DB -

That's impressive that you weigh 173 and are pressing
130 Dumbells!!

Good job!

DeadBolt · 04-20-2004, 10:59 AM

NO NO NO heh I wish I was!

All the weights are totals not indiv. dumbells.

I have only been seriously training for a short time so I know my lifts wont be as impressive as some of the people who have been doing it for years here.

Monolith · 04-20-2004, 11:03 AM

OMG

LOL, i thought he was pressing 130lb DB's too!

You gonna switch to P/RR/S 2 when it comes out, Deadbolt?

That's what I heard also. I thought you might have the "inside track" to the info

I've been checking out this site for some new exercises!!

DeadBolt · 04-20-2004, 11:13 AM

Well I have just started this program so I wanna give it a few weeks, was thinking running the 3 week cycle maybe 2 or 3 times. Just because I am not new to working out because I have been doing it seriously for sometime to where I can get around the gym quite comfortably but I still don't know everything I want to know. I figure this will help me to develope some of my lagging lifts and get me familiar with some new ones I have never done yet...but once I am comfortable with this routione I would love to try part 2.

Yea I wish I could press the 130's but hey I have to set a goal somewhere rite so it matters well be the last weight on the rack in my gym heh! I was happy with finally pressing 135 on the incline cause I had the 45's on but now that is like small fries to what others are pressin around me.

I tried it for 8 weeks P/RR/S/P/RR/S/P/RR

I thought it was great!! I'm sure your weights will keep going up if you stay commited to the program. Lots of people around here are using his program.

Monolith · 04-20-2004, 11:21 AM

Yeah, i did P/RR/S for a long time. I eventually modified it to P/RR/RR/S, which seemed to work a lot better for me.

Shopping it to magazines? Ugh. Magazines have one thing in mind, selling ad space. They sell ad space primarily to supplement companies. These ads are "strategically" placed right before and after the articles detailing these so-called great routines.

So what's my point? Magazines want you to fail so you'll buy the supplements that pay to advertise. They want you to use these routines because they know they won't work and the first thing you'll do is go out and buy the latest "Cell Tech 2004 Ultra" or whatever else they're pushing.

I'd love to see the routine and I'd love to see I'm wrong. But the rule of thumb is that if a magazine publishes it, it's a gimmick.

What do you think of the P/RR/S approach? It seemed to work for a bunch of people around here. Check out the training or online journal section for more info ...

Saturday Fever · 04-20-2004, 11:56 AM

I'd be curious to know how long the people here had been working out before they adopted the routine. But in fairness, I will do my homework and read up on the routine. Like I said, I'd love to see I'm wrong.

You are oh so wrong heh, just teasin. I have been lifting for about 2 years only seriously for the past year through the help of people here at IM. I have experimented with many different routines and splits and have come to a time where I am still making gains but I am leveling off with how I use to gain.

I hope to show in this journal some gains after I finish a few cylces of this routine. I purposly waited to do a specific routine like this so people couldn't say "oh you are still new to lifting so anything would work for you". I want to see if it truely works or not so I am experimenting with myself here.

Hey there SF! Believe me this program is not a gimmick at all! The fact that a mag WANTS to publish it is irrelevant to whether or not it works! Give it a try... BELIEVE ME, you will become a P/RR/S groupie too! GP is a genius... shhh! Don't tell him I said that, it will go to his head.

I have had GP as a trainer for over a year now and he put me on the P/RR/S program a couple of monthes ago. The results are great! He doesn't push anything except HARD WORK!!

Well, since its MY program I guess I might as well chime in here. I have been a personal trainer, strength, and contest prep coach since 1990 and have used all of my experience and research to come up with the P/RR/S program which I began to develop and use on myself several years ago. Once I saw the incredible improvements I made to my own physique I next used it on a client that was preparing for his first bodybuilding competition. His results were even more startling than my own as he won the show and is now one of the best natural middleweights in the country. After this I started using P/RR/S with all of my clientele and introduced it on the web. From there is just exploded as so many people started using it and giving me astounding feedback. I decided to write an article on it and both Musclemag and Ironman magazine wanted to publish it (it ended up in MM). Now, I have further refined and tweaked the program and it is even more efficient at building muscle than before. I am planning on writing a book on the program or just doing a series of articles on it for Ironman. A website will be next and perhaps a video. I have been using P/RR/S on myself for over 3 years straight now and will always train this way b/c progress is continuous. You can look at the thread in the training section called Gopro Workouts to see all the comments on the program and how much its helped people.

I assure you that my program is no gimmick, but a tried and true approach to successful body transformation.

If you try P/RR/S MAYBE I will consider posting the full sized pics!!

Saturday Fever · 04-21-2004, 06:37 PM

How about if I try it, you WILL post them. I'll start it up on Monday if we have a deal.

DeadBolt · 04-21-2004, 08:47 PM

Today was my back day and deadlifts are getting pretty fun!

Deadlifts
135x6
155x5
155x5
***This is only my second time doing them so I want to keep proper form before I start loading some serious weight.

Bent over row(machine cause no bars were available)
160x6
180x5
180x5

Chin Ups
6 w/ assistance on last rep
repeat
repeat

CG Seated Row
135x6
150x5
150x5

Shrugs
Barbell
155x10
165x8
165x8
Calf machine
280x10
300x10
320x8

I skiped legs today and went to back b/c of my sprained ankle and hopefully I will be able to do them saturday! I love that day now heh. My weights are kinda weird b/c I've done some of the lifts but others I never have so they are really up and down. I hope to level them off so my core lifts surpass my minor lifts.

I was kinda mad I was unable to do the bent over row with the BB or even the lever thing. All of them were full cause I got to the gym late and it was packed. Hopefully next time I will be able to do them with anything but the machine b/c I know I wont be able to put that much weight up
