IT’S BULKTOBERFEST, FREAKS!! 

Yes, as you know if YOU have been following The Lifting Dead Army training, we’ve been getting diced up on our limited-calorie-post-apocalyptic diet complete with extensive bodyweight weaponry training, flexibility, and ancient yoga routines. Alas, as the leaves change and the air grows colder, as sleeping spirit demons arise from their iron tombs & the pumpkins grow heavier than the weights we have yet to lift.. it’s time to shift the focus of our training as the moon shifts through it’s cycles.

 Now that we’re mobile and can move link ninja spider creatures from beyond this planet, how bout we kick it old school and throw on a retro VHS creature feature as we gain some SIZE! Muscle, volume, strength, blood, pumpkins weights, tombstones, steaks, stakes, etc. Welcome to PUMPKINREPS & PUMPKINREPS II: BLOOD GAINS - our 13 WEEK autumnal muscle & strength building training programs. Visit the eldest witch in the iron crypt (me) for instructions on how to properly resurrect this program for optimal gains & destruction. 


BELOW IS A BASIC OVERVIEW AND THE FIRST PHASE OF TRAINING. 


JOIN THE LIFTING DEAD ARMY TO ACCESS THE FULL PROGRAM!!

GOALS:

Increase sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (if you’ve been following The Lifting Dead Army traiing, we’ve been working on the myofibril) aka muscularity & strength as we maintain our creepy crawly levels of mobility & flexibility.
 Our secondary goal is it increase our POWER output through plyometrics & pumpkin (med ball) slams.


OVERVIEW:

M: Legs

F: Shoulders & Arms


Each week will have a different focus:


Week 1: Hypertrophy (high rep)

Week 2: Power (low rep, high sets, high speed, plyos)

Week 3: Strength (low rep, low sets, high weight, static & isometric)


MOBILITY/FLEXIBILITY/CARDIO/CORE/MOVEMENT will happen on


TUE: Yoga, Movement, Light Cardio / Shadowboxing

THU: Yoga, HIIT Cardio, Abs / Balance
