 Are you winding us up? Maybe it's a caveman thing, they needed to be able to rely on extra arm strength at short notice ... you know, when dragging very large animals back to the cave or something?Genetic freak indeed  |

Sounds good, TP... its awesome to have that kind of motivation with such little sleep, too. Thats a great sign. Normally if i dont sleep well i feel like crap in the gym.
And does the cuff still bother you, or are you just being cautious? |

Yeah, the cuff still bothers me, from time to time. I can tell it ain't 100%. And its 3 days shy of a year since my surgery.
Novo, mostly I was just winding you up. Interesting that you bit.  |

That will be the glutamine no doubt
Great news though, 5/8 is a huge increase when starting from a base of 13" - I'm sure you look amazing. You go bro!  |

Novo must be getting confused about which measurement applies to what, 13" is not the measurement of my arms.

Come now, don't be so hard on yourself. I know you feel self-conscious about your skinny legs, but honestly - your quads ARE more than 13", I'm sure of it
 Hey, I had an idea. Why don't you try a super-effective herbal test boosting supp, I hear it's even more anabolic than the real thing. I'm sure you'll be able to find one somewhere ... |

Tough love baby, tough love. I happen to know you're familiar with the concept.
You ALMOST got me there, my natural girly inclination was to feel mean for winding you up and to point out that you have great legs. Learning from the best, I fought that urge  |

Well, since you and I have read the same "research" on this matter, you know that only works with the genetic superstars of this world ... born beautiful and horribly spoilt as a result! Apparently a lifetime of compliments, of being treated a certain way due to good looks, and of getting away with murder because of it ... apparently these things ruin you. Personally, I wouldn't know.
Now, if I understand it right, this doesn't apply to TP. He's self-made, not born this way So no, no neghits ... just a light uppercut aiming for his very healthy self-esteem! |

Neghits?
Hmm, fighting right back. Not falling for the feigned hurt fellings. Damn, she learns fast. Actually, though my "ouch" was not in reference to the dig against me. It was the other dig.... |

Negative hits - apparently a way to pick up hotties, through insults not the fawning compliments they are used to.
Mono was implying that by insulting your legs, as opposed to ooooohing over your upper body etc, that I was trying to chat you up  |

Picturing you speak spanish with an english (or even aussie) accent had me rolling.
Mono, that's good -- I wouldn't want you trying to "chat me up." |

Day 1, Week 2.
After a full week, my weight and waist are the same (despite all the bagels). And my arms are actually 1/8 to 1/4 smaller. Which is an interesting phenomenon, which might indicate overtraining. Must keep an eye on this. Despite this, strength was up considerably today. For example, on straight bar curls I did 138 for 8 (six last week) and then I did a drop set of 115 x 4. Next set was 155 for 6, and then a drop. The drops are because, if you recall, Monday is the intensity training day. So I added in two drop sets for bis and two for tris. Felt dandy. I think strength was up on just about every set today. One of the things I am pondering (we shall see) is that the arm-enhance 6 week plan might need to be broken up with a week of decon in the middle, to prevent overtraining, and encourage growth. I will know better, when I get there. |

Actually, I take that back. I just re-read your w/o from this morning ... if you're curling 155 with a straight bar for reps, you don't need any help from the magic kingdom. That's quite disgusting, stop it at once please

Despite the pox, the weights are lookin good, TP. How could you be overtraining this soon, though? Youve only been at it a week, and you said you were in somewhat of a detrained condition to begin with.  |

Good question.
I don't think I am, actually. Just something to take note of. Usually from excessive volume/frequency you would expect an increase in size, which is just cell volume, not true hypertrophy. However, it could just be excessive trauma, and an inability to repair. Again, like I said, just something to take note of. For now. |

Today was legs days. Same as I outlined last week. I was stronger today, working up to 10 plates per side on the leg press (haven't done that in a while). It was a good workout, and legs are starting to fill out nicely, actually.
I found a bagel place that has low carb bagels, so I had two of those after my whey. No idea what the macros are, but I'll just assume they ain't terrible. |

 What kind of leg press machine do you use? Personally my weights vary by a lot depending on what type of press a gym has. And are you leg pressing because its the least taxing leg movement? I mean, instead of doing something like squats or deadlifts. |

Deads don't hit legs much (except SLDL and hamstrings).
Squats will be saved for after the arm-enhance (as you surmissed). Usually I can work up to 12-13 plates per side, regardless of which type -- I am referring to the standard sled. |
