Is there any significance for using 67.5%? Looks like you are regulating intensity with number of sets and mode of exercise, while keeping weight % and reps per set the same.

High frequency training - 3 primary upper body lifting days (Cg bench, incline, bench press) and 3 primary lower body lifting days (back squat, front squat, podium trap bar deadlifts). The primary lifts will use submaximal loads, the volume of work will be high with controlled rest. The primary goal of this type of work is to get tons of practice with the primary lifts and develop special work capacity. The secondary lifts will be cycle weekly from 15's to 12's to 10's etc.

High stress this week so I didn't push the reps, could have easily push for 12 but didn't want to grind nor see tech breakdown. Thinking about getting into the sport of powerlifting..... Thinking hard.... Wanna see can I smash some records in the 181lbs RAW weight class i want nothing but a belt... My training right now is very casual and laid back until I figure what direction i wanna go.
Having fun right now studying Sheiko work and his lifters..

Re: RB34 Training Journal
One more week - next week will be AMAP.
Breakdown for the next 8 months starting in August.
Hypertrophy: 12 weeks (4 week blocks - 3 loading/1 unloading) EX: Wk 1: 3x15, Wk 2: 3x12 and 3x10, Wk 3: 10-7-5-10-7-5, Wk 4: 2x10 and 2x6
Strength: 12 weeks ( 4 week blocks - 3 loading/ 1 unloading) EX: Wk 1: 3x5, Wk 2: 3x5 and 3x4, Wk 3: 3-2-1-3-2-1, Wk 4: 3x3 Or Wk 1: work up to 5rm (85%), Wk 2: 3rm (92.5%), Wk 3: 1rm (102%), Wk 4: unload
Power: 8 weeks ( 4 week blocks - 3 loading/1 unloading) A program I have had success with in the past - canadian ascending - descending power training from Jean Boutet.
The running in the hypertrophy block will be 20mins of cardiac work as a warmup before the lifting sessions and one day of tempo 200's on Fridays. The strength block will follow the same protocol. The power block weeks 1-4 will have 2 treadmill running sessions and 2 cardiac sessions.. Weeks 5-8 2 low volume sled acceleration sessions, 1 bike tempo and 1 treadmill tempo.
Goals:
Increase lean muscle mass in key sprinting muscles.
Increase maximal strength levels in the squat, bench press, and deadlift.
Increase mobility with daily mobility sessions and therapy weekly.
Maintain general fitness and hrv scores.
Stay within a functional bodyfat %.
