Greetings Ironmag members. I haven't kept a consistent journal here in a long time, but I'm going to make another go at it. My main reason for keeping a journal will be to help improve my level of activity on these forums. I feel like if I come here to post these workouts I will be more likely to assist other members and engage in discussions in other sections of the site.
My main goal is always strength with some level of muscle growth being desirable as well. Muscle growth of course leads to increased strength, so it is a means to an end. Looking like a badass is kinda nice too.
I will be using a simliar program to what was seen in my last journal. I'm utilizing undulating periodization. I also will be avoiding failure almost completely and mostly stopping each set when technique, range of motion, or velocity go below acceptable levels.
During heavy weeks the main movements for the day will be performed at about 90-93% intensity. Accessory movements will be performed at about 85%. During moderate weeks the main movements will be at about 85%, and accessory movements will be at about 80%. During light weeks all movements will be around 70-75% of 1RM. I do include isolation accessory/prehab work at lower intensities too.
I have some videos of recent 1RM completions in my signature. Check them out to see where I stand.
