GCSC JANUARY 2020

JANUARY 5th, 2020
New 2 week burst of full-auto mass gaining. We’re gonna stick to the simpler programming and there will be a bodyweight theme to the Sweats this cycle.
A magnum-sized strength and conditioning program, based on powerlifting and sports performance.
-Anyone following the 4 day routine should not do “humpday pumpday”. They should do the active rest. Whether they do the Sabado Gigante (which is the same programming as humpday pumpday) is case by case depending how they feel from the week’s worth of work. Don’t over do it. The Sabado Gigante often overlaps things done during the week. When in doubt, push or drag sleds and do some curls.
-Afterburners: These are optional conditioning pieces of the programming. Whether a person completes this is dependent on their goals and calorie intake. If actual sustained strength and mass is the goal, the afterburners should not be done. At least not without increased calorie count to accommodate the extra effort. That being said, some sustained sweat should happen at least once a week. That is the active rest on Wednesday.
Additionally, some of the movements in the Afterburners are not found in the GainCity accessory work. If a person wants to get those movements in for accessory but doesnt want to overdo the sweats, just take the movements and rep counts out of the afterburner and do them like regular sets/reps.
Monday, January 6th, 2020
Brief: Bench all over with some tempo for wht/blu. Just a quick simple little sweat for the Afterburner, so there should be time to get after the accessory pump.
Jet Fuel:

Plank
Mtn Climbers

GainCity:
4x
15 Incline DB piston press
15 Bent over BB Rows
15 Straight bar Curls

Afterburner: 2 Rounds:
3 min on, 2 min off
10 Situps
5 Pushups
*This needs to be scaled so people are working and moving fast for 3 minutes. These are both simple movements but the burn will add up quick. Reduce the reps for pushups if needed and scale by elevating. As always, no knee pushups.
