Jan 31 ’26 — Iron Abyss​

Hepburn Pump Phase B — Week 2
Session: Squats / Bench / Accessories
Bodyweight: 213.9
Calories In: 3029 kcal
Cardio: Stat Bike — 10 miles — 38:40
Tone: 40 Hz × 20 min
Training Window: ~1:40 → 4:15 (≈155 min)

BIG PICTURE READ​

This was a textbook Phase B Week 2 execution.

• Bar speed stayed crisp
• Static loading held exactly where it should
• Density increased via reps (3s → 4s) instead of load
• No joint flare, no CNS spillover, no recovery debt created

This is controlled accumulation, not survival lifting.

---

MAIN LIFTS — PERFORMANCE CHECK​

SSB Squats — 3×3 + 3×4 @ 315​

• Total reps: 21
• Load stayed static
• Rep jump achieved without bar speed loss
• SSB choice continues to spare hips/knees while hammering upper back

This is Phase B doing its job — more work, same weight, no grind.

---

Seated Good Mornings (SSB) — 2×3 + 4×4​

• Excellent hinge pairing after SSB squats
• Pin pause keeps ego in check and spinal position honest
• Volume increase handled cleanly

This is posterior chain insurance, not junk volume.

---

Front Squats (Reverse SSB) — 2×3 + 4×4​

• Load progression is conservative and smart
• Upper-back + quad stimulus without axial overload
• Very good placement after good mornings

Front work here = structural strength, not fatigue chasing.

---

Leg Extensions — 4×12​

• Knee-friendly, blood-driven finish
• Load progression appropriate
• No signs of irritation or overreach

This is exactly where leg extensions belong.

---

UPPER BODY — PERFORMANCE CHECK​

Bench — 3×3 + 3×4 @ 200​

• Static load maintained
• Rep density increased
• Groove consistency intact

This is quiet bench progress, the kind that shows up later when it matters.

---

Incline Bench (30°) — 2×3 + 4×4​

• Smooth transition from bench
• Shoulder-friendly angle
• Good carryover without overtaxing elbows

Solid choice over spoto here given weekly bench frequency.

---

JM Press — 2×3 + 4×4​

• Excellent triceps emphasis for Phase B
• Elbow tolerance respected
• Progression stayed controlled

This continues rebuilding pressing durability without poking the bear.

---

Cable Triceps — 4×12​

• Pure pump, pure blood flow
• No recovery cost
• Exactly what Phase B accessories should look like

---

ABS & CORE​

• Woodchoppers
• Pallof
• Bent-leg lifts (high reps)

That’s anti-rotation + flexion + endurance covered.
Zero notes. Keep rotating.

---

TONNAGE — WORKING SETS ONLY​

Lower Body​

• SSB Squats: ~6,300 lb
• Seated GMs: ~6,270 lb
• Front Squats: ~5,190 lb
• Leg Extensions: ~6,600 lb

Lower Total: ~24,360 lb

Upper Body​

• Bench: ~4,200 lb
• Incline Bench: ~4,540 lb
• JM Press: ~3,140 lb
• Cable Triceps: ~3,120 lb

Upper Total: ~15,000 lb

Total Session Tonnage​

≈ 39,000 lb


That is right where Phase B should live.

---

ENERGY & RECOVERY BALANCE​

Estimated Burn​

• Baseline daily burn: ~2,000 kcal
• Cardio: ~425 kcal
• Lifting (high density, long session): ~750–800 kcal

Total Burn: ~3,200–3,250 kcal

Net​

• In: 3029
• Out: ~3200+

Near-neutral to slight deficit


That’s perfect:

• Muscle signal stays high
• Fat gain stays minimal
• Recovery stays intact

---

RECOVERY STATUS​

Green lights across the board

• No joint noise
• No CNS leakage
• No emotional volatility
• Session length stayed reasonable

This is sustainable momentum, not borrowed energy.

---

FINAL VERDICT​

This workout:

• Advanced Phase B exactly as intended
• Increased density without load creep
• Reinforced joint health
• Preserved recovery bandwidth

Session: Deads / OHP / Accessories
Bodyweight: 215.4
Calories In: 2958 kcal
Cardio: Stat Bike — 10 miles — 38:10
Tone: 40 Hz × 20 min
Training Window: ~2:00 → 5:00 (≈180 min)

BIG PICTURE READ​

This was a clean, controlled end-of-week pull day.

• No CNS bleed
• No emotional noise
• No form drift
• Volume progressed exactly as Phase B intends

You finished the week worked, not cooked — that’s the win.

---

MAIN LIFTS — PERFORMANCE CHECK​

Deadlifts — 3×3 + 3×4 @ 365​

• Total reps: 21
• Static load held
• Rep density increased
• Bar speed consistent through the 4s

This is textbook submax accumulation. No reason to chase load here.

---

Sumo Rack Pulls — 3×3 + 3×4​

• Progressive loading done right
• Excellent tie-in for lockout + hip strength
• No sign of lower-back fatigue bleed into RDLs

Very good sequencing after conventional pulls.

---

RDLs — 3×3 + 3×4​

• Progressive but controlled
• Hams getting loaded without spinal compromise
• Volume increase handled cleanly

Posterior chain stimulus is high quality, not junk.

---

Lat Pulldowns — 4×12​

• Heavy enough to matter
• High-rep enough to pump
• Supports deadlift volume instead of competing with it

Correct choice here over rows after RDLs.

---

UPPER BODY — PERFORMANCE CHECK​

OHP — 3×3 + 3×4 @ 120​

• Static load appropriate
• Rep bump achieved without grind
• Shoulders tolerated volume well

This keeps pressing frequency up without stealing recovery from bench days.

---

Incline Bench — 3×3 + 3×4​

• Progressive sets landed clean
• Good angle choice for shoulder health
• Supports triceps and upper-pec growth

Solid pairing with OHP.

---

Bent BB Rows — 3×3 + 3×4​

• Volume increase without momentum creep
• Good balance against pressing
• No grip or low-back complaints noted

Exactly where rows should sit in this session.

---

Delts — 4×12​

• Pure pump, low recovery cost
• Good capstone before abs

---

ABS / CORE​

Quick circuit = smart call after long pull day.

• Bent-leg lifts
• Field goals
• Pallof

You hit flexion, rotation resistance, and endurance. No notes.

---

TONNAGE — WORKING SETS ONLY​

Perfect for:

---

RECOVERY STATUS​

Green across the board

• No head issues
