Another public thanks to Dean (grunt) for letting me know about Hypertrophy Specific Training.

Last week was my week of Strategic Deconditioning, so this week starts another cycle with progressive loads. After the first cycle, I was able to determine my true 15RM, 10RM, and 5RM and start at the right weight for each exercise.

I'm definitely seeing muscle growth and definition. Don't have measurements or pics (yet).

It was kind of wild to see that on some machines, I was approaching the maximum weight available at the end of the last cycle. We'll see if I can actually max out any of them this go 'round.
