I did lower yesterday morning. I tried some powdered caffeine since I couldn't wake up and took apparently too much. So, I just made sure I hit the 5x5 A2G squats and power shrugs before I bailed to ride out the shakes playing some Madden on the 'ol XBox.
I've got my X-Factor a few days ago which I've been taking. In order to really measure the effectiveness of the supplement, I've decided it's time again to do another DF 5x5 run. Last run I've got super results, so I expect better ones if this product is close to worth the price. I'm getting slightly bored with my upper/lower splits and think it's time to mix it up. I've been "resting" long enough since my last run. If you treat this program right, then you too would be hesitant to start another volume phase....Yes, it's that hard! The basic breakdown is this in terms of toughness and mental drain: (which is why I'm usually hesitant to recommend the full program)
Volume Phase-
Week 1: Managable
Week 2: Hard
Week 3: Very Hard
Week 4: Insane (I start to feel like shit halfway through)
Week 5: Deload!!
Another thing to note. I might just do an advanced three week volume phase where I'm closer to my RM's. I still haven't decided upon doing the full four weeks of hell or just sticking to three.
I might skip the intensity phase altogether. I'm thinking of the HST workout I made to follow the deload. I like the full body's. I won't do the SD, just try to increase the weights higher and higher. When I cannot progressively overload further, I'll drop the reps and carry on. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
