That's not a bad idea IMO. I did something similar to that awhile back and liked it. The main idea is it changing every week which your doing, and IMO with more time between the Power weeks you lessen your chance of injury quite a bit!


I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

But in your case, I wouldn't rule out
Thats what I call them, but they do kinda ache like you mention. They just won't let me stay still though

Always thankful for your input Rock!!! I love changing up with the P/RR/S, and couldn't agree more on the lessen the injury chances!!! Although, I do love Power week. Makes you feel good to put up some good weight sometimes

Power week is always my fav! But I found doing it every 3rd week was killing my tendons. I think your on to something here

Yeah, I always feel it in my right shoulder and left elbow after Power week. Was reading the stickie about P/RR/S and saw Gopro mention something about that split. So I figured I'd give it a shot

No actually, I have more the "shitty" leg syndrome where I am falling down when I try make sudden moves. Then the "shitty" arm syndrom, when I am trying to get up but fall on my face laughing my ass off...

For a second I thought you were going to talk about the day after really heany squats...you know, where it hurts to sit down on the toilet, and then is nearly impossible to get back up...maybe it's just me...

Dude, all the toilet seats in my parents house are these transpent hard acrillic/expoxy resin deals that are formed with Dead seahorse and sea shells in them (ocean stuff )

You know, you always hear that saying in the movies "There are things worse than death"

I think they were refering to what happens to the seahorses that my parents sit on when they dump

Damn those are some heavy weights! I can only aspire Angel. Regardless of lack of focus and drive, looks like a good w/o. And as always, you went and did it and completed it. That's what counts. That is what stands you apart from "normal" people who woulda quit or not even showed up at the gym


I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Looks like a good wo to me, especially since you did it in 50 minutes. If focus and drive are a regular problem, I suspect you are doing too many movements/sets. In the above wo for example I would probably drop either bent over rows or seated rows and alternate them week to week. Same with shrugs and upright rows. That should make it easier to fo
