BIGHOUSE's Journal, 30 December 2010

- 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.

1. Flat bench dumbbell press: 100 lbs 16 reps
2. Hammer Strength neutral grip pulldowns: 2-45's each side 18 reps
3. Straightbar incline bench press: 225 lbs 12 reps
4. Lying incline Smith Machine close-grip bentover rows: 185 lbs 12 reps
5. Incline dumbbell press: 80 lbs 18 reps
6. Cable reverse-grip pulldowns: 165 lbs 18 reps
7. Hammer Strength iso lateral flat bench press: 1-45+1-25 each side 18 reps
8. One-arm dumbbell row off knee: 120 lbs 10 reps
9. Machine flys (pec dec) with cupped grip: full stack 200 lbs 12 reps
10. Machine wide-grip pulldowns: 200 lbs 12 reps
11. Incline dumbbell flys: 60 lbs 12 reps
12. Cable seated row with close-grip handle: 180 lbs 12 reps
13. Standing cable flys (set high- three from top): 60 lbs 15 reps
14. Kneeling cable straight-bar pullover (Jay Cutler): 135 lbs 15 reps
15. Kneeling cable flys (set lowest position): 60 lbs 10 reps
16. Kneeling cable wide reverse lat pulls: 45 lbs 12 reps
Beyond shot at this point!

Have you watched all the videos? After watching the leg video, I'm curious about this. ALso thinking about not taking any preworkout supp next week and minimize caffeine intake. Then start out fresh the following week with a new preworkout. Not sure about this yet...

just read the modified Facebook post that was added last week on this approach. Was a good read and might be a nice way to get back in the mix quickly here. I still plan to hit 10-12 exercises per bodypart but was thinking one total exhaustion set with as many reps as I can hit with a fair bit of weight. Then I can do a buffet sampling through the gym on all the tough exercises. I was thinking back would be a great day for this but I will do the hybrid approach with chest/back alternating exercises tonight until both are spent.

Try what I do, drink the preworkout drink through the workout, pace yourself so you finish it towards the end. You feel a nice gradual effect through the workout.
