you guys always know what to say....

wanted to post my workout real quick before work...I'm on 12hr shifts the rest of the week, and next week other than Christmas eve and Christmas...will catch up on everyones journals in the morning while I'm cooking for our company dinner (I'm the ultimate multi-tasker babe!)

Amen to that!

Some people touch your life and leave an impression, others don't. You won't remember him in a weeks time, if it takes that long!

I dunnno...how heavy is it and how fast can you move it? you gonna be walking or using a vehicle?

oh...you meant...ooops...

The questions is...where do YOU think you can be in three months?
You can do it scientifially:
Go back 3 months, take your max bench then with what yours is now...find your % increase...and then (let's say...20% increase) then multiply your current max by that % and that is your target...or more if you want it.

b_reed23 · 12-19-2007, 11:25 AM

I haven't max benched since early summer, and it was 105

I'm not a strong bencher, so I'm wondering what kind of approach I should take with this...bench every other week or what?

b_reed23 · 12-20-2007, 10:40 PM

well, no workout yesterday, was just feeling wiped out...sinus problems keep leaving, only to return the next day

BUT in going with Pylons theme of living in the moment....right now I am eating a whole wheat mini bagel with FF cream cheese, a small tangerine and 6oz of milk....a very small step....but a step

Brutus_G · 12-21-2007, 09:08 AM

Well several things will effect your progress.
Are you gaining muscle fast?
Steroids/phs?
Training age?
Real life age?
Arm and limb length?
Male or female?
Are you power lifting or just doing your own thing?
Muscle memory?
How bad do you want it?

My guess is 115-130 i know that's very vague lol.

what do you mean: bench every other week? Train your chest every week!
Do you mean: max every other week? NO!
near max = good. max = too much.

You seem to keep your reps in the 8-12 rep range. Do you ever drop into the 4-6 rep range? How 'bout try that a couple weeks...then cycle back to your higher rep range and repeat.

b_reed23 · 12-21-2007, 12:56 PM

I've been doing 3-6 for the last month, I just switched back to HIT for a 4-5second negative for a couple weeks...

Burner02 · 12-21-2007, 01:36 PM

did your #'s improve?

b_reed23 · 12-22-2007, 12:19 PM

on HIT?? Definenetly...we will find out about the other next week when I return to 3-6 reps

delts/bi/tri
4-5 s negatives

arnolds 20x8
rear lats 12x12
preachers 35x10
db curls 15x12
rope curls 60x12
o/h DB ext. 30x10
HS dips 90x12
v-bar press 80x12

15m eliptical...level 5....look! I did cardio!!

about 10-15m playing around with new medicine balls we have at the gym!! overhand tosses, side tosses, oblique work, etc....we have a new machine too for abs...its called ab solo....you toss medicine balls and catch them as your sitting up...pretty cool.....
I used the backboard to make it more challenging..
