FF's AGVT Log

Well the progressive load bit makes sense yes, I've just always been told (on here as I don't log on anywhere else) lower reps = strength, higher reps = size, then people started adding more sets in.

Makes sense in a way, I just don't know the underlying fundamentals I guess for how things work.

Looking forward to the log FF
 
This looks disgusting, I am glad I am not you FF :p, especially considering how much the volume work that I am doing is raping me. You sir, are a machine :).
 
IN :D

I will be keeping a close eye on this thread, I've never tried out GVT/AGVT so will be an interesting one for me. Especially seeing how FF has started on beast mode!

Ultimately, macros will be increasing, in due course, as this is a lot more taxing for recovery, but then again, even during my strength training, i still coupled a little bit of volume. I'm thinking something like a 15% increase should be ok vs calories consumed and recovery requirements - but that's just a plucked out of the air figure for now.

Out of interest have you considered cycling calories between work/rest days?

I'm currently working on a similar approaching aiming for 1lb a month and it makes a lot more sense to take this approach because the typical bulk/cut phase is a nightmare and over extended periods, I believe the net gains are less in my limited and humble experience.
 
I don't really do cutting or bulking - I just eat enough calories that makes me feel that I'm eating enough to recover. It's not hugely scientific, but I do log what I eat, and see what sort of macros I'm hitting and understand what my body's telling me. As long as I recover and don't feel fatigued I know I'm getting the right things in. :)
 
Loving this FF, day 2 of DOMS. Not felt this sore in a long, long time. Core is crippling and legs are like jelly. Deads tonight are going to be sexual.

Looking forward to see how much your smashing me by on overall volume! Be insane!
 
Deads / OHP

Wow what a brutal session! :D

Seated Db press

OHP should have been a little heavier - maybe 52.5-55kg. Deads were bang on - form was tight, however started to fatigue. The 90s rests are ****ing hard work.

Loved the session today, though some people were complaining about the noise from my deadlifts :rolleyes:

Total Volume Today:

11,652Kg - not that high owing to OHP - this doesn't include the warm up sets.



Total volume to date:

31,994Kg

Looks brutal, is brutal!

People annoy me, don't like the noise of a weight hitting the floor? Join a gym without free weights! Morons.

Pull ups

Annoyingly forgot my rings today :( Ah well had to do regular ol' dips - and actually, my chest was so fried, the pump was ridiculous.

Pull ups were HAAAARD. Deads, DB Rows and my massive TBar row set probably saw to that.

Also, tbar rows - should have gone heavier. The last set didn't feel particularly hard.

Total Volume today:

9,060Kg



Total Volume To Date:

41,054Kg
 
O lawd. This thread. I am especially loving the logging of total volume. I'm not going to lie, it makes me excited.
 
The reason for no updates is that on Monday I twinged my back, picking up a pen from the floor :confused: :( Bloody painful. It's just a trapped nerve type of thing, and have been loosening it up with some mobility etc - but did spasm badly for a day. I'm still a tender so felt it wise not to do any big lifting at the moment - I will try and get back to the gym and do some exercises that don't aggravate it - but want to be careful.

To say I'm ****ed off is an understatement. I was enjoying my training again... but I have to be sensible and rest.

RIP etc... :(
