ok, here is a quick question, should we be doing just one weight for all three sets working up to 12 then raising the weight. or keep doing what we are doing and adding weight on each set? i like the way we are doing it right now, but some exercises you fatigue pretty good after the second set and then only get 5 or 6 on the third set. anyways i just do what katt tells me to do.

todays w/o

115-12
140-12right side-10 left side-losing hand grip

l/f high row pull down

seated db curl
35-12
40-12
42.5-10

forearm curl bb
80-20/18

bb curl standing
80-8

some dumb ass, put a forearm curl in the middle of our bicep exercises.
thats it she is banned from writing our w/o anymore

my favorite kind of day, work out, go straight to work, days done by 2.30 pm, but then decided to go and do cardio with katt at 5 pm

i was just looking over your workouts.. why do you change things every week? why not stick with the same exercises for 2-3 weeks, and that way you can guage progress. the exercises are so inconsistent, its no wonder you are guessing on weights and reps. for example:

seated db curl
35-12
40-12
42.5-10

you have already done a lot of exercises for your back at this point, and therefor your biceps should be warmed up properly. why didnt you start with the 40's or even the 45's? i looked back at your previous back/bi days and there is no baseline on curls(or anything else). so you always seem to guess. if you want to pyramid weight, you should be going down, not up imo

this is just some constructive feedback, on what i am seeing

premier, what we have always done is just set of 6 or 8. this is the first time that we have done 12's. we actually log every w/o that we have done probably for the last 9 years. but i have only been posting here for a couple of months. but you are correct, we never do the same routine. we always do bar one day, db the next, machines after that. so we may only do the same workout once every couple of months. i think that you are right in the fact that we need to find a program and do that for a period of time and see what kind of progress we make. thank you for your input, katt and i will definetly discuss what some other options are.

no workout yesterday. i had to pickup a friend from the airport at 930 pm on tues, and didnt get home till about 1130, had to be to work at 6 am on wednesday, call me a wimp, but i wanted to get alittle bit of sleep.

10/4 w/o
legs

front squats
w/u 95-12
135-12
165-7 bar started to slip
i have to remember to wear a reg t-shirt on these days.

deadlifts
135-8
225-8
245-6

giant set
leg ext-leg curl-calves
210-12/120-12/160-20
225-12/140-12/180-18

that got our heart rate up pretty good.
but we only had about 7 minutes to get it done and get out of the gym.
only a couple more w/o's left till we go hunting.
katt pulled up our weather, and it looks like pretty much rain for the next week plus, not nice weather for us, but good weather for hunting.

It's a living thing, Brian. It breathes, it eats, and it hates. The only way to beat it is to think like it. To know that this flame will spread this way across the door and up across the ceiling, not because of the physics of flammable liquids, but because it wants to. Some guys on this job, the fire owns them, makes 'em fight it on it's level, but the only way to truly kill it is to love it a little.

Hey dead,, I think we're the only ones posting right now.. Season opens on the 10th, and I've heard that if you have an A tag (archery) that the late hunting for elk is pretty darn good, if you can drag yourself through the snow, I think it's mussleloader only though, I don't remember what the time frame is for the late archery.. probably because i only get the B tag for rifle.

You should have seen me last year,,, the other half got a cow (she was in a herd of 4) I was shaking so hard I could even hit the end cow... downhill only about 100 yards away.. I really need to work on that.. but then again, I was shooting off hand.
