Got off to a good start with the block training last week. Unfortunately, I also got sick on Wednesday, rendering training the rest of the week utterly useless. I tried to give it a go Thursday, but it went pretty awful. As such, I decided to shut it down for the week and start back up over again this week. I've also decided I'll probably only be updating weekly. But I figured I would at least update following the first day.
Week 1 Day 1 accumulation - upper
1A. DB Bench - 5x8x70's
1B. 1-arm DB Row - 5x8x70
1 minute between sets
2A. Lateral Raises - 2x10
2B. Thick Bar Curls - 2x10
3A. Band Tricep Pushdown - 2x10
3B. Wrist Curls - 2x10
I give myself leeway on assistance work, and while I'm over my illness, symptoms are not completely gone and I still haven't slept for shit for roughly the last 5 nights. As such, I'm still not 100%. I could tell even during the DB bench and rows this was the case, but I got the work in. On to the next day.

Update
Well, as I've done a horseshit job of updating this blog, I'll give it another shot. I'm going to play around with some block programming principles to see what happens. I'm well aware that I'm not advanced enough, nor in need of specific block programming, but I do want to try it out. Plus, I'm programming for someone who is actually set on powerlifting as a sport, so it will be fun to play around with and see what happens with him.
The diet is by no means over, but it has relaxed quite a bit. The general setup for my workouts upcoming will be - 3 weeks of accumulation, 1 week deload, 3 week transmutation, 1 week deload, and 2 weeks of realization, 1 week deload, with a "mini-meet" that Saturday. Mainly, I just want to see how well this works out, though I have no pre-set ideas as to what I will hit. If I get near PR's on anything, I will be thoroughly satisfied honestly.
The goal is to hit daily LISS, though at a lower volume than before, until I hit my body comp goals. At that point, I will do it on off days only. I've got my meals mapped out, I simply have to follow the roadmap at this point. So here we go again...
