So I've hit, "That week."
The one where, on the heavy day of week three, you know you're actually pushing your 10 RM for Every. Single. Exercise.
Next week should be interesting. :sick:

I'm there buddy!
Week 3 Heavy crushed me into the ground this morning. With the baby coming in a few weeks and all, I'm seriously considering making this my last cycle.
I'll be sad to go, but realistically I think that unless I start bulking again, I'm going to crash and burn and I'm not down to the bf% I want to be at yet, so a bulk's not going to happen.
But, yeah, next week is actually going to kill me.0 -
Yeah, I'm no where near my LBM target (well... closer than I was, but still a ways off) so I know I'll be repeating a lot of exercises for a lot of cycles while I'm still at a deficit.
You might consider going to two heavy days a week every three or four days, just to keep things up & not lose ground.0 -
You guys are scaring me :laugh: I just did my Week 1 Heavy day for cycle 2 this morning....
And jimmmer congrats on the little bubba :flowerforyou:0 -
I did my Cycle2Week1Heavy day today. Because of the dumbell math I had to go 20% more, rather than 10% - it was do-able but just about - and since my back was just about back to normal this week I I was relieved it was only 8 reps for some of the exercises. I was hoping the low reps would compensate the increased weight - but it sort of evened out! So I wonder what Week5 is going to look like, heh!0

Yeah, I had to go up from 15-->20 pounds for my shoulder presses and upright rows this morning since I use dumbbells. I got through the first sets of each exercise okay but then struggled just a touch on the last few reps of my second set. The next couple of weeks will definitely be interesting :laugh:
paprad I think you and I are 'All Pro Twins' same cycle and weeks...it's nice to have a "partner" :flowerforyou:0 -
:flowerforyou: yay, we can compare woes in week5!paprad I think you and I are 'All Pro Twins' same cycle and weeks...it's nice to have a "partner" :flowerforyou:
Lighter weight twin, though. (dumbbell, I mean, not body :laugh: )
my weights are going to be quite low for the next year, but I figured I've gone up 50% since May and 20% since June, so that's progress all right! by the power of compounding, if I keep doing that, I'd be a powerlifter one day, haha (highly unlikely, I know it will steadily drop to 10% in 4 cycles and then stay there when I outgrow my dumbbells)
Those who took a few days off here and there (i read about that in some other thread) - do you then just go back to where you left off and then some other weekday becomes the Heavy day for a while? I feel some OCD-ish compulsion to have Monday as Heavy Day, no matter what, heh0 -

*pats your back*
Oh dear :laugh:
I often find that D1W3 is the most brutal of the entire cycle, and week 4 feels much better. Maybe that will be the case for you? :flowerforyou:0 -
From the title of this thread I was expecting a somewhat different subject :laugh:0
