Well, with only 30 second RI's I would say your chin ups are not that bad. I bet if you went to 90 seconds or 2 minute RI's you would be banging out a lot more.

Why such sort RI's? Hypertrophy RI is around 3 min, and strength RI is even more with lower reps....

Total ownage.

I need the variation. I get sick of doing the same old shit, and 30s RI kicks my ass all over the gym. I guess I do it just to push myself. I get a hella burn from it.

fufu

Fucking crazy squats, lawl. Do you feel like passing out and puking during the end and/or during that??!

Lawl, yeah squats got mine beat. I doubt I could do 2 back to back sets with 225 x 10 with only a 30 sec RI. I need at least a 1-2 minute RI.

Total ownage.

Bakerboy

^ Yeah, I agree 30 seconds rest would beat me up at almost any weight. Do you plan to keep your RI's that low and slowly move up the weight or are you going to increase your RI's to something more sane? You are one crazy KIKI!

Today was the last 30s RI day for this cycle. Next week I will be pushing 12-15 reps with 2 minute RIs. the next week I will be pushing 5-8 at 3 minute RI then 1-5 at 4-5 minute RI.

BigDyl

Lawl you do realize by the time you rack the bar, get out from under the bar, take approximately 3 breaths, it's already time to unrack the bar again, because 23 seconds is up... roffle

Total ownage.

KelJu

True, but I rarely change the weight.



I guess I am about to start 6 day deload. This is not my choice, but school is kicking my ass right now, and I need to play catch-up on a few assignments. I sold the the last of my pot to my one of my friends, and I won't be posting on IM until everythign is done.

fufu

Deloading is a must. I always take a week off every 4 or 5 weeks. Good decision on your part.

I have a bunch of school assignments stacking up as well. Tommarow I only have once class so I should be able to get a good chunk done.

1.5 mile Run - 11:10.13

Ok, I lied. I can't refrain from surfing IM. My jog went good his morning, but I am tired of snotting everywhere. My nose starts running at about .2 miles and doesn't stop until 30 minutes after I stop running.

fufu

lol, I remember during cross country runs where I would get a shit load of spit pooled in my mouth and I didn't want to spit or swallow(ghey sounding I know) because I didn't want to mess up my breathing rhythm. Eventually I spit it out but it was all hanging from my mouth. It was silly. Actually I don't know if that ever happened, but I seem to recall it.

I don't know anything about breathing techniques, but I really need to learn. I start sucking wind and weezing like a mofo at about .5 miles.

fufu

Yeah proper breathing is a huge part of distance running. I don't think I could do a very good job of explaining it via text so I won't bother. But consistancy is a big part of it.

BigDyl

How are you supposed to breath?

Total ownage.

fufu

There are several different rhymeths. Mine was like

In, in, x2out repeat.

So, two short in breathes, one long out.

I will try that tomorrow when I run.
How far could you run when you were at your peak?

Brutus_G

You know i actually find 3 sets of 7 harder then 3 sets of 12 on squats. You should try that with 30sec rests. I deload every 2-3 weeks. havent taken a week off in 3-4 months lol( i know im horrible about this my damn signature says it and everything)

The longest I ever ran was 9.75 miles at like an 8 minute pace.

1.6 mile Run - 11:54.56

I didn't seem to make much improvement from Tuesday. Would it be better to run 2 days on 1 day off or every other day? I wanted to make 2 miles by the end of the month, but I don't see that happening.



This week's deload as given me time to think about my training. I want to do something different than what I have been doing. I guess I am going to start carb cycling again. My high carb day is going to look messed up because I didn't decide to do this until 30 minutes ago.

Are you trying to lean up?

KelJu

Yeah, I am such a flip flopper. I would like to be able to drop to 210 without losing any muscle, so I guess it is back to the grind.

With a name like KelJu I always thought you would be a light weight.
