I do not utilize a leg press either
instead, I work in leg extensions and DB/BB stationary lunges and walking lunges
well no walking lunges any longer (no driveway to walk down anymore) :p
Perfect thanks Steve. I could potentially sub in a superset consisting of extensions/lunges for that crazy burn. I have a driveway but i'll need to keep it salted!!

Week 1 there is hack squats, week 2 regular squats. But I imagine swapping out the leg press for a squat in week 1 would work.

15 on, 1 off.. my name is not Breezy!
Yeah, you should be able to come up with decent replacements. I'd try to make substitutions based on how he wanted them performed (foot placement, tempo, rep scheme, banded, other intensity techniques).

I'm heading into my 3rd day off in a row and may have a couple more. :eek:

Thanks Breezy. I guess you will call this your deload. Hopefully you are able to get back at it before you anticipate.

Great session to close out GVT. I would have to say my run was very successful. It will be nice to get back to some heavier weight though for certain exercises. I suppose my only concern here is my shoulder. It has been feeling a lot better over the last couple of weeks, so hopefully it stays strong and pain-free. I am looking forward to giving Meadows training a go....(Friday or Saturday)

Day off tomorrow (will put in a 6-7km run). And possibly going to take Friday - but that is to be determined.

I've had the same benefit. My shoulder, with the exception of today (minor tweak), has been feeling great.

Hurry up and get tired of MD and those bands. I could use a set. :D

That wouldn't work. We don't exchange gifts. No worries though. I'm going to give MD a try, and if I like it I'll pick up some bands. There are a couple supps I'd rather pick up in the mean time.

I'm looking forward to seeing you officially get started on MD. I wouldn't be surprised if your shoulder started feeling even better. Mine are like new (along with the rest of my joints) after a year of doing Meadows' training. There isn't a lot of pressing movements and the variations don't usually allow for a ton of weight. They're always towards the end of a session as well, so your shoulders will be warmed up. He set it up this way with shoulder/joint health in mind.

Certainly like the sound of that. Do you recommend following the program (4 workouts per week) or ok to 'shorten the week'. ie 2 on / 1 off or 4 on / 1 off.

You might find that you'll need the 3 days off per week. I'd see how you feel/recover from the workouts. I believe I started with 4 sessions per week during my first run, but switched to 5 after a while.

Email sent. And I asked her to buy 2 sets, so you can send me one. ;)

Hrm. I'm strongly debating. This close to Christmas I may not be able to get away with much personal spending, and I want to go ahead and get a back up Stimul8, possibly some G8. I'll start looking around Craigslist.

Craigslist for bands. Surely someoe thought it was a good idea when they were drunk or hungover, and now they're sitting in a closet collecting dust.

Definitely waiting for the Christmas sales for supps.

I gave my bands away to a member of my challenge group in January.

Did you post something up and then delete it? Or is my PC acting crazy?

Just get 2 26 inch tire inner tubes and go to town. I used to make home made sling shots out of them all the time!
