in the PNW to enjoy, get the lawn cut, etc.
haha, right? It's not that 375 x 5 was some monster set for me or anything but getting that little extra push from a stranger definitely helped get the job done that day.

I find it interesting that yesterday I threw down a couple extra 10 minute walks randomly during little breaks at work, put in 30 minutes of cardio, ran a mile, and still ended up at only 9,500 steps.
10k steps might be sorta arbitrary but it definitely has proven to be a reasonable marker for me.
Weighed in at a fasted 187 today so we'll see where we go from here.
thanks dude!

@Hyde I thought I'd move the discussion in my thread and not clutters yours:
I pulled a Cube Predator spreadsheet and insert some test numbers. (I don't know 1rm for incline or CGBP so I was guessing). Below is just a sample screen shot from week 1, heavy day 1.
Do you have advice on mitigating fatigue in regards to maintaining squats/bench if I throw myself 110% into a bench cycle like this?
maybe something like this?
Day 1 - light bench
day 2 - squats
day 3 - rest/liss
day 4 - heavy bench
day 5 - pulls & squats
day 6 - rest
etc? My bench has held phenomenally well I think on this cut being at a 295 this weekend with my 300lb being all time best. so I'm looking at the rest of the year, etc and thinking about where I could potentially shift gears into a 6 week bench focus without necessarily COMPLETELY sacrificing squats/pulls.

Looks like you are getting bit by the strength bug again. I honestly don't think you are at a point you really need to do a bench focus to see the gains you want to see. I personally would not let my quads or squats get any further behind and focus on getting them up for a while if PL training is something you want to pursue. If benching sounds awesome then do a squat and bench focus and limit DL a bit. You can probably maintain your dead lifts with 2 hard sessions a month as long as you are working on building the squat at the same time. Other than that, choose a PL specific program you want to follow and give it some hell.

The Predator template was designed to be run with the regular Cube rotation going on for squats and deadlifts - Brandon didn’t stop training his lower body seriously; that was simply something I did.
I think this is a perfect time to commit to Hi Bar work on squat. If you do that, it shouldn’t impact your shoulders any, plus the amount of food you will be eating will make this a great time to drive your leg growth in tandem. Think about this as an opportunity to get more jacked all around, upper and lower.

it's lingering there. When I come back and test my bench and find it holding on pretty well, it does make me want to push it again to new levels.... 315 is quite the siren for me right now, lol.
Totally agree. I think my off the cuff thinking was volume bench, volume squats, and light weight deads just for ROM practice.
OK so here's where I am. weighed in at 187 today. Arbitrary goal was 185 by end of month, so I'd have to be retarded to not hit that goal. When I benched 295 this weekend in a "for fun" session with my boy at ~190lbs it got my brain wondering if I could hit 315 at 190 in 2025. I mean 295lbs at 188-190lbs feels to me as great as my 300lbs at 200lbs bodyweight.
Oct 30-Nov 3rd I have a family engagement with my step kids and son and wife. I expect no good lifting.
Then, aside from a brief surgery for my wife Nov 7th, I am home and able to focus until January 29th. That's 15 weeks.
I have thought about finishing my cutting goal at 180lbs. Then switching gears to focus on that 3-wheeled bench. Here's what I know short term:
a. I don't want to weigh 200lbs+Jan 29th when I travel. I'm just not as comfortable at that weight. When I get home I'd be more open to a short bulk.
b. I have not been good at energy mitigation when training all three lifts.
c. a 315 bench is more important to me than a 405 squat, but I'm really finally enjoying squats. and I would like to keep focusing on them secondary to bench.
d. my lingering concern is losing my deads entirely. over training everything, or simply gaining an uncomfortable amount of fat.
So yeah, I'd like to see this cut through to the finish line, focus on bench, then squats, and TRY to preserve deads.

I popped some numbers into the cube spreadsheet and printed out day 1 just to see what it felt like to use someone elses formula today. I gotta be honest is was hard as fuk for a light day. I was shocked but it was so nice to turn off my brain and just do what I'm told.
areas of confusion for me:
incline DB called out 90, 100, 110, and 130lbs. I assume that's total weight, so I did for example 2 x 45s instead of 90s. I mean a 130lb db would be a PR for me.
skull crusher called out 80s. I tend to do these with an ez bar because my elbows aren't great with db standing skull crushers, so I ran an 80lb ez bar.
seated arnolds called out 50lbs, so IDK if I should have done single arm with 50lb db, but I ran 2 x 25lb dbs and it felt like a great finisher to be honest. same with flies, no weight was listed, so I kept the 25lbs.
I didnt' have time for rwos, but 4 x 10 x 225lbs sounds heavy as fuk ??? Maybe on smith machine. IDK if I have ever done more than sets of like 8 at 225lbs barbell rows?

Lol you found out that Light Day just means the primary Bench absolute load is lesser than the Heavy Day…but it’s actually the Volume Day! AKA you should be eating the most food of your entire week the day prior to & on this day, because you stand to realize the greatest overall hypertrophy stimulus of your training week.
I think if you do this program while actually cutting you are asking for an injury. I’m not saying you need to try to push the scale up, but you should really target a modest surplus of 3-400 calories at least to try to recover sufficiently & make the work worthwhile.
I don’t know what calculator you’re using, but all of the accessories are really just bodybuilding rep scheme based. Pick the weight that lets you hit the target reps listed near failure, and try to generally progress that whenever it seems doable. Only the primary bench/variants have suggested %.

