I know that's pretty intense so it would require less sets and what not but that few? Thanks for the advice...

No, if you are going to double the sets, expect half the results. The only way I would recommend anyone to double the sets is if they are on steroids, or they can train, eat and sleep, without having to work or go to school. Adding one or two sets is ok at the most, but if you are doing even that you have not learned how to truly train that intensely yet.

I trained 4 clients today that all thought they knew what intensity was, so i dropped their wieghts and they were all cryin like babies by the end

How are you training them Rissole? P/RR/S

Randy · 11-26-2004, 02:02 AM

I'm starting RR next week.. I've gone 2 weeks of Power so far.
I'm working my major muscle groups twice a week. I have been doing a 3 day split program at the moment. It seems to be working very well...except for all the Holiday food.. I feel like a stuffed cow now.

I just fill in his clients occasionally, they all want me when we're done though..
I will be using P/RR/S when i finish getting my ticket and open my own gym later next year

Randy · 11-26-2004, 07:08 PM

Sounds good Rissole... Yes, form is always the first and most important step for beginners. But hell, I've seen advanced lifters using lousy form as well. Many will try to show off by tossing on to much weight then they can chew just to show off in front of others.. Then their form takes a nose dive.

Sounds great to hear of your goal in owning a gym by next year. To bad you're so far away Rissole, I would pay you a visit.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice gopro. As far as training intensely I thought that was the only way to train...

You are welcome!

And yes, its the only way to train, but some people's definition of intensity is actually turning off their cell phone while working out

Yeah cell phones piss me off too..
Especially all the morons you see with them glued to their head while driving.
You will either see them driving 20 miles under the speed limit or turning right in front of you and cutting you off cause they couldn't turn their head to see if you were there cause of the stupid cell phone. I seriously think they should ban them from being aloud while driving.

But while in gyms or book stores, grocery stores, or even in class, those that don't turn them off are very rude in my mind. Well Grocery stores I guess its no biggie, but you know what I am trying to say. Let's replace grocery store with library.

I recently saw someone curling with one hand and talking on his cell with the other at my gym. After about ten reps he switched hands.

Utterly pathetic!

Randy · 11-30-2004, 05:22 PM

The best place to begin is in the gym

Hey...that sounds like a good sig...

Or maybe a bumber sticker.

	What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)
