I planned out a new hypertrophy based routine and started today. It's based around a 4 day split still. One upper power day, one lower power day, one upper hypertrophy day, and one lower hypertrophy day. I'm cranking up the volume significantly and pour on a few calories. Hopefully build some muscle.
I also started using the new slow cooker to pre make some meals. So far so good.

I was still battling some crazy soreness from saturday's squats... since I hadn't squatted in a month before that (weak sauce). Decided to try and work through the soreness today to try and keep the first week on schedule... we'll see in the next couple days if that was a mistake or not. My legs are dooonnneeeeeeee.
One bonus though is that if you stick to the 2 minute rest for power lifts and 1 min rest for hypertrophy/accessory lifts then the lower day is pretty short (about 45min).

Hamstring curls suck on a normal workout day ... but they really suck right after stiff leg deads....
I somehow lost 2lb. I've been eating lots but I guess my body must be really trying hard to repair. Which I guess means the new workout is taxing the body which is a good sign.

Big change in workout type since i last looked(pretty much been a stranger to the fourm and the gym for the last year lol). I'm interested to see how the hyper training works for you. Did you take some start measurments arms/legs etc as you may notice more difference in size vs strength with the new program?

I didn't take any pre measurements but I probably still could as I'm only up 1lb so far. ha The hypertrophy routine definitely has a different feel and is a lot faster paced but I'm getting used to it now and it's starting to feel pretty good. We'll see if I can actually make any size gains now.
You'll also find this forum is on it's death bed. lol I pretty much just use it for keeping a log.

Biceps died off hhaarrrrddd on the 3rd set. Had a borderline painful pump from that.
Thoughts
The gym was *packed* today. Had to forgo declines for flat bench. No partner either so I had to try and snipe a random for a spot which is always hit or miss.
