Son of a *****. I was hoping you would spend this weekend drunk and passed out at a gay bar so you would be set back a c ouple of months. And what do I find? More ****in PR's!
 
and yes, I do get off on calling one of the strongest people I know "experimental" :D

strong workout my friend... again.
 
I'm on week 2 of my cruise from DC so it's just straight sets, so i'm trying out new exercises and i'm DIEING to get back into the swing of things.
 
SB was talking about this on MMI. he believes, and i agree, that the rest pauses might be good once in a while, but on a consistent basis will lead to a quicker state of overtraining, CNS included. since i've stopped them, my straight sets have improved dramatically and i don't feel as run down.
 
fwiw, left pec is sore as can be today. feels like it was VERY close to being pulled yesterday. i still have full range of motion and i can flex it which i normally can't do when it's pulled so it must be ok, just a minor strain perhaps. we'll see what incline does to it on thursday.

hey jackass! why not take a chest workout OFF to give yourself a chance to heal instead of tearing another pec?

sometimes beelze really needs to get :bruce1:

um, no. rest assured, if it feels funny with warmups on thursday, i'll take it easy. a glute and quad tweak didn't keep me from doing squats, a pec tweak won't stop me from doing incline. stubborn? perhaps. i'll live.
 
9/5 - quads/hams/forearms/bi's/calves

135 x 8
135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 3

i'm 99% convinced that i'm dropping this type of training for a while and going back to a traditional 3-way split that i used to use. i'm not recovering fast enough. this program has beat the **** out of me. only 2-3 weeks back into it after a break and i'm ready for another one. i'm still hitting PR's and i love the training, it just doesn't seem like a wise choice for me to continue this way with how i'm feeling physically. i'll come back to it eventually but it'll at least be gone for the remainder of the year. i'll probably take the rest of this week off and start a fresh routine on monday. gotta design one first.
 
Suzy..baby... I trust your judgement. I actually admire you for not being habitual with it. Me, I can't seem to break my 5 day split..

Be interesting to see how your PR's fall with your new routine... I mean, it's pretty inhuman how you kept going up each and every workout dude.... The name of the game is adaption however... so now I'll be earnestly watching this one.
 
lol, the PR's won't change my little ubi. they were going up before DC and they'll surely go up afterwards. mark my words. ;)

That sounds like a smart plan killer. Enjoy the much needed break and recovery. I am sure your brain chemistry has got to be a little fried with all your CNS mega-stimulating. Jayhawkk siad he'd recommend some methyl flavored ice-cream with some esterfied pork rinds as part of your recovery plan. LOL

Hope you feel Great soon Bruda.
 
Mine is to scare small children and women by the mere sight of me! And since that goal has been met for years I decided to get big and strong.
 
The new training split is finally done. Nothing extraordinary but I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. DC had changed my way of training significantly and I couldn't remember how to revert back to my old way of training. But thanks to Glenihan for making the obvious, glaringly obvious. It'll be divided into weeks A and B, with the split of back/shoulders/traps, quads/hams, chest/tri's/bi's. Hopefully, this will suffice and I'll be starting today with the back workout. Looking forward to doing full range deads again. :dance:
 
9/8 - back/shoulders/traps
new program started today. back to full range deads for the first time in a long time (around 6 months). i guess all the heavy GM's, rack deads, and RDL's really helped.

135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 3

loose belt added

185 x 3
285 x 5 PR :D(chest still felt kinda funky, so i called it at 5, easy)

upright rows
95 x 8
135 x 3
225 x 12 PR:D
60 second stretch

barbell shrugs
225 x 20

ridiculous numbers. Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?

Ever dated a ridiculously hot chick? Just like that...
 
Q. Is that a wiener dog in a batman suit in your av? If so I am extremely happy when viewing that picture.
 
ktw, it's my jack russell - speedy :D did you not believe me when i said i lived in gotham?

ubi, much like jumbo shrimp and military intelligence, that doesn't make sense.

chaps, it's only gay if you like it :D
 
you rock B. i've started the same split. i thought it was more like a poliquin/staley thang. i also thought i was completely alone in the idea of using opposing muscle groups. i just fatigue so rapidly, if i do like chest & tri & shoulder, i'm NOT gonna be able to give 100% to ALL three, more 33% & 33% & 33%. just my 2 cents.
 
it could very well be one of those fellas. i didn't like the sound of chest/shoulders/tri's and back/bi's because of the reason you stated. i want to have some 'umph' left for the proceeding muscle groups. tri's isn't a big deal as chest doesn't tire them too much, the rest is pretty much good to go. it'll be fun ;)
 
yeah, i saw your log. no worries, i'm sure you'll hit it. isn't 525 still a PR? all jokes aside, you have a leverage advantage that i lack and it's only a matter of time before you pass me on deads, given you're consistent with them.

you read too much t nation.

j/k, i know lots of people who do the opposing muscle groups idea. I've tried it before but noticed no difference as opposed to normal. For some reason I feel better when my accessories are really warmed up from the heavier main work.
 
definitely a personal preference. i see it just like legs. i'll devote a session just to legs, & after i'm laying on the floor winded, i would have a hard time jumping into major back work or maxed out pressing movements. again just my way. & yeah i read t-nation years ago, after the fall of mm2k.

ya everyones different obviously, i dont do pairings like legs and back, just upper and lower with a separate back day
 
according to my very scientific geometrical calculus infested equations, it should last until i get bored with it.

:D
