chest/back/traps
decided to try a max lift on bench today...felt very weak
Bench 105x0, 95x1, x1, x1
machine flys 60x8
assist. pullups -90x10
machine rows 90x8
db pullovers 35x12
HISE shrugs 60x12
10m walk

I am thinking about changing to a 2 day upper/lower lifting routine....it just seems like by the time the end of the week gets here, I just don't feel like going to the gym...lol....work/the heat is killing my energy lately...I figure I can ride my stationary bike an extra day or two....what does everyone think?

no big plans for the weekend.....getting a massage tomorrow and spending the rest of the day with Cody's Mom...it's her birthday. We will probably spend Sunday on the water

You change would be good if it keeps you active and energized. What is your goal right now?

You'll be fine with that Billie. And I so know what you mean by not wanting to go to the gym by the end of the week.



Be sure to read my blog and tell me what a fat ass I am...LOL

honestly...I haven't set any goals for myself...I'm pretty much just maintaining what I have right now...if I lose a couple of pounds, it would be ok...I've just been into doing cardio lately because it gives me energy...and don't get me wrong..I LOVE lifting weights..but after Wednesday/Thursday I just don't have the motivation to go after work!! I think I will go with a 2 day HIT thing for a while...I like Archy's plan...but I'm not sure it will work my muscles enough...is it HIT or something else??

Trust me, it will work them Plenty!!! Try doing a rest/pause on the compound exercises only, the rest are 1 set to failure!!!

Never doubt the work level of HIT...or Archie, for that matter. I think you'll be fine with it.

did a 20m walk today and also an hour bike ride.

so with a rest/pause I would do 1 set, rest for 10sec. and then do it again with the same weight? I'm thinking of trying this because the uppers routine we did was WAY too much volume for HIT!

I need to update for 2 days!

Monday was just a 20m walk
Today was Archy's workout suggestion for the upper/lower split, but we just did 1 rest/pause to get the hang of it...we will add the 2nd next week.

pec deck 60x14 r/p x9
machine rows 90x10 r/p x5
mil press mach. 60x10 r/p x4
preacher curl mach. 40x11 r/p x5
rope press 60x10 r/p x6

20m eliptical!

we really liked the rest/pause workout....seemed to give us a better pump than regular HIT THANKS ARCHY!!!

Thats what I've been doing and I enjoy it...I do 3 rest pauses and man it is AWSOME! Nice and slow plenty to get the fibers going and def hits the CNS!

Yea so like on this workout it should have looked something like this:

Leg press - set r/p set r/p set
leg ext. one all out set to failure (true failure)
leg curls one all out set to failure (true failure)
standing calves one all out set to failure (true failure)

Now that workout should go pretty fast...do your leg presses 10 seconds r/p another set 10 second r/p another set then right from there you jump into the leg ext w/ an all out set to failure then right from there jump into the curls and so on. After your major movement it should be like one big superset. The entire time keeping a good cadence and strict form!

Its suppose to go rest pause on the compound movements and all out set of failure on the isolation work.
