Not out of boredom, I swear. I've just been finding with my current schedule (or lack thereof) that maintaining the kind of consistency I was looking for on my previous plan was simply inadequate for what I was trying to achieve. Namely, adequate hypertrophy for maintaining / adding some lean muscle mass to my frame and increasing my mobility / accelerating fat loss.
As such, now that I am one month away from Main Eventing for Blaze Pro Wrestling vs Mentallo, I feel kinda under the gun to get things going a bit more expediently.
Changes I've made?
For starters. Lets eye ball the nutrition. While I haven't been eating like a 13 year old per se, there isn't a single person in my life who would be able to say they haven't seen me crushing a cookie or two more than I should be. So, lets tighten up the belt and tape the pie hole shut for a bit, hmmm? Or at least, track my macros a bit more diligently for the month of June.
Only lifting every other day, while focusing on the whole upper body. The specific exercises will vary depending on equipment available at the time, but a day where I hit Back, Chest, Shoulders and Arms all for 5 sets of 10-15 will give me enough of boost to carry over to my next lifting day. Sure, not a ton of volume on any given day, but over the course of a week, that evens out to a minimum of 15 sets per muscle group which is more than enough.
Non Lifting days will be focused on Mobility, Core and Cardio. Nothing too extreme, but I really want to expand the flexibility in my hips and knees if possible. Plus adding some core stability and sweat equity on the treadmill or cross trainer is always a good thing for my heart and in-ring wind. Though, nothing is quite the same as getting int the ring and working - this is the next best thing.
So yeah, nothing too crazy. Last 2 workouts have looked like this:
May 25, 2025
Warm Ups
Hammer Grip Pull Down - 190 x 12, 12, 10, 7, 8 (fail)
Flat Barbell Bench Press - 135lb x 12, 155lb x 12, 175lb x 12, 195lb x 12, 215lb x 6 (rebuilding stamina and joint strength here - great pump)
DB Side Lat Raise - 30lb x 15, 15, 15, 15, 15
Rev Grip Tricep Extension - 70 x 15, 15, 15, 15, 15
DB Bicep Curls - 30lb x 15, 15, 15, 15, 15
Treadmill - 35 Mins, 3% 2.6 mph
So, at the end of this session I know I can push the final exercises a bit more going forward. I'd underestimated how much endurance I'd have at that point. Now I have a better idea.
May 26, 2025
Stretching
Low Back Hyperextension - BW 3 x 15
Mach Crunch - stack, 3 x 20
KB Around the World - 35lb 3 x 20
Treadmill - 60 Mins, 3%, 2.7mph
Not the most intense cardio, but that's not the point. Just getting on there and working myself out is the goal for a bit as I know I've been neglecting the sweat more than I care to admit. Gonna try to get on the x-trainers more, better for my knees.
Like I said, 1 Month Away from the next Blaze Pro Event. If you missed our last one, you can now check out the Entire Show IN FULL at the Link. So please, Like / Subscribe and More.
