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 […]

Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 3, Day 4
Be sure to check out my YouTube channel for more weekly content. Almost to the end of week 3 and things are still going pretty well. Volume for all body parts is still going up both in terms of sets and reps. Relative and absolute intensity (reps in reserve and weight on the bar) are also becoming […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 3, Day 3
Be sure to check out my YouTube channel for more weekly content. Half-way through week 3 and still feeling pretty good. (Half-way through the accumulation phase too, come to that.) Most exercises are still getting +1 ratings which will keep the volume going up next week. The only one that didn’t get a +1 today […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 3, Day 2
Be sure to check out my YouTube channel for more weekly content. Leg day. Probably my least favorite day. Mainly because I’ve had issues from squatting in the past and squats are first up on leg day. I’ve been taking it easy on increasing the volume and so far things have been going alright. Weight […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 3, Day 1
Be sure to check out my YouTube channel for more weekly content. With the third week of the mesocycle, the relative intensity starts to pick up. There are two types of intensity (at least that I worry about). Absolute intensity is the weight on the bar. Relative intensity is how close to failure you go, […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 2, Day 5
Be sure to check out my YouTube Channel for weekly updates. Today finished the second week of my Hypertrophy 1 mesocycle for my current training program. Everything felt pretty good so I rated all the exercises +1 so sets will increase next week on day 3. I do tweak the program a little so that […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 2, Day 3
The second week of this mesocycle is still going well. No problems meeting the first-set reps from last week even with the 2% increased weight on the bar. For some exercises that I hadn’t done in awhile I’ve increased reps. Total sets today were 15 compared to 11 in the first week. I imagine they […]
Hypertrophy Meso 1, Week 2, Day 1
Starting the second week of my hypertrophy mesocycle. The progression for this program adds about 2% to weight on the bar, where possible, and auto regulates volume based on how I respond to previous workouts. In my view, the volume increases for the focus muscle groups is too fast so I modify things so volume […]
Hypertrophy 1 Meso, Week 1, Day 5
Be sure to check out my YouTube channel for more weekly content. The first week of the new program went pretty well. I experienced DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) for the first time in quite awhile. This is mainly due to how the volume of the new program is divided. It is about the same volume as […]
