So you failed or lost your colon at the 305?... or both? Those are still really great numbers for not having done them for awhile.
![]() |
|
yes, she seems to be rather excited indeed.
for some reason I can't open your workout file ![]() |
|
I think you have an obsession with your colon DOMS. It's as almost as if you want to see it fly out of you. Still, good work on those deads, still way better than I could do.
|
|
Hey DOMS - good to see you're back at it!
New program looks tough, watch out for those heavy skullcrushers. I swear they are the cause of my elbow pain. |


|
Thanks, Sam. I'll keep an eye on them. I have heard that heavy Skullcrushers can mess up the elbows. It's seems to happen to some and not to others. I hope I'm one of the "not to others."
|
|
I think it's all about form. Keep them elbows tucked!
Nice work there, btw. |
|
Couple questions about your routine
1) What do you mean by "supramaximal hold"? Is that when you lower the BB to your chest for an 8 second count and then push up for one rep? 2) How does a partial bench press work? How far down do you go and what is its significance? 3) I noticed there are a lot of upper body work and rarely any leg work. Why is that? |
|
Ohh...I like this new program. It looks pure evil. A DOMS speciality. Great job on the tripples!!!!
|
|
Colon expulsion, siezure, exploding appendix, combustable head....... What exactly do you do for a living Dr Moreau, er, sorry DOMS...
|
|
pardon my French...but holy shit that's one ass-kicking workout! great stuff DOMS
|
|
a circuit, with 2 benching types and then pullups...I can't think of a word for that...really, I can't..
|
|
Oh my dear God - 2 sets of 50 reps Bench after a heavy bench day yesterday??
Wow. Looks like this is another of those programs that's going to give you stupendous results, no? ![]() |
|
DOMS, if you need i have a connection in the health industry(son in law is a doctor) we can find you a new colon if need be. so you just go to town and dont worry about it.
that workout looks like it could be pretty interesting, good luck. |
|
1/2 Dips are simply the dips done only in the upper 6 inches of the ROM.
|
|
TSP - Bench - Day 2: Ouch
Today's workout was all about active recovery. The idea is to do very high reps of light weight to get a pump. The pump helps to speed up the healing by quickening the removal of waste and brining into more nutrients for rebuilding. In other words: ouch. I was suppose to do 2 sets of WG Pull-ups, but that just isn't going to happen today. As it was, I had to break the first set into three smaller sets, with 30 seconds between sets. DB Bench Press 50 @ 20 50 @ 20 WG Pull-ups 20 @ BW (assisted) 15 @ BW (assisted) 15 @ BW (assisted) 09/01/2008 |

