8/10 c25k w1d3. Felt even easier.
So… I don’t like this rp physique program. I feel like I am losing strength. Strongly considering going back to 531 BBB/fsl that I ran 2 cycles of earlier. I enjoyed that.
I think it could be the high rep work 3 sets and 55 reps in total, something like 20,18 17 or is it rest pause so more like 30, 15 10?
If the latter it’s like Paul Carters 50 rep sets.
You could do the first amrap set with heavy weight and get a 4 - 7 rep amrap, reduce weight and do two high rep set
It’s no rep goal. What RP does is has you enter your 10 rep maxes and then week 1 is 2 sets at a little less than your 10 rep max for reps until 3 from failure.
Week 2 is 3 set 3 from failure. Week 3 is 4 sets at 2 from failure and week 4 is 5 sets 1 from failure. Those end up looking like 15,15,15 or 20,15,15 on most of the sets.
I think I don’t like working so close to failure on so many exercises. Every single one. 8 exercises a day on the 3 day program and 7 on the 4 day program. It’s boring and there are no strength sets in any thing.
On 531bbb I can do 6 exercises 3 times a week. Push strength sets on the top working set and then back of for valume with out having to work to failure on everything. It allows for better fatigue management and recovery.
Did a day of BBB to see how I felt
If I continue this is c3w1d1 kept the same rep maxes as I started with before since I took a vacation and haven’t been pushing strength lately.
Bench press 5’s week
3x5 warm up 45,50,60
3x5 working 65,75,80 (12 reps top set)
5x10 BBB 50 lbs close grip super set with
5x10 DB row 35 lbs
3x15 leg press 190 lbs
3x15 leg curl 70 lbs
3x15 triceps push down 30 lbs ss with cable face pulls 3x20
3x20 hanging leg raises ss push ups 3x15,10,10
This felt much better. I don’t mind the lay out of the RP programs but it’s missing the top working sets.
If you like it better, I’ll bet you’ll get better results, doing something you like is always better.
If you want to lose some weight too, as I remember there was an event of something coming up right.
Then do some conditioning at the end. Like Farmers walk/carries at the end of leg day and battle rope on upper body days.
Or what I really like walking every day for an hour or more… but it takes a lot of time. So some carries at the end could do the trick
I have been adding c25k on my rest days and my boyfriend and I have been going for a walk every night after dinner. So that should help cover the cardio aapect
Ok. Y’all are gonna like this. Last night my mom and sister in law decided it should be mudslides and chik flicks night. So I had nachos mudslides and mom made a cake.

I know the gain is from the carbs from unexpected events with friends and family.
And probably extra salty food 
That was a beast of a workout you guys put up there.
Thanks! Surprisingly I feel pretty good today. A little tired. A little sore but not too bed. I can at least take the stairs with out staring at them like they are my greatest enemy.
8/13 woke up at 147
C25k w2d1
