Cycle 2 Review (No Deload Week 4)

Cycle 2 Review

Feel fresh, core feels much stronger.

Cardio wise I feel good.

At the end of last week I felt very sluggish on the bag, but that could be due to lack of sleep. Adding in some jump rope work on the cardio end to keep things fresh for cycle 3.

Skipping Week 4 deload on Cycle 2 because I will be on vacation in 4 weeks. Will take a deload break then.

Highlights of Cycle 2:
Looking at weight lifted for highest reps and heaviest 3s

DL: 215 x 7, 230 x 4
BP: 190 x 4, One rep higher than last cycle's max x rep
Squat: 200 x 7, 225 x 3
OH Press: Double 24kg KB x 5, 114 x 3,

For Cycle 3

After two cycles, bumping up BP by 5 lbs.
- Technically lifting my goal of BW BP. Maintain strength in this exercise, and increase it through the
OH Press by 5 lbs
- Will start to transition from KB pyramids to strict barbell OH Press to push more weight. Use this exercise for the majority of my upper body work along with pull ups.
DL up 10 lbs.
- Feel pretty confident about this lift and probably can pull more.
Squats up 5 lbs.
- At 1.34x my body weight I am going to bring this lift along slower than DL.
