Thanks for the input guys.

Kab.. ... yes, hypertrophy is the goal here at this point in time. I've done it before on my last cutting diet. It worked VERY well for me. This time i'm using a structured routine to do it instead of lifting 5 days a week on a M & F type "set up."

The "coalition" isn't opposed to higher reps. The only concern is what BiggT termed "program searching," if that means thinking that there's some magic program out there that's fundamentally different from and better than just sensibly organizing the basic lifts and getting better at them (which could mean keeping poundages the same while cutting/recomping). As long as you continue to think about what you're doing and do it for a reason, rather than looking for something where you can plug in some numbers and mindlessly go through the motions without thinking or using judgment, there's nothing wrong with changing the layout. But, to reiterate, just make sure there's a reason for what you're doing and that you're not using a switch in training style as an excuse for standing still or regressing.

deloading continues.

cutting diet still in effect.

HST begins 3/27/2007


If I have time tonight - Cardio or maybe a light bar complex, same goes for tomorrow night.

Feeling much better finally... over trained and underfeed did not feel pleasant.

Thanks it feels good to get a full nights sleep and not have to resort to any sleeping pills... that'll be another indicator of overtraining for me. lol... when i start popping them.

I'm dealing with not training pretty well this time around, it was very necessary... i'll be itching to hit the weights hard come the end of the week i'm sure. But i'll be busy So that'll keep me occupied.

Stay away from those sleeping pills man.

And on the bright side, if this hst doesn't work out for you, we can always refer to decisions like these as "pulling a Sarge!"

hey, it was be knocked out or be a zombie during the day... i choose "knocked the fawked out." ... only when neccesary obviously. I'm not a pill popper other than my supps... i never take stuff long term, only to get through for the time being like I did.

lol, that's funny.

I think the most important thing i'm learning here is volume and workload management for myself... before I feel like total shit, I need to recognize the signs and take a few days off ... reset weights, ect.
