Check out my YouTube channel for more weekly content. Things got a little hectic the last few days so I’ve doubled up the workout report to cover days 2 and 3, leg and back focus respectively.

How I Distribute Macros Throughout the Day
In previous videos, I’ve discussed how to determine your actual maintenance calories. Based on what you eat and your change in body weight over time, it is more accurate than any online calculator. From that, you can determine your total daily macronutrient needs. To create a meal plan you need to know how to distribute […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Deload Week, Day 1
Check out my YouTube channel for more weekly content. After 4 hard weeks of accumulation, especially the last one, I am ready for a deload. For the first half of the deload week I’ll be doing the same weight as I used in week 1. I will do 2 sets of half the repetitions I […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 4, Day 5
Be sure to check out my YouTube Channel for weekly updates. Today’s workout finished off the week and based on performance I think it is time to deload. I have definitely hit my MRV (maximum recoverable volume) on chest and I’m pretty close on hamstrings judging by how my Romanian Deadlift felt today. While I suppose it […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 4, Day 4
Be sure to check out my YouTube channel for more weekly content. With the failure to match reps early in the week on bench press and today’s workout that felt much harder, I’m tempted to cut the mesocycle short by 1 week and go into my deload next week. I am conflicted though. Most body parts feel […]

Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 4, Day 2
Be sure to check out my YouTube Channel for weekly updates. Leg day. Ah, leg day. My hips were a little stiff and sore today after all the work in the garden this past weekend. I wasn’t sure how squats were going to go to be honest. I did a couple extra warm-up sets with just the […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 4, Day 1
Be sure to check out my YouTube Channel for weekly updates. I was curious how this workout would go considering all the effort I spent in the garden yesterday. The workout started fine and ended fine, but the middle was interesting. On the first set of bench press (3rd exercise of the day) I failed after 8 […]
How I built my raised garden beds
Or “That’s not much of a rest day.” There is more to a nourishing pursuit than diet and exercise. Health and fitness are an important component, but there is more to life. Another component is taking part in activities that you enjoy and feel passionate about and if those can stimulate your mind, even better. […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 3, Day 5
Be sure to check out my YouTube Channel for weekly updates. The third week of my current mesocycle is complete and things are still going well. Exercises are still getting rated at +1 so I’ll be seeing more volume next week. Even on squats which I confess to being a little nervous about, but my leg is […]
