Supramaximal holds serve as neuro-potentiators. You can actually lift more weight after doing them. It's not (just) mental.

How does it stay cold enough to be deep fried?

Needless to say your Monte Christo sandwich sounds absolutely fantabulous - i want one RIGHT NOW . . . . .

I hear you on the heavy Skulls. They wrecked my elbows - not good. Do you have a strap to use for very heavy work? I got one and im glad i did. I put it on right before i do heavy bench/tris and take it off again straight away. After a couple weeks i've toned it down to only using it my last couple sets.

So, do you know when you're coming to London yet?

com'on DOMS, and elbow replacement is only 15 or 20 thousand dollars.
i did a cortizone shot last summer, but it only lasted a couple of months.
it was like i was born agian, no pain at night, when i lifted, ever when i..... oh
thats a different thread, sorry.

hey keep up the great workouts, there are lots of other exercises to get huge triceps with.

If you roll a ball of ice cream in mashed up cornflakes and then deep fry it, the cornflakes form a crispy coating on the outside, so when you dig into it with your spoon the ice cream is still frozen in the middle.

Mmmmmm . . . . .

Thanks, Billy!

Yeah, I think that I'm going to drop them. Which is a shame, because I really liked them.

I can't do that. This routine calls for hitting certain muscles, at certain times, with certain (high) weights.

I wonder if I can still do standing Triceps Extensions?

Thanks, goob!

Oddly, this workout isn't that tough. At least not physically. But it's mentally tough when I do Supramaxes and the high-rep recovery days.

great workout though, your pullups are starting to take off, excellent job.

those 8 second isos at the top would be brutal, I can only imagine the mental part of thinking "shit, if my arms give out..I'm fucked" good on you man

Thanks, Scarface!

On the holds, I have two metal sawhorses that act a safeties. They cost me about $50 (I think). One of my best investments. Before those, I couldn't go PR singles on Bench or Squat.

It really is my favorite sandwich. The only thing that this one is missing is the center piece of bread.

mmmm....

They even put the powdered sugar on top just after the sandwich comes out of the deep fry. So that the sugar melts and becomes a glaze.

Still got an awesome workout, and at least that mix up with the supramaxes shows you youre going the in the right direction!

I got a Bench PR before because i simply added up the weight wrong on the bar. I think a lot of it is mental, if you dont think you SHOULD be able to do something, chances are you wont be able to in spite of the necessary ability.

Stupid brain.

Awesome session though, old boy

Death never tasted so good.

Yeah, I'm really happy that I could partial rep 230. I'm betting that my PR for Bench isn't 205 anymore.

I can't count the number of times (Bloodied, but unbound) that screwed up the numbers and got a new PR!

Thanks, Gaz!

About that sandwich... I've heard about them, but never tried them before... I bet it was really good!! Cheese, meat, batter, deep fried... lol

Sorry to hear about the other half. But I'm not going to let this go any further. Skullcrushers are gone for now.

That sandwich is ambrosia! You should try it (split it with the other half). Like I said, you really shouldn't eat more than half at a time. And even then, you shouldn't have this too often.

I'm afraid to look-up the nutritional information for it.

Scotland sounds a lot like Memphis, Tennessee.

They deep fry everything.

No, I don't currently use straps.

But I just might.

Oh, and I didn't know if you could find a Monte Cristo sandwich in your area, so I look on the web for it. I found the recipe that Bennigan's restaurant uses. Which is the first place that I ever had them, and by which I judge all others.

You might want to think about sharing this with a local restaurant.

Lastly, you must use, and eat it with, the red raspberry jam. Must!

Thanks, man! I can already see the difference in my tris.

Well, technically, I have the money now. But that money is really earmarked for my options trading. Plus, I don't even have a job right now! I was plesantly surprised that I could find (round-trip) fares as low as $1300 (on Orbitz). I'm going to make it happen! When I put my mind to something, it always happens.

It won't happen until September or so. I'd like to do it sooner, but I plan to start trading options in June, so I'll need to stay at home for the first couple of months to babysit it. After I get more comfortable, I start traveling.

Hell yes!
