Hey there YM!

I might have to take you up on that just for the fun of it

Can you imagine all the strange looks we would get??

That is a good experiment actually...I wonder if the weight on your back makes any kind of difference than it hanging by your legs....it would go for chins too....hmmm. Can you get a vest that weighs that much??

Double D · 05-15-2007, 03:42 PM

Is your repitition work with no rest? Kinda like metabolic work?

And after you get tired of doing high reps with YM, you could try me. Or maybe a max attempt.

I think you can get some pretty heavy vests but they are expensive!!! I think you would have more fun putting an attractive 105 lb woman on you and doing 10 -15 reps

Hey answer my question punk.

Hey I kinda sorta addressed your question about squatting issues, I suppose the real question is what exactly is happening?

But it wouldn't be the kind of dips that you're thinking of.

Ooops, didn't even see this question! My bad...

I am doing 60 sec between each set, but doing it in a circuit fashion. You know I don't have the best aerobic capacity out there, so this is the only way I can get away with shorter rest periods and still use a decent amount of weight.

yeah and hopefully the "set" would be more than 10-15 reps

Double D · 05-17-2007, 10:45 AM

As soon as you can get to it being a true circuit I will be truely impressed. How impressive is it to see a guy with your strength plus being in great aerobic shape!

Thanks JD....I did 365 about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I probably won't max again for a while, I am not competing or anything, so I don't see the point, but I am sure one day I will try it just to see....I always wanted to hit 4 plates, so we shall see
