Great wo! I have the exact same problem doing skullcrushers and one arm extensions. They are really hard on the elbows! I switched to doing DB skullcrushers, and that seems better, but in the long run they still take their toll on my joints. I've come to the conclusion for me, close grip bench, incline and declines, should form the nucleus of my tri workout, with a continuous variety of extensions and pushdowns.

JD,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try again and if same results I'll switch to something for sure.

JerseyDevil · 08-07-2004, 05:17 AM

Add to that dips, which I know you do plenty of.

gwcaton · 08-07-2004, 07:36 AM

ok , first week of prrs under my belt . Here's some feedback.

Weight down from 190 to 185. First week is always a big drop for me in the overall scheme . Usually only 1-2 pounds after that.
Bf changed less than .5% . Dropped a little over .5lb of fat.
Dropped about a 1/4 " on bi's, chest and neck. Everything else stayed the same.
Hoping to get the BF down to what I feel is acceptable with just diet and weight training. Saving cardio for a last resort.

As far as Prrs goes I'd say my first Power week was a success. Did some new exercises , even had a couple of PR's. Only drawback was not knowing for sure were to start as far as amount of weight to use and not knowing for sure how to execute some of the new exercises. But that would be true of any new thing. Rep Range week should be a little easier to figure out I hope . LOL Looking forward to rep range and then shock. Really looking forward to the second time through on each .

Anyway, today is free day. No diet , no exercise. But will try to keep track of what I eat and post it just so I can look back later and shake my head .

Thanks for the support !

gwcaton · 08-07-2004, 04:36 PM

Ok , sitting here waiting on my son to show up so I'll kill some time by listing my DIET so far today.

#1 - cherry turnover , pint of choc milk
#2 - catfish fillet , 1/4 cup cajun rice, 1/4 c cole slaw, 1/4 c baked beans, tea
#3 - Medium plain popcorn, medium Dr.P

When my son gets here we are headed for the pizza parlor ! Have to to this pizza parlor every saturday night since they opened a year and a half ago !

Alrighty, back from the pizza place. #4 - had a handful of mushrooms, 1/2 a small pizza( the works ) , tea.

Whats for snack ?

Well snack was #5 - a lean ham sandwich ( whole wheat ) and water.

So what do you think ? decent free day ?

gwcaton · 08-08-2004, 10:29 AM

leg extensions
135 x 10
145 x 8
start w/ 150 next time

hack squat
3 sets 145 x 12
VERY awkward ! Did these in the cage , backed up to the bar, lifted off the pins and squated with the bar behind me.

1 legged squats ( smith machine)
3 sets 55 x 15
HOLY SHIT !!!!! More on this later.

Lying leg curl
2 sets 90 x 8

Stiff legged deadlifts
2 sets 145 x 10
Much better form than last weeks power/legs. felt it more in the hams than last week. But still could do better form -wise.

1 leg curl
2 sets 25 x 12

Notes: 2 minute RI's. Killer wo !
Now.. take in mind I'm writing this shortly after the wo. In my current state of mind I ,for 1, think that whoever came up with the 1 legged exercises way back when should be taken out, have 1 of their legs ripped from their body and beaten to within 1 inch of their life !!!!!! Now if the "inventor" of said exercises has since passed on I think 1 of his closest living relatives should receive the punishment. A month from now I may be of the opinion that they should have a medal pinned on their chest but right now someone should throw them a beatin' they won't forget ! I can't do it myself 'cos I couldn't catch them if they started to run. J/K ! But it was intense.

I didn't mind those but check out my comment on the 1 leg squats ! LOL

Rocco32 · 08-09-2004, 12:49 PM

LOL, they are pretty intense. But they ended up being my fav exercise after a few times

Really ? When you were doing PRRS were you bulking or cutting? What were your results ?

Rocco32 · 08-09-2004, 08:06 PM

I was bulking and my lifts really went up with PRRS. But the Power week wreaked havoc on my joints.

Paynne · 08-10-2004, 11:58 AM

Hey, just checking in to say Hi. Got wrapped around a project at work and haven't been on in days

I agree about the one legged stuff. Killer. I really like it now that I'm used to it.

I never got the hang of free weight hack squats so I just cheat and use the machine.

JerseyDevil · 08-10-2004, 02:22 PM

See my new avi? You still can't tell if I'm 6 ft tall, and my real name still could be Sylvia, but at least it's something. You are a bad influence on me. First you single handedly get me to start a journal.... then talk me into posting a pic.

PreMier · 08-10-2004, 03:17 PM

JerseyDevil · 08-10-2004, 05:06 PM

Should I have said 6 ft medium tall?

How was the time off ? I can only hope I get to like the single leg stuff, it is killer. I will also get the hang of the hacks , can't let some steel getthe best of me.
