3/22/26 - W1D3 Acrobatics and Conditioning v2

-
I remember being a little tired for this session, but it went better than the unlogged 
 trial version of this day I ran a week prior to starting the cycle. On that session I only got 2 reps @ 500 on hip thrust, so im happy to bring my numbers back up. Im happy to have kept so much of my hip thrust strength on this cut.  Press feels weak unfortunately.  I may have to bring it down. 

Squat 3x10
195lbs

Hip thrust 
500lbs x 3
315lbs x 8

Press
130lb x 5

Chinups
3xf (forgot exact reps)

12/6/23 - Leg Calisthenics + Beginning Hungarian Oak Leg Blast

-
Warm-up: BW squat x15 Deep squat jumps 3x3 BSS 1x3e Single Leg Squat off of bench 1x10L (PR) 1x4R (injury from previous session)  Squat 2:00 @ 95lbs (35) Single leg hyperextension (glute focus)  3xFe (10,12,11)  Heels-together widest grip SLDL 3xF @ 95lb (14, 10, 12)  Pistol hip thrust  3xF (7,7,6) I made the decision to incorporate the  Hungarian Oak Leg Blast method  into my training because I love high rep squatting but I'm not in the physical or lifestyle condition to run a classical 20 rep squat routine. Besides, this routine has been in my "backlog" for years! While it's meant for accumulating mass, I'm using it during a cut to help me rebuild my conditioning and help me lean out further. I should be able to lift 95lbs for any amount of reps on any day.... Of course, I don't believe in running cookie cutter routines as written. I'm incorporating the meat of this program into a heavily calisthenics-based routine I've already been running. Assistan...

2/5/24 - FBCT restructured. calisthenics volume training?

Warmup  --- x3 atg tuck jumps x3 Half tuck jumps x3 tuck jumps Handstand practice  x9 bounds Handstand practice  x6 running jumps  Handstand practice --- Awesome! Hand balancing is getting a lot more natural. On my first attempt I managed a very long hold. Maybe 15-20 seconds.  Bench Press + Pseudo Planche Pushup  3x5 @ 160 + (6,5,3) This agonistic superset combo was surprising tough. I'm enjoying the Olympic barbell over the fat bar. Setup is much more consistent.  Floating Barbell Row + wide Inverted row 3x5 @ 135 + (7,6,5) This felt easier than the bench/pushup combo. Pre-fatigue from the barbell made my calisthenics rows lose reps. Not a surprise.  100 rep marathon --- Single Leg Squat   (10,8,5,7,6)e - 36e Bulgarian Split Squat  (12,10,10,9,8)e - 49e Atg step-up 15e --- THIS was the fun part of my session that I planned everything around. My quads and glutes were sore for days after (I'm posting this late).   Superset...

4/1/24 _______ Double arm, single leg dumbell deadlift. 6x3, 4x2 w/ 75lb dbs This was inspired by Jamie Lewis's heavy 10x3 method. Honestly my balance wasn't good enough to handle the weights I picked so my reps didn't look good. After the halfway point I couldn't get sets of 3 that were satisfactory so I continued with doubles. Despite wobbly form, it was a great stimulus.  Shiko (12, 10, 8, 10, 8)a The heavy work made these feel reaaaaaally good.  I've once heard shiko described as "moving meditation" and I certainly agree!  ________ 4/3/24 ________ Single leg squat  5x1e @ +55lb (14, 10, 7) @BW I gave an honest attempt at Jamie Lewis's method of doing 15x1 at 3rm. My form was beginning to break down and I could seriously feel the muscles in my legs straining. It felt unsafe to proceed after 5 singles. Up to that point they felt very productive. I did rep work at bodyweight. My body felt nice and primed from the singles, but my fast twitch fibers mus...
