Training for Next Two Weeks

Posted by admin on March 31st, 2009 at 08:51am

I have just finished up a long diet phase where I got my weight down to 183.2 pounds.  I am not satisfied with my bodyfat and will begine a shorter diet phase in 6 weeks.  For the next 6 weeks, the plan is to maintain where I am and potentially gain some muscle while losing fat.  In order to do that my training will change a bit.

The training will largely be similiar to what I have been doing, in that I will still have one day dedicated to the Push Press, Bench Press, Squat, and Trap Bar Deadlift.  Those lifts will be periodized utilizing the 5/3/1 rep scheme.  The major change will be in the form of assistance work.  On Upper body days, I will pick 2 or 3 movements and perform them rest pause.  On lower body days, I will be trying to get stronger in the posterior chain (glutes and hamstrings, mainly). 

I am going to be playing the next two weeks by ear and will have a more detailed plan after my planned deload coming up.
