thanks, my workout felt really good today.
I keep forgetting to bring my camerea to work so I can get my pics. I am really busy, trying to find a new apt. to move to for december so hopefully once that is out of the way I will have a clear head to remember all the little things I have neglected to do over the past few weeks. |

Good luck with apartment searching! I know that can be a bitch. My apartment is way to expensive now (keep raising rent) but I stay because I don't feel like looking again and moving!

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I want to move to be closer to work and because my roomate is moving out december first and I don't want another roomate and I have no need, or money, for a two bedroom apt with a living room.

 . I used to work at a club in brooklyn that charged $40/hr and I saw $22 of it, so at least they were cutting me half. If I go to someones apartment to train them or take them to a provate training gym I charge them the full $70 and get it in cash. There are other really high society clubs that charge a lot of money.Quote:

No one will train legs with me anymore, and it is even rare that anyone will treain anything with me. I have burned out everyone in the gym and they clain they just can't keep up with me. It kind of sucks because I would love to have a spot on all my sets of squats. Oh well. Today was a brutal workout................I was having another day of depression (I have a lot of those if you haven't noticed) so I needed to get in the gym and bust my ass.....here we go: squats 225x7 (warm up...not to failure.....not even close) 275x2 (warm up) 275x2 (warm up) 315x2 (warm up) 315x3 (warm up) 365x2 (warm up) 405x1(warm up) ah, now i am ready for some working sets 275x6 225x8 225x7 185x8 185x8 135x15 straight leg deadlifts (standing on top of bench) 135x8 185x6 (now standing on floor) 185x6 185x6 185x6 185x6 185x6 seadted machine adduction 100x10 100x10 100x10 seated leg curl 155x9 155x9 155x9 lying leg curls 110x7 120x5 drop set 120x4, 100x4 leg extension plate#15x8 plate#17x6 stack x 5 seated calf raises 4 plates x 8 4 plates and one quarter plate x6 4 plates and one quarter plate x6 4 plates and one quarter plate x6 4 plates and one quarter plate x6 4 plates and one quarter plate x6 4 plates and one quarter plate x6 |

DAMN, thats a lot of squatting
 I found that when I do extensions first it really warms up my leg muscles, and is eaqsier to squat heavy. |

I don;t like extensions first because I am not able to squat heavy after them. I did 3 min. on the bike as a warm up also. I would rather just do heavy singles for a warm up and then drop down to a comfortable weight and do ass to the grass squats for reps. The heavy singles recruit more muscle fibers than the leg extensions do, so not only do the really wamr me, they fire up a lot of motor units.

It doesn't.......I am from the school that believes there is no such thing as overtraining, there is only under recovery. I am fully recovered before I train a given muscle group again, that is why everything gets hit once a week. Also, I have conditioned myself to high volume, much like a marathon runner. Marathon runners don't just start out running 26.2 miles, they slowley build up to it over the years and condition their bodies to handle a given level of stress, anything less than that given level of stress and they are just standing still. I have been training with high volume for years and it has always worked for me. I also think that most people, for some reason, really blow the whole volume thing out of the water and get so afraid of overtraining. If you do 50sets just make sure your nutrition is perfect and you get enough sleep and recovery will happen.....I hate having the volume debate on this board because peopl here are so lame about it (either that or they are just a bunch of wimps that can't train to save thier lives).

well, my client is away, travelling for the rest of the month. The other trainer girl is still around. I don;t think she likes me like that though so I don;t want to press it. I may go to this party tonight that I know she is going to be at but it it really far in the city and I don;t know if I feel like going all the way out there and all the way back. the problem is that I really, really like that girl now. Every time we talk and hang out she impresses me more.
