There was a guyin the gym the other day. He did nothing more than partials. Legs barely broke the 45 degree plane. he got to one 'set' of 315...made his grunts...then walked off...and left the bar loaded....ass-clown. I decided to be nice and unload them... |
You are too nice.........Those guys make me laugh too

And yes, as Burner said above, it is fun to people watch at the gym. I like the people that crank our 15 pullups real fast, but their head only goes about 4 inches below the bar. That's my favorite.
I live northeast of Howell, so Walldocks is probably 10 or 12 miles. If you find Ironwood Golf Course on a map, I live right near it. We ended up getting our tree from Broadview, which is in Highland. |

| I've got a better one for ya....i've belonged to 4 different gyms in the last 5 years of my training, and I have seen only ONE other person besides me doing deadlifts!!! And I will admit, I didn't start doing them until last year, but at least I do them now. Now that is crazy! I see a "few" people squat, but NO ONE deadlifts, it's crazy.... |

And how did you manage a DROP on your pullups? And here I am thinking you are the pullup king! Come on, don't let me down, you'd better get at least 21 RP next time around Other than that, great job, I don't know if I can handle all that in one session...I mean 8 sets total for just legs last night and I was about ready to drop dead, and here you are going from chest, to back, to legs, damn better you than me on these full body workouts! |
I was pissed on getting only 17....I'll do 21 next time

Then again, friend of mine maybe not. Was talking with a woman in her 40's. She was with a trainer for 6 weeks. THe trainer put her on a solid plan. Gave her a detailed workout, with what exercisesto do, hat order to do them, etc. After 6 weeks, she was on her own....after doing the SAME workout... She no longer knew what to do...blamed the PT... what? (m response) she gave you everything, explained everything and u did the same workout consisstantly (more or less) for 6 weeks...and it's 'her' fault for you not paying attention and learning.... there was a point I was making? hmmm.....need cafeine.... |

I was pissed on getting only 17....I'll do 21 next time Thanks for the props. I like the full body workouts...........I sweat my ass off everytime. Throwing in the plyos and jump rope at the end just kicks it up a notch too |

I kind of like the idea of starting with a lower weight and perfect form, rather than trying to increase the weight all the time to reach near failure on the final set of 8. Seems safer to do it your way.

I'm multi-tasking today The key to the 20 rep squat set is to use a weight than you normally would do for 10 reps but do 20. I guarantee that if you truly use the same weight but perform 20 reps you will not find a harder exercise You will be breathing like a SOB and your legs will feel like boulders. (Don't that sound like fun)

It's a good way to guage your progress and alter your goals as you go.

. I think that way of judging progress would be a safer alternative to piling on more weight each time.

Let me know how you like it. Look up "breathing squats" .... I think you'll like 'em.

Is that possible? Or does severe tendinitis feel like a fracture? Anyway, no more dips for me for a while How do you like doing the BW dips after you were doing BW+90 with your other workout? Do you find it easy as cake? I know when my elbow was good, when I stripped the weight from my dips, I felt like a feather floating that's how easy it felt. |
That sucks though about your elbow. Take it EZ ( I know ... that's easier said than done )

I'll try that next week.

I'll be taking 2 classes next term to I may switch to a 2 day a week HIT approach with one or two days of sports (one football and one basketball). We'll see how I progress. I've made some gains already but my gains are starting to stall. |

I'm looking forward to training tonight. I'm glad you liked the 20 rep squats Thanks....I'm going for at least 225 x 16 today
