After roughly a month’s rest, I went backto training. Excited than ever, I took my pre-workout meal and headed straight to the gym.
I will be posting my work-out logs, programs, diet and such for others to critique.I would love to hear your thoughts about what I do in the gym.
Lazy Days
It’s been quite sometime since I last posted my work-out log. It’s not that I was busy. I had just been lazy. But none the less, I followed through with my work-outs.
Compound per Pound
Using compound exercises you are able to hit different muscles in a given rep/set. It helps increase strength faster and also helps build muscle mass. If you can notice, the training program that I had been using are comprised mainly of compound exercises.
If you ask why, you can refer back to my previous post that says something about my goals on the initial stage of the Bear Training Program.

It was almost 5 years ago when I had a very terrible accident inside the gym. The accident left me with a shoulder sprain that still haunts me until today. I was dumb enough to have not consulted a physician about it. Worst, I almost ended up with very same incident.
Shoulder sprain. I was set to lift 210lbs then. I was 19, and was still learning the ropes of bodybuilding. As always, I was excited to hit the weight room. I was doing a 5×5 routine then. At my last set, I intended to break my previous record. I wanted progress. But I wasn’t carefull.

Goal. The main objective of the initial stage of the Bear Train Program was to increase the volume on my exercises, gain weight and increase muscle mass. I currently weigh about 155lbs. My goal was to get to 165lbs.
Marco, we have a problem. It wasn’t happening though. Eventhough I’ve been able to progress on the exercises I’ve been doing, I still wasn’t satisfied. Looking in the mirror, I can see that I am starting to bulk-up. But the weighing scale says otherwise. I was still stuck at the same body weight.
This has been my concern for the longest time. I’ve tried different methods and supplements, but still ended up frustrated.

Tweaking. On the previous logs, I have mentioned about me finding myself overtraining. After several attempts to cut my training duration within the 30-45mins time-frame I still wasn’t able to beat it. I had to make a choice. It was either I continue to overtrain or to apply changes on the program.
Initially, I wasn’t quite sure why I was taking that long that much time to finish my training. I tried to lessen the sets and reps of my work-outs, although not for that reason. From 5sets x 5reps, I cut it to 3sets x 3rep. I also paid much attention to my resting periods. I rested for only 1-2mins per exercise. Still, I ended up going behind the duration I was aiming for.

Work-out split. On the previous logs, I was using a 1-on 3-off training day split. To simply put, if I start working-out on a Monday, I then take 3 day of rest. The next work-out will be on a Friday. More or less I get to hit the same body parts in almost twice in every given week. Also given an ample time to rest, as it is a requirement for growth.
