Question- For P/RR/S II when working the Hamstrings, I know SLDL is too dangerous for the 1 Rep Max. How's about Sumo Deads?

Question II- When doing P/RR/S II and you repeat one of the weeks like say Power week, would it be alright to do the first week Part II style and the second week through Part I style?



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Sumo Deads could work. But with P week in the part 2 version I might only use it for certain bodyparts/exercises. Hams might not be best suited to a single.

Yes, you can do Part II P and then basic P.

Thanks Buddy. I just feel I cheat too much with hips when I try SUPER heavy for Hams. Dune is or was great. I liked the first few books but you can't beat that first one! Most people don't get my sig!

hi guys

Today I just completed my first week of p/rr/s. Felt awsome for most body parts, these are the muscles that are still sore chest, tris, hams, quads, lats. I take being sore as a good sign

a couple of questions for those in the know.

On shoulder day I dont think there was any exercises that work the rear delts is this correct ? I think the front and lateral delts were covered but not the rear delts, should I do some lateral raises whilst laying down on a bench for this or not ?

Also on arm day my triceps got a solid workout but I feel I could handle more work on my biceps I did barbell curls for 2 sets, hammer curls for 2 sets and preacher curls for 2 sets. I figured because Im only training each body part once per week is it possible to do 3 sets on each bicep exercise compared to 2.

thanks

ps looking forward to rep range next week

Speak to you soon, i am trying to diet down a bit before my Sept comp again, i wanna do cartwheels into the comp this year. Place overall winner in the local, place well in the State if not win category and compete in the National. There is a local comp before the first local as well, i promised the guy who's been selling me my supps that i would compete, its his comp same federation as the others but just the first one he's put on.
4 comps in 2 months and i'm a bit scared of getting "flat" ya know...
Now i just read your "No cardio! Diet doing it all!" Thread and it's thrown me a doozie....
