Well maybe for a young buck like you but when you're as old as i am and your mental facilities are failing you it's a diff story

I'm sure its the drop in calories . Haven't been this low in a year . won't be this low for too much longer a few weeks at most

Rocco32 · 03-18-2005, 01:15 PM

LiftinBear · 03-18-2005, 10:48 PM

Hey Gary,
Curious about the amount for sets you do for Wg Pulls compared to v-bar?

LW83 · 03-19-2005, 07:50 AM

Have a good one Gary!

Hey Bear,
just something from my Max OT days. There are 8 sets on Wg , 3 sets are warm up , 2 sets are "weight acclimation" and then 3 Working sets. So in reality there is only a 1 set difference if you just count the working sets .

Hope I didn't confuse you more with my explaination

starting good so far ! Down to 180 lbs this morning ( thats a 9 lb loss in 4 weeks ) and waist is down to 32.5 ( down another inch in 4 weeks !)

If I don't have the abs I have dreamed of by 4-16 I'll be damn close

The love handles are killing me, I may break down and get some ab-solved again. I used it last year and it worked great for me.

LW83 · 03-19-2005, 08:01 AM

180 in the mornin? I'm shooting for about 185 in the morning. I'm at like 174.5 right now

I'm jealous. I'll meet you in the middle brotha'
