I feel like it's ready for the abuse again, I have gone back to the P/RR/S routine. However I will be doing a slight variation with advice from GoPro. I will be doing P/RR/RR/S/P/RR/RR/S etc. Now bear with me, my strength has gone caput in the last 2 weeks. I am determined though and will get the pounds back up!!! 
Anyways, here is my start: Mon-Chest/Back - Wed-Legs - Fri-Shoulders/Bi's/Tri's|

like 2 minutes at intensity 5, 1 minute at 6 , 1 minute at 7 and so on until u reach the big "10" on the intensity scale, then its back to the start...I liked it! |

You could go even lower reps on your first 1 -2 exercises, i would go 3-4 reps
I always vary my cardio. I switch between HIIT cardio and 40-60 min cardio. When I go longer I try to keep my HR lower, but I usually end up pushing myself and doing sprints in throughout and at the end.

If you can go balls to the wall with 100% intensity and fail in your first set after 11 reps, then thats a hell of a workout. On the same page, if you only use 60% intensity, and you fail just because you run out of energy, then its not a good workout, IMO. Intensity is key in my eyes, and upping intensity has helped me tremendously.
As for how you feel, its just another way to track your progress. With everything bodybuilding, your goals are affected by a huge number of variables. If you can sort-of mentally keep track, youll start to figure things out and maybe change things for the better. But good lookin out, boss. |

The second split is the one I have decided to go with. Thanks for the input!!!
When you do the T-bar row, is that supported or not?

I like the single leg press. Really makes you concentrate on the movement and muscles!!! 
For some reason, I feel a hell of a lot more vulnerable when It's a single bp movement.

Man, sounds like it would be a killer session as I'm always gassed after squats anyway!!!

I like the Push/Pull/Legs also, but was wondering if it would be better for me and weight wise, to do the Back/Delts/Traps (mixes both pull and push) and then Chest/Biceps/Triceps (again, mixes both push and pull) Maybe I shoot a pm over to GoPro Yes, I still will be doing the P/RR/S routine!!! I really like it

I love changing up with the P/RR/S, and couldn't agree more on the lessen the injury chances!!! Although, I do love Power week. Makes you feel good to put up some good weight sometimes

That should make it easier to focus since your doing 4 movements instead of 6. Just a thought.

) My Dad, who is my workout partner said, Go for it!!! So I put the extra weight on the bar, looked at it and almost said forget it. It was just so Intimidating to me 
So I backed out of the cage. Re-grouped, said a little prayer, and got back in. Man I was so HIGH(for lack of a better word) when I unracked it and it really didn't feel that much heavier than my previous 385. I did 4 Awesome strict reps, and my Dad shouted, you can do another one.......... I did 
Then as I straightened up He shouted again, I WANT ONE MORE I was just so excited.

Nothing much planned for the weekend or Valentines... actually nothing planned! lol Kids were meant to be away this weekend but are not so I will likely do something with them. How about yourself, wooing your lady on Monday? |
I'm cooking Dinner for her and then we are going to see "The Phantom of The Opera" We have seen the play 3 times, and we both loved it. So we are going to see the movie now Hope you have a GREAT one yourself

Nice to meet another Phantom fan

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." "I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker 'fore you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin', it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin'. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd." |

That was a great flick! I mean, it wasn't quite as good as his first, but still, I loved it!
