CYCLE 8

THE WORKOUT.

Coming from Smolov jr for my Squat and Bench, I've decided to somehow apply the same frequency for 5/3/1. There are templates from the book similar to this frequency but with less intensity. I will still take advantage of my noob gains and higher chance of recovery from workouts. My progress for 5/3/1 has been very slow and from a beginner's mindset this is frustrating. I will try and do more accessory workouts, but I think I will stick to Boring but Big because other workouts bore the shit out of me. There will be no deload weeks until I do the mock meet 20 weeks out from my first meet.

THE DIET.

I've had so much fun with the Keto Diet which is why I've decided to stick with it - only this time I will do Cyclical Keto Diet by the book. I still cannot see myself doing Straight Keto Diet because it will most probably result into bingeing. I will refeed every Saturday. 

DIET-WORKOUT REGIME

Oddly enough, it is Wednesday. I always feel like everything should start on a Monday but I really don't want to take more days off so I'll just start the workout program on Wednesdays. I'm pretty sure I can adjust this in the future.
