LOL I'm soooo excited about this.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what results we can all get from this program.
Same happens to me when I do legs for the first time (especially squats) Keep stretching them!! Maybe take a warm bath or shower also. I hope you do keep coming in here! What kind of rice are you cooking? Is it better than Brown Rice? Is it as good for you as brown rice?
But I'm recomping and still need to get rid of my stomach, just not in the hurry I was in before. I'm starting the new Carb cycling diet on Monday also. Till then I'm just hanging loose.

Originally posted by rock4832 Alright, first day of new Workout! Nice day, very easy ( I know that will change soon). I didn't rush through the exercises either, took about 50min. I liked the exercises. Wide Grip Pull-up, 2 sets- 10x6 0x8 BB Row Underhand, 2 sets- 135x8 145x7 Leg Curls, 2 sets- 140x8 140x7 BB Curl, 2 sets- 75x8 85x6 Hammer Cable Curl, 2 sets- 30x9 40x9 Sitting Calf, 2 sets- 140x6 140x7 BB shrug, 2 sets- 205x9 225x9 This is a good w/o to find my rep ranges and weights. I have a much better idea where to start next time. |

Originally posted by rock4832 No I don't drink coffee. I never take caffeine except when I was doing the ECY stack. |

Originally posted by yellowmoomba What's "iron cardio"?? Your workout looks good. I'm doing it this afternoon!!

Good luck with your w/o this afternoon!

Originally posted by rock4832 Thanks CQ! I think we all are going to make great progress! Training day 2, Low Carb Day Squat, 2 sets- 135x9 145x9 Leg Ext, 2 sets- 150x9 165x9 Incline BB, 2 sets- 175x9 185x5 Cable Crossover, 2 sets- 50x9 60x5 Military DB, 2 sets- 65x7 55x8 CG Bench, 2 sets- 135x8 140x9 Rope Pressdown, 2 sets- 90x9 80x9 Great workout again, still getting weight down though. W/O took about 45min today, I was in no rush. I tried to practice form for "Iron Cardio" for tomorrow also. That will be interesting.

Originally posted by rock4832 Not necessarily X. I think it depends on your goals and how your body responds. I don't lose fat easily and my diet is a bit looser now that I'm not competing, so I'm trying to make up for it. |
|
Originally posted by rock4832 Did you do descending reps? And I guess you did it from the hang? |
|
Originally posted by Twin Peak Not during phase I. I typically do 2 warmup sets per bodypart, then 1 "acclimation set" on the second exercise. But during Phase II, I use 3-4 warm up sets. |
|
Originally posted by rock4832 But do you think it's as effective as the other cardio I've been doing? I would expect to at least be out of breath after sets but my muscles seemed to run out of steam before my cardiovascular system. |
That's going to be torture!
I only use the bar though so I make it more aerobic. 
. Did descending reps. When I got to the second 12 rep I only got 11 with 60sec rests inbetween. But when I get to like 6reps and down it's too easy, even when I drop the rest time to 30sec.
Only wish I didn't have to start it at 5:30 in the am.
I don't have any pain from the last workout, need to hit'em harder next time I guess.
Be careful on it!

Originally posted by PreMier Heh, when I first got into football in HS the seniors would tell us to get on the neck machine. Then they would make us go hardcore. They said it would make our necks HUGE like theirs... needless to say, for the next 2 weeks every sophmore that played ball, couldnt turn their head at ALL. It was such a PITA, but I so did love that machine. |
. Still going to do cardio though (Long as my body can handle it and this program.) You bulking with me?
But it's good to because I know I really have to develop my ab muscles more anyway.

