Road to Nationals Week 5 and 6

  Missed doing anything blog related last week as the beautiful weather was priority. Two more weeks done and I'm still in one piece. Going into week 5 I could feel my body giving me signs it was not happy and I was pushing the gas pedal too much with this program. My day 2 squat workout in week 5 in short kicked my ass hard. The tank was drained once I finished that sucker, which carried over to day 3-4 that week. Week 6 I made the mistake of not adapting to what was going on and nose dived even further. Day 2 and squats well that was a complete wash out. My top programmed set for 5 reps was 365lbs and after 1 rep I called it. Did some light romanian deadlifts after that and called it a workout. My day 3 bench workout did not feel strong at all but overall it went much better than my squat workout but I did drop the BBB sets. By the time day 4 came the changes I made in decreased volume and intensity during the week had me feeling better. All my deadlift work now is conventional only. Too many hip issues with sumo currently so I'm staying away from them. Deadlifts was the highlight of my week 6 and I spanked 500lbs for 1 rep with no issues.
This is the end of my 6 week block of so called hypertrophy training that went well up until the end of week 4. The culprit was the BBB sets and ever increasing the weight each week. There is a HUGE difference between doing 5 sets of 10 reps in a pyramid style and BBB sets with a compound movement. After week 4 I should have deloaded but instead well you read what happened above. There are many different ways to do the BBB program and I choose one of the hardest ways of course so next time I will choose a better option and probably only go for 4 weeks. 
Next up is a strength block that I will figure out how it looks over the coming week. This one will not be the same for all my training days. The original plan for week 7 was to test my training max for a AMRAP set for each lift excluding military press. Doing this would be a waste of time because I've overtrained. This will now be a deload week so I will cut back on how much accessory work I do and only work up to 1 rep with my training max for each lift.
