    Building the Bridge

    This was a mediocre week. I felt strong but obligations elsewhere made it difficult to get my mind in the game. I still upped the weight as planned for those movements that I had already hit for 2 consecutive weeks with identical weight and reps. I will continue this way while cutting...

    Building the Bridge

    I got some weights recorded for this week. I'm finding myself working hard but really I am looking forward to getting back to mass. Have one more month left of this and thus far cutting up has been really successful. I am down another 2 pounds and my strength which diminished only slightly...

    Thanks rantorcha. I feel like there is more room for experimenting when cutting then when bulking. I have been and will continue to mess around with varying techniques while pushing the necessary weight and reps for cutting.

    Blood Pressure (Correct Cuff Size) and PH

    Good stuff, I recently found some published material about the overall benefits of celery seed extract. It was in some alternative medicine Journal. The author was published in a bunch of other work too. I will get access to that article and drop it here if possible. Thanks for the insight to...

    Once again I went by feel for this week. This resulted in more adjustment to my routine. First, I increased the rep-range of my main movements to 15-8 and adjusted my pump sets to 18 - 8. My rest was 2 minutes for main movements and 1 minute for pump sets. Furthermore, I moved triceps to chest...

    Blood Pressure (Correct Cuff Size) and PH

    Well versed in healthcare and biochemistry so I understand the possible effects of PH on blood pressure. I have an enlarged left-ventricle, as do many athletes, and it doesn't seem to effect my blood pressure. However as an undergraduate I was awful at getting an annual physical. Needless to...

    I'm Back! My week off was uneventful but well deserved and taken advantage of. I ate clean, rested well and just relaxed. This week was my return to the iron dungeon. I eased my way back into it this week and was working anywhere from 15 to 8 reps. I will stay on this path till about mid-April...

    Building the Bridge

    My week concluded with legs. My numbers were the same as last week but my reps went up by 2 for each lift. For time sake I wont put my numbers up but you can review them relative to my last post on leg day. I am entering this week with mixed emotions. I never enjoy taking a full week off from...

    Building the Bridge

    My lifting partner was able to set aside his obligations for two days and was able to life arms with me yesterday and will hit legs with me today. This had my energy levels peaking before I even got to lifting which meant a good day was in store: Close-grip bench press (2 minute rest): (275 x...

    Good Looks Good looks Rantorcha. I like to see that those gains keep coming. Upon my return from my week off I might consider switching up my routine to a similar approach as yours. Keep it coming!

    Building the Bridge

    Tuesday was chest and Thursday was shoulders. Wednesday I got after some HIIT for 35 minutes on the eliptical. I continued to utilize 6-8 rep range weight for three straight sets on most mass building exercises. My volume/pump sets remained the same. Chest: Flat Bench (2 minute rest): (275 x...

    Building the Bridge

    Thanks rantorcha. I've been so involved in my lifts that I forgot about a well needed rest. Haven't taken time of like this in around 6 months so this is long overdue. Although, if it weren't for traveling for work I can't say I would have taken a break for a few more weeks.

    Building the Bridge

    Yesterday I waged war on my back. I continued experimenting as I did with legs on saturday by utilizing 6 rep weight for 3 consectutive sets while maintaining my volume/pump sets the way they have been. My lats were more full and pumped at the top (near my arm pit) than I am used to. The lat...

    Building the Bridge

    I lifted legs on Saturday. I wanted to try a little something different today so for my strength/mass sets I hit 3 straight sets of weight that I would use for a 6 rep range. So instead of increasing my weight I maintained the same weight through 3 sets for 6 reps each set. My volume/pump sets...

    Building the Bridge

    Thursday I got after some shoulders followed by calves. Yesterday I hit some arms. I felt off on shoulders even though my numbers went up. I felt down most of the lift and my pumps weren't as present. I cant complain because my numbers went up so I did spark some growth. Arms, like every week...

    Building the Bridge

    I hit some chest on Tuesday. My shoulder wasn't feeling too bad. I made an effort to stretch after my warm-up and in between each of my press sets. This helped a great deal. If the week off doesn't cause this to stop I'm certain the lighter weight will help during the 3 weeks in march. After a...

    Building the Bridge

    Sunday was LEG day. After some needed rest on Saturday I felt revived and ready to go. I found myself a little drowsy when arriving at the gym yet excited to hit some heavy weight. It was a strange combination and I knew for this day to go off without a hitch I would have to get the blood...

    So it turns out that my chest day couldn't have been that bad after all. On Thursday I was nice and sore throughout by pecs and my shoulder felt fine. I took Thursday off completely and hit arms on Friday. The only change I made was going from close-grip decline press to a regular close-grip...