wow....very VERY impressive....that looks so brutal I am at a loss for words

|
I see now what you meant by taking a look at your next workout...nothing like 50 rep bench pressing and 50 reps of pullups
![]() |
|
Explosive pushups? I call these pylo's. Have you done them clapping DOMS? One of my favourite exerices, really helps stregnth I find.
|
|
Make them harder by raising your feet on a box about 1-2ft off the round..... a real whipper.
|
|
I have done the clap version of these. I'm calling them Explosive Push-ups because that's what Chad calls them in his book.
I'm already do a variation of them. When my hands leave the ground, so do my feet. ![]() |
|
Holy shit, that must take some upthrust, plus you'd need to really tense your whole body. I like the sound of this.
What sort of height do you get to, at the apex of the upwards motion? |
|
The burn, and pump, for those 100 reps was nuts. After the 30th or so rep, it was all about willpower.
Yes, I'm betting that I'll get really good gains from this. The first routine of Waterbury's that I did, The Waterbury Method, paid off well. I have the same expectation from this routine. Buying his book is really paying off. |
|
I didn't mean to do it that way, it just sort of worked out that way.
When my arms are fully extended, and the apex of my "jump", I can clear about 6 inches under my palms and just a bit less than that under the tips of my toes. It's not much, but I do weight between 210 to 215 pounds. |
|
Is it full of new workout/program ideas, or just new and technically challenging ways to hurt yourself?
![]() |
|
Yeah, that's pretty good going, especially for that weight. I'm still wondering how you manage to get your feet airborn too. 6-12" is around what I do, depending on how I feel, and how much is still left in the tank, and i'm a lot lighter.
A great movement by all accounts. |
|
Its funny your weakest position on the bench is my strongest position. GJ on the dips D.
|
Thanks, Billy! They're pretty damn fun.
|
This wo method looks pretty interesting.... I'll have to read up on it .
|
|
shitty about forgetting the triset/circuit there, but it still looks like a killer workout, man
and another 100 reps on the DB BENCH...got it right this time around, yeah! killer stuff! |
|
Oops. I missed that. WB you're right, it's 20 pounds at 2 sets of 50 reps.
|
|
Man, 50 reps of anything sounds exhausting. Very interesting workouts there Doms
|
|
so, if you lose count, do you stop and start all over agian? lol. no, really, do you get bored while you are doing these? i have a hard time doing 15 reps before the the boredom kicks in.
|
|
how many days a week is this program, and how long did the last couple workouts take?
|
|
Fucking hell, and i thought i was doing high reps. You are a kielbasa to my cocktail sausage, Master DOMS.
|

![]() 50 reps is waaaay above my usual amount. I usually keep it in the 3-10 range. |
|
It's good to chuck in very high reps every now and again. I did a 40 rep bench once, just to see if i could really, and i swear i couldn't push doors open for 4 days!!
|
|
Looks like youve been limiting yourself, you seem to be handling this insanity well enough, dude!
|

|
Except for being unemployed, things are going pretty damn well. Well...expect for my left elbow...
You told me to watch out on the Skullcrushers, and I did. I have a little bit of pain in my left elbow, but I'm not sure if it's from the Skullcrushers or an injury. I'll have to keep an eye on it. |


|
[b]
I only did 1 set of Squats because at the final rep of that set, I popped the only button on my shorts, my shorts dropped to my knees, and went into a laughing fit. Which almost made me drop the bar. I usually wear elastics shorts. ![]() |
|
Try fish oil for the joint pain its like 10 dollars a bottle at Costco and take around 15 a day.
trust me |
|
My cousin lost her job in salt lake and it really crushed her she was a broker. Wishing you a great year to come everything happens for a reason.
|
|
Fish Oil and glucosamine sulphate did wonders for my joint pain, really good stuff.
|
|
Good work DOMS! you just passed a big hurdel. Good work on the whole button poppin!
|
|
Hmm, the thing with Skullcrushers is that everyone keeps banging on 'form, form, form. You've got to have strict form otherwise you'll get injured.'
You know what? I think Skullcrushers is just one of those things that causes problems, kind of like Upright Rows. I can recommend Emu Oil and Glucosamine gel for elbow pain. You'll get it out of most health food/supplement shops i would imagine, although i hope you recover fully before you need it - obviously ![]() Laughed out loud at the fact that you popped your button on your shorts - hilarious ![]() And nice one on the BW Pullup, may there be many more to come! |


|
That's not a good reason to stop an exercise. Forget about the shorts and keep squating!

|
You load up the bar with 125% of your PR. Then you un-rack it, put a slight bend in your arms, and hold it for 8 seconds, then re-rack it.
|
|
nice tri-setting above, man
|
|
i guess i better start working out alittle harder, that is better than getting a gold star any day.
![]() |

|
that depends on who your workout partner is!!!!!
![]() well now that i think about it, maybe not. |
katt will be maaaaaaad
|
It's my favorite. I usually workout in the 3-6 rep range. Though I usually don't go below 3 reps.
|

