Day 387: These Numbers Are Shocking!

G'day,

Today I completed Day 4 of the Five Day Structural Attack (5DSA) and I have some amazing Burnout Stats to let you in on (Full report coming tomorrow).

Check it out!

Day 1: Five Day Structural Attack

I started Day 1 of 5DSA (Barbell Squats for 20 minutes straight with 3 rep sets at 30 seconds rest) at 100 KG and finishing up with 12 reps at 90KG on my Burnout Set.

Day 4: Five Day Structural Attack

I started today (Day 4) of 5DSA (Barbell Squats for 35 minutes straight with 3 rep sets at 30 seconds rest) at 120KG and finishing up with 16 reps at 80KG on my Burnout Set.

Can You See The Significance Of These Numbers?

Even though the weight increment is 10 KG lower on Day 4 I managed to get out the 16 reps on top of an additional 15 minutes of brutal Barbell Squat work!

From a pure "load" point of view I actually lifted more weight on today's Burnout Set: Day 4 "load" of 1,280 KG's (16 reps at 80KG's) as opposed to Day 1 "load" of 1,080 KG's (12 reps at 90 KG's).

As this is the first time I have ever undergone this type of intense "structural attack" training I am extremely pleased with these results, the best part is that I still have one more day to go. I am really looking forward to seeing what I can achieve tomorrow!

One Important Point:

I strongly believe that my "rest day" yesterday greatly helped with my efforts today. Even though this was a departure from the "official program" of five consecutive days I "listened" to my body yesterday and my body told me it desperately needed rest!

I'll post a comprehensive breakdown of my 5DSA stats tomorrow for the whole five days along with detailed analysis and advice on what to expect if you incorporate this training strategy into your "mass building" routine.

Until tomorrow...

Eat Clean,
Shred Hard,
Think BIG!
