Archie! Ditto on what Katt said!Man, there are a lot of Mike Stevens! I know...only ONE Archie!
I gave up after the 1st 100.
So, you will either have to:
1) Change your name to Lenny Lipshitz
2) Add either Katt or myself or someone else so we can find ya.

Thanks Katt!!!

You gotta build up your character and mafia, ALWAYS fight a lower opponent and one with less mafia members as you, add me, and others, you will be addicted, trust me!!!

Sweet, just to be safe, I'll send you a request again!!!

ok so tell me if I'm on the right track here.... since I'm new and all

I go in and do jobs till my energy is down, then I come back later when it's restored to do more jobs.

Each time I put all my money in the bank, because I read somewhere that you can get it stolen...

when I get points, I am putting them toward energy first and then other things later..

Am I going in the right direction here? I think I'm done fighting for a while

Awesome, I personally put 2 in defense, 1 in attack, and 2 in energy for a while, you want a high defense so people cant attack you too easy!!! Also, when you buy buildings, get as many mafia mikes as you can, because they can't be robbed!!! I'm tellin ya girl, its addictive!!!

yeah I can see that... TOH wants me to quit playing it..

Hey, now I can call your workout crazy. On the incline bench, are you racking the bar during the 8 second rest?

LoL!!! Yes, sorry, should have mentioned that!!!

So is that something like the cluster reps that Stewart is doing?

Yes itis, VERY similar, mine is based on the "Rest/Pause" by Mike Mentzer, where it's your ALL out max for 1 rep, of course I do not do that much, I adjust a little lower, experimenting with it right now!!!



Anyway, been working like crazy, had no time to post until now, so here are my last 2 workouts, Mon - Back - Today - Legs

Mon:

Rack Deads (Pins right at knee level)
495x11

DB Pullovers (1 all out set)
80x11

Hi-Rows
205x7

Preacher Curls
70x14

Walked on treadmill
Incline:4.5
Speed:4.0


Today

Squats (Pins just above parallel)
505x10

Extensions
250x11

Toe Presses
350x6

DONE!!!
Walked on Treadmill : 10 Minutes
Incline:5.0
Speed:4.5

Squats... OMG, these felt HEAVY, I would do 1, and instead of racking (too much movement and would have robbed my strength) I would stand and take 2 big breaths and descend into another rep and repeat until I barely made it up on the last one!!!

Comments and or Critiques are welcome!!!

Also..............

Changing up my routine after next week, (doing chest on wed) then will be on a M,F schedule with Mondays beeing an Upper Body workout with Fridays being Lower!!!

Trying a new idea as well, what thinks you??? I will be using CG Pullups as a Bicep movement and doing them on Chest day (I suck at pullups, so thinking I will be stronger and fresher doing these on Chest day!!!

Dips for Triceps on Back day (same thinking as biceps)

So it will look like this:
Week 1
Monday
Back
Rack Deads
Pullovers
Hi-Rows
Dips
optional - Abs

Friday
Squats
Extensions
Leg Curls
Toe Presses
optional - Abs

Week 2
Monday
Chest/Delts
Incline Bench
Flyes
Overhead Press
Pullups
optional - Abs

Friday
Same as above

Rinse and repeat...........

Just an idea!!!

I don't normally use the word dude, but dude...you're a freak. Haha. Never mind squatting, I think just the act of holding 505 lbs on my back would cause my body to spontaneously collapse into a pile of goo. Haha! I don't know if that's extremely inspiring or depressing to me (considering I currently max out using about half of whatever weight you would use warm up with, LOL), but keep up the awesome work, man!
