Needed that workout BAD
That nSuns volume had finally caught up with me leading me down the the dark path of @Gully Bull. No pure injuries but a whole bunch of kinks in the armor. Took a step back dropped all volume and weight for a bit and finally feeling it again.
Before my workout I look at my girl like “damn I ain’t never not want to go to the gym like I do right now”
Got there started off with some Pendlays working my way up to 205x5. Said fukk it I’m feeling good, switched to some dead’s in my favorite way (plates looking like a mess, 3 25’s, a 45, 25, 55, ect all randomly placed looking like a raindbow)
After struggling to replicate that 405 pull for months my dumbass finally switched my mix grip to have my stronger hand the over hand ( que quagmire gif) and that 445 went up pretty damn easy.
Not sure what ima do next in terms of programming, life has gotten busy and we back in the office a lot….
EDIT: idk which goals I want to prioritize, would like to loose an some weight (I wouldn’t consider wanting to loose ~10 pounds over the course of 5 months a cut tho). I’m always with the strength increases though.
What really fukks it up is not knowing if I’ll be in the office 5 days one week and no days the following week.
Good shyt, but we still doing mix grip outchea?

Yea, I've been told just lift to get stronger, all that other stuff will sort itself out (aesthetics) as you drop body fat.
Main thing is to have good, strong muscles. And that comes with lifting heavy and progressive overload.
Side note, someone at our gym has stolen all the 2.5lb plates
Makes it’s tougher to go up in weights on your bench. I may just buy my own plates and bring to the gym (5lbs, 2.5lbs and some 1.25lbs)

I always bring my own 1.25's. Used to bring some 2.5's too.

I been doing hook for Pendlay + deadlift up until ~300 range and then i usually bytch out
Btw, 1000% awesome run three days in a row? Not optimal or recommend but is it a hard no? Trying not to think of programs to fit where I’m at right now.

You shouldn't be running any Wendler template three days in a row. You know this, maaan.
That's weird, I usually don't hook under 3 plates on deads (double overs) and don't hook at all on Pendlays.

I hook lighter stuff so I get used to it. Also I figured but for the foreseeable future will only be able to hit a Friday night + weekends on a consistent basis; any recommendations then?

You could run a Push/Pull/Legs template once a week (Legs Fri, Push Sat, Pull Sun) but that would also be suboptimal.
(shyt had me
as I typed it out).My recommendation, especially if your work shyt ain't permanent, is to take a small L and cut one to two hours of sleep and run a normal On-off-On-off-On schedule for the template. Unless you're pulling 24 hour shifts, I'm assuming you'd be cut loose to go home, right?
You could even go Friday night, Sunday, and take the sleep hit on Tuesday.
There's no way with an appropriate TM you'd be recovered enough to squat/dead/squat three days in a row.
(Let's also not discount the fact that those four consecutive off days might be enough for you to start detraining.
)Jim also has two day/week templates you could look into. Not great for strength or hypertrophy gains, but it's still better than nothing and at least designed for folks that can't train more than twice per week.

fukk it - PPL three times a week or more nSuns minus the volume bench day
.Job has wild variability and no consistency. One week office all week next week none. On the days we in the office it’s either get to my train 6:30am & get back home at 7 or 11, or anywhere in between.
No problems hittin the gym at night but might have to accept I gotta hit the Tuesday day powda deficient
Edit: would rep but gotta hit other peoples rep before I get you

- nSuns at less than 5 days (should be running 6 day squat or deadlift).
- Keep in mind you will eventually hit a wall on nSuns while PPL can be ran indefinitely.
- nSuns is great but it is not PL (or Big 3) specific, while PPL can be tailored more to that.
- Prolly progress faster on nSuns unless you matched the volume on PPL.
I used to get up and hit the nSuns, PPL, Bulgarian, whatever at 2, 2:30 AM. Where there's a Whey, there's a will.

The path of @Gully Bull starts at the three year mark with minimal rest, no deloads, red lining and high volume
