Thread: ID's TP-PT Log

Close Grips just started going up recently. Was having a hard time with 155x8. Then one day I was feeling really good and threw on 185 and pumped out 8. It is a big mental thing alot of the time, especially without having a training partner.

I think it is the good beer and Hockey.

Man... i just started watching hockey this past season. Was never really interested before hand... then i saw how friggin brutal it is!

I had no idea that teams actually had "enforcers" whose sole purpose was to chase people down and punch them in the face.

It's my new favorite sport!

Watch some Lacrosse, Then you see some Violence.

I like rugby

Better than silly Canadian sports!

Well that is me done with TP-PT. Things went pretty well until the beginning of Phase III. Motivation and Diet slipped (allowed a few more cheats.) Was very happy with measurement changes during the first two phases. Haven't done measurements post phase III yet, Will tonite. Did some measurements during for the heck of it. Strangely, there were no signifcant changes to measurements, they held there position, but we will see tonite.

All in All was a good test of the mind, really demanding during Phase I and III to complete and stay focused. Anyway will post measurements comparisons when they are completed. This week will be a light week with a couple of workouts thrown in, and diet so-so, with the long weekend coming up. Then it will be time to tighten things up again.

Thanks TP for the experience, learned alot about my body and how it reacts to different workout stimulus, and that my squat still sucks I hope my info will help you out with your article

Thanks
Iain

Have you decided on a new split?

Nope not yet. Will Work on that before the long weekend.

WTF are you doing on so early?

My home comp is working again

Interesting... looks like phase 1 worked out best for ya. It's a little strange to see that in phase 3 you lost another lb but seemed to have gained a little fat. Can you take measurements again next week? Im kinda curious to see if theres any rebound from the end of phase 3.

Didn't you read this paragraph?

I'm Confused. I gained a pound in Phase III. My diet was weak on the Weekends.