Yeah Klokov destroyed me, lol. 531 was always good for two cycles, third would smash me. What really got me on this one I think was AMRAP > AMRAP > AMRAP > AMRAP. Doing that, with time constraints felt like doing four mini wods, lol.
By the time I got to the end with the light accessory work it was so nice to have light weight 4 x 12s lol
I'm totally onboard with you and @Hyde in regards to not being in a deficit. That is still part of my planning, trying to set up nutrition to be adequate, and only as excessive as needed.
I only ran this today because it was close enough to what I was going to do already but with some intention and let me get a feel for it. Honestly it was a lot of fun!
I feel like I'm starting to develop a plan and direction. Feeling optimistic.
I'm also all ears if y'all have another program that would help me gear up better for a big bench push.
I was thinking about setting a goal of starting around Thanksgiving just because it lets me cut a few more weeks then shift gears for 6 weeks, then clean up diet in January, then shift gears back in Feb.
Dustin07
Legend
I'll grab the link for you tomorrow, it left a lot of questions for me. I just ran it as it was presented but I did base it on a 300lb max despite 295 being my local high. I also was not sure if I was supposed to calculate on a true max or a training max like wendler did, so it's possible my numbers are based on anywhere from 5-30lbs too much.
Although this calculator has me attempting 303lbs+ on week six so I'm guessing it's based on true 1RM
Hyde
Legend
Specifically in the context of this program, because it is so short & focused, I have found you want to set the max more or less as the realistic weight you plan to hit. I believe I set everything at 400 to prepare for 405, for the sake of letting me do all the weights mentally (80% is just 80x4=320, for example).
So you probably do want to set everything at 300, because you’re probably good for it right now and it’s going to offer the same perfect percentage math as well as proximity to a PR weight range.
Dustin07
Legend
That makes sense to me. Unless I hear other advice over the next couple weeks I'll pretty much cruise, enjoy BB style volume, work on quads and squat form/ROM then switch gears once I drop a few more lbs and give this program a full college try effort.

Tbh, this sounds a lot like my plan, just with much less total poundage than you.
I know you're in my log, but just to recap where I landed similarly:
1. Cut to desired weight (~166 for me).
2. Maintenance at that weight (did 3 week, just to ensure it was keepable.
3. Renewed bench focus over next 3 months or so, with slight bodyweight increase to support driving strength/leverage (170ish target for me)
4. Bench program that hits twice/wk: 1 traditional heavy day, one accessory lighter Bench day
5. Relative maintenance or deprioritization of other compound lifts as balance (squats/deads, no specific goal/PR chase)
All this to say, definitely will be closely monitoring what you aim for / how you program it, because I'm always learning on this journey too.

Weight was a surprising 184 today (new low on this cut) despite a sodium rich ground beef taco salad feed last night and an evening snack of cottage cheese, nuts, and sandwich thins.
Weight belt was easily on hole 4 so yeah, that's my "skinny" hole usually reserved for weights below 176 or so.
485 felt great. Best being 500. I just wanted heavy weight in my hands so, rack pulls. Considered a 505-510 PR attempt but 485 was enough strain.
Threw in an extra 160g of carbs via rice this morning at breakfast to carb load/slow the cut a little bit.

The less carbs you eat, the more sodium you should probably have (relative to the range that works well for you).
I do not understand why you seem to think salt is bad. Especially in a deficit with less carbs, they become more important to stay hydrated when less carbs are able to carry water into the muscles.

I don't think it's bad at all, I expected water retention from a sodium rich meal and waking up a pound lighter after a Weds night meal that normally leaves me +3lbs was weird! Lol
We actually pretty consciously add salt to both water and food in our house because we know that most the food we consume doesn't have a lot of it naturally. We keep a gallon of basically salt water in the fridge 24/7....

sooo good. last night I definitely made up for the weight loss. Wife has been asking for some sort of soup for a while and yesterday we had a weird day with a cancer screening for her (clean bill of health) and my gym session was sorta inbetween trips around drs, so she spent the second half of the day putting together some stew and I did indeed find those missing 3lbs last night, weighing in at 187 this morning
On another note, not to throw her under the bus, but bro talk here:
She texted me Tuesday that she felt like it was a soup night. I was like.. OK. Usually that means she wants to make soup. I have no idea how she's going to make soup last minute, and my appetite has been low since dropping gear cream so I'm patient to see what she wants to do for dinner. She gets home angry that I haven't started anything. What should I have started? "I don't know brussels and tilapia, like normal??"
But you said you wanted soup. "yeah but you could have started up some fish and veggies or something".
So soup means tilapia?
Long story short I ended up making an egg white omlette, I'm not sure what she had
I've been married like 20 of my 24 adult years and I still don't speak the language.

My wife is chatty when in a good mood too, but like Hammer said, when quiet…the calm before the storm.Ahaha so much truth to all that. Lately my catch phrase has been "and that's why we die younger"

Body feeling a bit beat up, didn't think I'd take squats that high today but they felt awesome. Probably had 10 x 275 in me today. But that was it, lol.
Gym was insanely busy. Lesson learned, the earlier morning crowd is thick!
Definitely feels like body is adapting to high bar very fast.

Agreed, when the wife is in the mood for chit chat even if I am not I will ride it out and let her be happy. Plus if I engage properly those chatty moments can lead to other much more fun moments!Ahaha so much truth to all that. Lately my catch phrase has been "and that's why we die younger"
It's funny even AI doesn't try to give you the real meaning of fine, but tries to guide you through what a woman means when she says it.

LOL so true. I noticed it a while back when I got home from a biz trip and she was super chatty, then when I had dinner with my mom after she had been travelling and was super chatty. at that point the light bulb (finally, 41 years later) went off in my head and realized this is a good thing.
