Yeah man, you know now I'm torn. Was hooked on the lemon lime for about 2 years and switched over to the clear and it's been really convenient just being able to the throw the clear in whatever.

Do both Creatine is cheap enough to have options. Sometimes you feel like a lime, sometimes you don't!
 
Didnt get in my evening workout yesterday as planned. No biggie, had to take my daughter to the dermatologist at 230 and by the time I got home I decided to work on my yard and flower beds. (Happy wife, happy life)!.

Best thing about it is, I feel like I'm I a good place right now with training. I'm not stressing out about when or how or nothing. It's just all falling in place. I can train in the am, if not the evening is available. Now that will change shortly as I will start lining up lawncare in February but try to keep it to just the weekend until daylight savings comes back.

I am feeling really strong right now and my endurance is through the rough. I have to pin point this to food, rest, and no stress.

Training schedule is right how I want it and sunday is gonna be a day I have been waiting and talking about for a long time. It will he a rearrange garage day for new equipment. Almost 85% complete after sunday.

Nice looking chest/bi day!
 
Still killing the volume I see. If you are planning to hit chest twice a week then I would cut volume a bit. You you hit 21 sets here, that is enough for the whole week. If doing twice think 10-12 sets per workout and maybe increase the intensity you are hitting them with instead. Like if the sets of 12 are more warm up sets then cut them out during later exercises and maybe do one or two less movements per workout.

Personally I would look at doing 5-6 sets of your main pressing movement for the day and then 2 more exercises for chest with maybe 2-3 very hard sets each. Say 5-6 sets flat bench, 3 sets machine incline with the last one to failure, and the same with some sort of fly or pec deck. Then the next chest workout do 5-6 sets barbell incline, 3 sets Hex Press with last set to failure or one rep shy, and a different fly movement to failure or one rep shy, or high rep pec focused pull overs. Trust me you push like that and your chest will be toasty and growing quickly.

Said this to him before as well...
Quality > Quantity

I personally feel Kevin would make much faster and better progress hammering out lower volume, better execution and range of motion and focusing on TUT( Time Under TEnsion)

now I have never seen any of his lifts or videos of him lifting. Most people love chasing volume and subpar intensity (Common in most gyms) this may not be the case, but I am uncertain.

How does this look?

Day 1 chest

Flat bench
5x5x5x5x5

Incline machine
10x8x6

Pec dec
10x8x6

Day 2
Incline barbell
5x5x5x5x5

Hex press
10x8x6

Pullovers x failure
 
So on the barbell bench/incline
5x5x5x5x5

75% 80% 85% 90% 95% of max weight?

Then of course I have other exercises I can rotate weekly but make barbell bench/incline a priority on the 2 chest days
 
That looks better, I think you will find your mindset will change as far as intensity knowing you need to get it all in with limited sets. You might go with failure on the pec dec too and maybe higher rep scheme there. Your isolation moves tend to lend themselves to a little higher reps. Also perhaps use a rep range moreso than prescribed reps on the accessory movements. If you stay with the 10-8-6 mindset but did a range of 10-6 then you could push the weight and autoregulate based on strength that day. IE start at a very hard 10 where fatigue makes it hard to hit 10 on the 2nd set then on the 3rd it is even lower due to fatigue.
 
As a way to push intensity try cluster sets on the accessory movements. 3 work sets with a total rep goal using the same weight. So say you set your target 30 reps with 155 on incline machine bench, your first set to one shy of form failure is 12, 9, 7 that is 28 so next time you do the same weight because you didn't hit 30. Then the next week you do 13, 10, 7, that is 30 so you go up 10lbs and maybe the following week you get 26-27 and repeat it until you get 30 that makes sure you are continuing to follow the progressive overload principle. This will ensure you progress and grow.

Think maybe 35-45 rep target on flyes and things like a pull over. 25-35 compound movements.

Very basic application of the principles and very effective.

Got it, this needs to be done for chest, shoulders, back, and lower body?

Yes Sir, you can do a little more on hams, and quads for lower if you treat them separately or for the accessories. Like 1 major thigh then 2 for quad 2 for hams or separate them by every other workout with a major compound being the focus for each lower body.
 
By that I mean say Quad day High bar Squats, Front Squats, Leg Extension,
Ham day Squats or Deads, Lunges, Leg Curls

If together then Low Bar Squats , Bulgarian Split Squats, Leg Curl, Calves

High Bar Squats , Romanian DL or Stiff Leg DL, and Leg Extensions, calves

With how much carryover shoulders get during chest and pressing movements I feel you don’t need as much volume
especially on someone like you who is very shoulder and trap dominant from your pictures

you would be better off super compensating on your other body parts

now I’ve never seen your legs are back when flexing but I have a feeling these areas could make
You more symmetrical compared to What we normally see out of you.

that’s just my take but again it’s hard to really pinpoint anything without seeing the full picture, lifting videos and how intense your sessions are. For all we know you could be training at an RPE of 6-7 on a lot of these movements with plenty of reps left in the tank and how you devote intensity and volume on your programming it’s a double edge sword.

Personally, if I have a strength I would focus on giving more volume and attention to other body parts. For example, my legs are my best body part, so I only train them 1x a week because I know my whole upper body is not as strong as my bottom. In the end it is really a personal preference, but I would rather someone have balance and be symmetrical then have a dominant upper or lower.

Off day from training as of now. I still have the option to lift this evening. Just depends on how I feel around 2pm this evening. I can go home and chill, or crank it up and do lower body. Either way I'm on schedule, if not this evening I can do lower body tomorrow morning.

Right now I'm trying to plan a max on bench press Saturday morning. I will have my oldest son as a spot.

Not really sure what to expect, it's been years since I went for a 1 rep max. I'm thinking after a warmup I may start with 285 and go from there. Might even try to get a video for you all.

No point in going for 1RM
I rather see you work on building up your 3RM, 5RM, or a 10RM over your mesocycle and trying to beat the logbook building up your max %'s over the weeks with RPE . Maybe RPE 6 week 1, RPE 7 week 2, RPE 8 Week 3 etc..

less chance of injury and better focus on longevity.
Plus no point trying to put any of your joints and health at risk if the lift goes incorrect. A lot of bad things and injuries can happen.

Don't hurt yourself! I would use a calculator instead of shooting a testicle across the room or something! LOL
Take a 3-5 rep max guess and see how many reps you get. there are 1RM calculators.
still want a spot, especially if you use collars.
