M4:D1 (D301) The Plan

August 22, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

Today i will outline the plans for my fourth mission.  There will be two phases to my mission.  Phase 1 will be from August 21, 2008 through October 25, 2008.  This will be nothing but a bulking phase.  My goal will be to pack on as much muscle as humanly possible during that time frame.  I have created Phase 1 in this manner so that I can properly celebrate my 1 year of shredding.  Phase 2 will be about working on specific muscle groups that lagged during Phase 1.  It will last 35 days to cap off a total for Mission 4 of 100 days.  Phase 2 will begin on October 26, 2008 and end on November 30, 2008.  Thus, this entire mission will be about bulking and Getting REALLY Big (which just happens to be the title of the new mission).  I am keeping the plan simple and to the point.  I am not changing alot about what I am currently doing.  I expect to see huge results in a short period of time.

I will be posting my accountability log the same way I have been all along.  I will also post summaries of my workouts when I'm using something I purchased from someone else and I will post my detailed workout logs when I am doing something on my own.  I am always at odds with what to do when I am working through a program I purchased.  On the one hand, simply posting my results isn't really violating any copyright because the details of why the workout is done the way it is done isn't covered in a workout log.  However, since I'm not really sure, I err on the side of caution and simply post a summary of what I did.  It avoids any potential problems with the author of the workout.  Anyone have thoughts on this issue?

Today was back day using the same scheme I've been using all week.  Supersetting isolation exercises (to pre-exhaust the muscles) with compound exercises.  The rest in between is short to really push the body.  My back was definitely sore after this workout.  It was a pretty intense workout as usual.  I'm liking the concept of pre-exhausting the muscles.  My compound lifts have been a little lighter as a result, but much more intense.  I feel a burn faster in the muscles doing it this way.  I am a firm believer in supersets because they get the work done quickly.
