Recently I ran into one of my old high school friend's Instagram profile. He used to be pretty skinny and lifted way less than I did, but recently he's bulked up and he's about at my level, even past me on some lifts. We used to be rivals at everything. I seriously don't want him to be stronger than me.
Starting today I'm completely cleaning up everything about my diet/exercise. I'm still going to try to cut, but I'm going to do it much slower in a way that I continue to get stronger...basically almost a recomp. He pulls 405x1, I pull 405x1. He is not going to pull the same weight as I do, god damn it.
EDIT: The plan as I've thought of it in the shower:
Madcow 5x5 for ? weeks, until my total stays above 1000 for two weeks. To verify this I'll be doing a 1RM for squat, DL, and bench every two weeks on the Sunday when I don't normally work out, with the first being on June 10. I assume this will take two months or so since I've reset my lifts (Deadlift was starting to stall, squats I started doing ATG, bench...well I just reset it anyway)
Currently:
- 405x1 DL
- 355x1 squat
- 190x5 bench (225x1?)
Total: 950
Afterwards, I'll be focusing on a hypertrophy routine while still on a modest cut, either PHAT or something else. Once I've hit a good BF% (Aiming for 10%, I'm ~15% right now) I'll immediately start bulking. I don't have any plans for that right now. For cardio throughout, I might do sprints or something, but I'm mostly going to be walking my dog 3 miles every morning...while farmer's carrying a kettlebell/plate.
My diet is going to be mostly intermittent fasting, extremely low carb (keto) until/unless I hit a plateau. According to IFCalc I'm cycling 1600/2100 kcal, to be adjusted if I'm not losing 0.5~1.0-lb a week.
God damn I need to get my shit together. That motherfucker is not going to beat me.