Don't worry I won't tell anyone

Originally posted by IainDaniel That is what I am leaning to, like I said before, I am seriously craving adding some muscle. I think I have a disorder, I know I am far from being big, but all I see is scrawny and fat.

and will be when I start

Originally posted by PreMier Im not HUGE! Your bigger than I rock, and your measurements PROVE it. |
|
Originally posted by rock4832 Yeah, he's huge compared to me too. I just started M1t and 4AD on Saturday. I'm also going to take a mass gainer (1,250 cals per serving). I'm excited to see the results of all of that. The M1T I'll take till the end of phase one. |

Originally posted by CaptainDeadlift With RI's that short, it's no wonder some of the later exercises suffered. |

Originally posted by rock4832 This made me a little wary of the coming weeks
|
I felt the same way after mine today. 
|
Originally posted by rock4832 But it's still good for what we are doing right? |
|
Originally posted by rock4832 I don't see how you can fit that in w/out rest being under a min. |
i'm feeling great so far this week...workout took me 50 minutes. i'm gonna try to speed it up a bit or else i seriously see a few 2+ hour workouts in my future.
I'm thinking of splitting it into 2 workouts.
But I still like doing them even at that weight, I definately feel it in my legs!
But that's why all my posing looks funky, my back is messed up. I need to learn how to compensate for that.
|
Originally posted by rock4832 Thanks Premier! Yeah, I have scoliosis Var and I really shouldn't be doing sqauts and haven't done'em in a loooong time. So I just need to go really nice and slow with the weight or my back starts to do funky things But I still like doing them even at that weight, I definately feel it in my legs!
|
Are you just now noticing the VBB thing? Maybe that's why It didn't look like you were doing anything and my ratings kept getting lower. If your ready to be serious again I could take you back under my wing!
I just kept forgetting to bitch at you about it Yeah, for some reason my char was having a hard time too and I couldnt really make any gains while we were partners... my guys doing lots better now, back in the top 5% Theres some whacky stuff with that system still... because he jumped from 20-30% to 5% in one day Either way, I'm not sure if using partners is the way to go since there could be some bugs. Thats the only thing I can think of that would have been that damaging to both of our playas.

But my elbows are killing me. Luckily I only have Legs and CG Bench for this afternoon. I guess no Clean Cardio this weekend She ended up leaving LOL
Tendonitis is a bitch. I wish there was ome way to help cure it... Good luck man.
|
Originally posted by rock4832 My arms are Freaking Killing me (from tendonitis)!!! Did 2nd part of w/o at 3:00. Took about 30 min. Leg Ext, 4 sets- 195x8 210x7 210x7 210x7 |
It's worth getting up at 4:30 AM!!. It's usually not to bad if I don't inflame it, but once it's inflamed it really affects my lifts.

Originally posted by Jodi Excellent job Rock. Your doing great I thought about splitting it come next week but decided not too. I'm to damn lazy to get my ass out of bed.
|
Now i'm in more pain. I think that would be fun.
|
Originally posted by rock4832 Oh, and BTW. My wife wrecked our car the other week. The damage is worse than the car is worth so the insurance company won't fix it. So we decided to buy a scooter! I think that would be fun.

Originally posted by IainDaniel I can only think of one thing that would be worth being up at 4:30 am
|
I'm tired of this with a week left (the hardest) I have to admit I didn't believe TP when he said we really wouldn't enjoy the last part of this, but I believe it now. Doing a split in one way makes it easier, but in another makes it harder too I think. Because if you do it all at once, your weight significantly drops, but if you split it your consistently doing heavy weights for ALL the sets and that wears on your body after awhile.|

Originally posted by IainDaniel Looking Good Rock! Like CD said, Think of the positives

Yeah, you just keep saying and come back to me in a few weeks. I'm fine this week but next week I'm doomed, I'm not splitting 
Today's am split took about 1hour. It's wearing on me!
kEEP UP THE HARD WORK.
With the Swole and Nitrous though I keep getting painful pumps, but I love it Still can't wait till next week though!
Still got some elbow pain, but managing to get through the w/o. Very tight shoulder's the entire workout like last time. Had to keep stretching inbetween each exercise to get the pain to go away.
Can't wait for phase II Someone's squats are improving!!!
