Welcome to Project SuperHeavyweight 2!! I’ll be documenting my entire offseason here. I plan to update this site bi weekly with information and post a larger monthly update that will include current pictures as well. Be sure to leave comments and questions in the section provided for that. This is designed to be an open forum for y’all to engage and learn as well as follow along.

Current Cardio:
Right now I’m doing cardio daily. Either 15-20 minutes steady state and/or I’ll do HIIT on the Rogue Assault bike where I do 30 seconds all out followed by 45 seconds moderate. I’ll do 2-3 intervals of that immediately post training. Doesn’t sound like a lot but this FLOORS me.
Miscellaneous:
I had Covid during the timeframe from my last update on here. The only real effect I had from it was losing sense of taste and smell which made pushing food a challenge. I took 10 out of 14 days off from the gym, a rest my body needed and something I hadn’t done all year. I also had some very intense acid reflux and heartburn that ensued after my bout with covid and it took a lot of trial and error with Betaine HCL, going as high as 1600 mg per meal in order to combat it. Everything is back to normal for me now and pushing forward.
Training will be altered in the next 4 weeks. I may go back to a PPL split or adjust my frequency of my current split so legs get hit more than once per week. Other than that I like the set up and movements I am running.
Excited to follow this. What is the total number of work sets carried out currently per session?
6-9 depending on the day
Excited to follow this brother 💪
Let me know if you have any questions along the way!
Following along.Every set to failure?
Every working set is, yes. Total volume is always low to allow for proper recovery from this style training.
What body parts want to bring up with this current training set up..? Also will u use intensity techniques ( rest pause , stop sets etc ) later on or upping the volume a bit on select exercises ..?
All of them. But specifically chest and arms. I won’t up my volume. Only time I alter volume is pulling it back closing in on a show. I use rest pauses currently and a lot of pause reps with holds in the stretch and in the contraction.
