well....this blast is pretty much over. I'm gonna take next week off and recover and start again fresh. I've got alot of changes that I'm thinking of throwing in, some major, some might just be a tweak here or there. First, I'm thinking of going back to the classic 2 way split. this would be set up with bodyparts grouped like this:
chest, shoulders, tri's, back width and back thickness for workout 1
bi's, forearms, calfs, hamstrings and quads for workout 2
I went with the more advanced split I was using for a few reasons, first I wanted to really blast my chest and use the widowmaker on it, it was suggested to me that to get the most out of this I needed to go to the more advaced split. Second, I was doing cardio after training so because of time constraints I just couldn't squeeze it all in using the basic split.
Looking at things in a realistic way, I made alot of good gains doing what I was doing, I really like the higher reps I started to use. Problem is my legs, back, arms and shoulders all got better but my chest stayed the same...maybe it improved a little but not nearly as much as I would have liked.
First thing I'm gonna do is totally revamp my chest workout. When I came up with it I picked 3 classical pressing movements and went from there. Incline, Decline and hammer inclines, sounded good on paper but it's just not getting the job done. I'm gonna start off with dips using the assistance machine and starting with 30 reps rest paused. I'm gonna be a little more aggressive with my weight increases here and I'm gonna try like a mother fucker to keep my reps above 20. I used to love these and I don't know why I moved away from them. 2nd movement is gonna be something I moved away from cause I honestly don't believe it worked the way I was doing it. I'm gonna start doing DB presses again. The change I'm gonna make is hard to explain, instead of classical DB presses I'm gonna really go deep with the stretch, reps will be high to begin with. For both movements I'm gonna pause in the stretched position for a 2 count-1 onethousand, 2 onethousand and explode up. 3rd I'm gonna keep the decline but I'm gonna pile the weight on, instead of 255 for 30RP, I'm gonna bump it right up to 285 and just hammer away at it. I'm gonna up my strech to 90 seconds.
hope that wasn't to boring of a post but I wanted to get it down and make things official.
