Back at it

So having competed in November and put 5kg on my personal best, training fell by the wayside with work and other commitments. Besides that I also felt done out from everything. Having a break helped. I caught up with lots of friends, focused on work and now I feel rested and ready to train hard and heavy again.

I had started into some training back at the end of January and I've slowly just increased the weights raw with plenty of volume. 

I've made out a training template based on the Cube Method, but I won't be sticking to the prescribed %s. Instead everything will go very much off what I feel I need. Training days have switched due to commitments of training partners so we are figuring out a schedule which will suit everyone.

Basic template will be

Mon - Bench

Wed - Pull

Fri - Squat

Sat - Accessory

Bench will be programmed by my friend Mike and deadlifts and squats will move through a Cube style rep-DE-ME rotation. Equipment wise for squatting - rep day will be raw, DE will be briefs, ME will be briefs/briefs+suit. There will be less band tension and more straight weight and chains

First night back in the shirt on Tuesday. Bear in mind I haven't benched over 100kg in months

Bench to 2 board worked up to 220kg x3

Raw 2 board worked up to 160kg x5

Flat dumbbell bench 40kg 2x8

Rear delt raises 5kg dbs x15

Superset with

Triceps rope pull downs x15

I think that was everything off the top of my head. Next comp I'm planning for BPC British in July. I'd love to do Bodypower but I wouldn't be ready for it

Thanks for reading