|
Excellent workout DOMS. Looks typically punishing.
I think you deserve this... ![]() |
|
Because that's what you enjoy, or...?
When I do 3 of something it's usually because I couldn't do 4 (often-times anyway). If I did 8x3, for example, I'd have to be stepping the weight as I went. You going for mass/strength/endurance? Are you happy w/results? |
|
I do the 3-6 rep range because I like it and it has worked for me pretty good so far. I do make a point to go outside of that with various routines. HIT being one such routine.
My goal is strength and mass, with strength being foremost. Happy with the results of low rep or this routine? Which ever it is, I'm happy with both. This routine has brought me to the level where I can do Dips and Pull-ups unassisted. |
|
I also get the most out of 3-6 range. Its great for strength and mass, but when the calories are cut, the strength goes to poopoo.

lawl
same here. 3-6 is also great because you can avoid getting any kind of conditioning with those reps. Breathing sucks! |
|
nice work out. I also like the 3-6 rep range. All those sets with ur 3 rep max sounds like a nice mass builder.
|
|
Absolutely hunny
![]() Nice going with these super-tough workouts. You're going to be a proper he-man soon enough! I threw a couple of the spectacular 10 x 3 's from your previous program into my training for Bench and Squats today. Worked pretty well, i enjoyed it. I did acknowledge your expertise in my journal although im sure everyone here knows that if they see a crazy workout it's been through the minds of at least one of you or Goob! |

Dreaming...
For the last few weeks, I've been having a lot of dreams about being in London. |
|
Dreaming...
First off, I should point out that I've never been to London. Not once. For the last few weeks, I've been having a lot of dreams about being in London. Which, in itself, is kind of weird. I don't usually have dreams. I usually, upwards of 95% of the time, have nightmares. Now, before you say something like "Having nightmares that often is a sign of...", stop. I like my nightmares. I've liked them since I was young. So for over two decades, I've trained myself to have nightmares instead of dreams. Anyway, I keep having dreams about being in London and now I feel driven to go. Which is pretty shitty considering the USD/EURO exchange rate. The dreams are pretty simple affairs. I'm near some old double-story cottage-type building and I'm trying to help someone do something. Most of the details are lost to me. I don't usually put too much credit, or even interest, in dreams, but I've never felt driven by dreams before. So I've to plan a way to London. I really hate dreams. |
| YouTube Video | |
|
Interesting supersetting there Doms...
![]() Yeah, the exchange rate for the dollar to Euro really sucks.. we wanted to go to Spain, but by the time we figured the exchange rate it was going to be way to expensive right now. I hope it evens out soon. ![]() |

I mean 3-6 range is a fantastic way to train, but only when the calories are high. Jodi said that when we cut calories to trim up, you don't lose much muscle size, but your strength takes a huge hit. I realized she was dead on accurate on my last cut. Cutting calories killed my strength in many lifts, some up to 20%.
So in short, when eating maintenance calories= range or lower, it might be better to lift 5-8 or 8-12 range. Even better I guess would be to variate periodization. It seems doing 3-6 range every week was fantastic for strength as long as I was way over maintenance calories. |
|
very nice workouts DOMS
|
The perfect song!|
how do you like the face down side raises? thats a pretty good weight for that exercise. did your shoulders feel it today?
|



he probably has something else in mind...unless your going to to insult him while he...oh never mind....
|
Good thinking. You seem to have a good momentum going, the last thing you want is an injury!
Are you icing it and stuff? Or isnt it as bad as all that right now? I hate joint pain, you never know if its serious or not, lol. |
|
Owie
![]() Actually im really loving them. I've never lifted something for just 2 reps so i imagine people looking over thinking WTF is she up to, but its really tough and by the 9th and 10th set im wiped out. |
Considering some of the stuff that I do, I could only imagine some of the looks I would get if I worked out at a public gym.|
Are you really coming to London DOMS? I could help you learn the perfect insults to make people get out of your way on the street and on the tube
![]() I don't live in a 2 storey building though, but i do need help to paint the living room ![]() |
