- Thursday Dec 30th
Contemplating a modified 'Dorian Yates' approach through the weekend to get restarted after this extra downtime. This would involve an adequate warmup followed by single, all-out failure sets of various exercises for each bodypart. May consider a chest/back, ham/quad/calve, shoulder/trap, bicep/tricep 4-day combo approach with high volumes of these single sets in order to get a complete body-shocker by Sunday night! Then I will restart on the normal high volume single bodypart scheme.
Calculated calorie intake estimate for 6-day hybrid eating scheme was ~44,000 calories (maybe +/- 5,000 based on over/under estimates). Goal was attained------maximum calorie overload!
**Bonus tonight** Tenn Bowl game starts at 6:40 pm, gym should be empty for a nice 3 hr session.
Postworkout update: The 'HIT PRINCIPLE' approach is straight NASTY! WOW! It kicked my ass and I had the best full pump in maybe the last 8-10 years. I almost went down a few times due to 100% exhaustion! I tried to go very heavy with high reps while alternating chest and back single-set exercises. This is a must if you want total, torturing intensity! I will update the full workout scheme later tonight. And by the way, only 8 sets of chest and 8 sets of back after a few light warmups to get the joints loose, just unreal!
Tonight's workout: I did not use any of the volume blast sets (5-10 sets of 10 reps mixed in randomly with the one-all-out-sets-to-failure). I only used the one-set failure approach tonight and alternated from a chest exercise to a back exercise and vice versa.
