Confused

I have looked at the exercises. Guys I am more confused. Please guys don't assume that I know all this stuff for example what is

CG seated row?
WG T-Bar row?

Please could someone out there make this simpler for me. Please understand I am not being difficult its only that I have a learning spirit. I want to learn and do the right thing.

Thanks Guys

Close Grip Seated Row --> These can be done with a cable pulley as well.
Wide Gripe T-Bar Row

Rowing movements using a pulley will allow you to "squeeze" your shoulderblades together.
Just keep in mind not to bend at the hips during the exercise (or at least keep it to a minimum!).

Wow...I haven't been able to be around much lately and this is the first time I am seeing this thread. I am very happy to see that there is so much interest in my POWER, REP RANGE, SHOCK workouts. They have done so much to improve my physique, and I hope you all will realize the same or even better results than me.

Perhaps soon I will provide another version of these workouts so that after a time you can make a switch for a little variety.

Allright: this is the current 4-split I'm using, based on GP's P,RR,S workouts:
Days/bodyparts are fully interchangeable to fit tighter shedules etc, so ... Just wanted to link to the exercises in question.

Gopro, I'm coming back to your routine next week. One question, how long is the rest between sets or exercises? Does it vary from cycle to cycle, like more rest on power and less on rep? Please advise. Thanks.

Yes, the rest should vary somewhat. On power week we want complete ATP/creatine phosphate recovery...rest 3-4 minutes between sets. On rep range week make your rests a little shorter as we are chasing a pump...1.5-2.5 min. Shock week we are looking for lactic acid burn. Zero rest during a superset, but long enough rest between supersets to catch your breath and mentally prepare for the pain again.

My P, RR, S routine has not failed yet, as long as it is adhered to completely and done intensely. I wish you the best of luck on it!

You really loved saying that, did you?

Don't matter, the weight used will eventually dictate your rest.
Just make sure you don't lower the weight on power week "because your musles feel tired".
Rest, put on another 10lbs and go at it again (spotter!).

Yes Preacher, I love talking about pain! Just finished my own power week today and there is not one part of my body that is not sore...I LOVE IT!

GP; What about exercises that hit the traps, is there a reason why you don't isolate working those muscles?



MAX. Q
by Howard Balzer

"Roughly one minute after the space shuttle launches, it must withstand a condition of extreme force known as Max Q. Mission success demands that all systems perform at the highest level.

In life, Max Q demands the same commitment to success. It requires choosing greatness, personally as well as professionally. It depends on balance, passion and courage and the wisdom gained from adversity. It is an outcome as well as an attitude."
