Reactive Training

Scroll to see replies

This was my final workout on a bulk. I'll eat in a surplus for the next two days (through guess work like it was done so far) then start cutting. I can't remember why but over the past two months I have done the first part of The Bridge 3.0 twice. Here are the results from when I ended my previous cut:

Bodyweight
92.5kg>97.5kg

Squat 190kgx1@8>220kgx1@9
Not much to say other than I'm really happy with this. 5 plates has been a goal of mine for a very very long time (years).

Deadlift 200kgx1@10>205kgx1@8
I'm happy that this is finally moving. I think I could've done 210kgx1@8 if I attempted that instead of 220kg.

Bench Press 120kgx1@8>130kgx1@8 (this is really just the one best session I had though)
I really should've focused on my technique more instead of just trying to add weight.

OHP 92.5kgx1@10>97.5kgx1@8
A very nice improvement. Hopefully I can hit 1.1xbodyweight after another cut/bulk cycle.

Current waist circumference: approx 37 inches

I'm considering doing week 1 to make sure I get rid of any fatigue that is bleeding in from previous training weeks. I'm not sure. I'm going to start training my abs in the hopes of one day achieving an L-sit. I'll take extra care to gain weight very slowly next time I bulk (1kg a month) to avoid my waist getting too big. Ideally I don't want it getting any higher than 33/34 inches.

How low are you aiming to cut to? Also how tall are you?

I'm torn between doing it for 8 weeks which is the program length or just simply cutting until Feb which is when I'm going on holiday to the Philippines.

Not a bad start to the cut. Hopefully over time my deadlift will be more on par. It was a lot higher than my squat when I was 75kg.

I'm getting a lot better at controlling the bar on the way down so it doesn't crash at the bottom. My butt is staying on the bench a lot more too.

I'll be teaching English in a place called Hefei which is 2.5 hours by train from Shanghai.

Not sure if you can access TSR from China, but I hope you're not too affected by all the virus stuff. Looks like you're not all that far from Hubei...
