Hope you aren't going to remove all your stuff from the net and / or start charging a mint any time soon.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks!

Thank you for your comments! I am so glad you are enjoying my program! There are plenty of Aussie's using it, as I have gotten many emails from your parts, LOL!

Don't worry, my program is all over the net, on this board and many others, so you will never have trouble finding it. Plus, it is going to be featured in a new book hitting shelves in about a month or so.

Cheers!

The middle # is ALWAYS where you are after your negative contraction. Thus, for both bench press and laterals, it would be at the bottom.

Occassionally I will actually have clients use a tempo that looks like this: 2/1/2/1, for example. With this you would also pause at the contraction point, which works very well for certain movements, like laterals, pulldowns, curls, leg curls, triceps pressdowns. Any movement where there is real tension at the peak contraction point.

what about for those of us a bit more on the advanced side. myself, I am looking to compete next April, and I am looking for offseason mass, but prefer training each bodypart 2 x per week or so.

Well, you can start to utilize some principals from P/RR/S Advanced Techniques. And if you prefer training each bodypart twice per week BECAUSE you have determined you grow better that way, then go ahead and do it. You might want to adjust volume per workout to make it a bit lower though.

Just take the shock workout above (making any exercise substitutions that you may have to) and insert them on the proper days. It should be quite easy really.

And there are pretty much just as many exercises as the other days. In fact, if you look at POWER chest, there are 3 exercises listed...and there are 4 on SHOCK chest!

P/RR/S is perfect for bulking, cutting, and everything in between!

What do you mean by warm-up exercises? Simply ride the bike or walk the treadmill for 5-10 minutes to raise core temperature. Then, for your first exercise of a bodypart do about 3 progressive warmup sets. For example, if you are doing Squats and your first real set is going to be with 275 lbs...

-WU set 1...135 x 10
-WU set 2...185 x 8
-WU set 3...235 x 6
-work set 1...275 x ...

Then for the next exercise you may only need 1-2 WU sets. Let's say its Leg Press and the first work set is with 500 lbs...

-WU set 1...320 x 8
-WU set 2...410 x 6
-work set 1...500 x ...

For your last exercise maybe 1 warmup is all you need...or perhaps if it is an exercise like leg extensions, you can jump right to your first set.

does CG seated row...2-3 x 4-6 refer to Cable Row???
weighted chin refer to a pulldown?
and whats the difference between a rack deadlift and a deadlift?

Yes

weighted chin refer to a pulldown?
No. perform chin-ups on a chin-up bar (or a pull up bar) with added weight to your body. Wts are added via a belt, hooked on feet, vest, etc. The idea is to use more than your body wt.

and whats the difference between a rack deadlift and a deadlift?

Generally deadlifts are from the floor. Rack deadlifts are in a rack(duh) but you set the pin height so the bar is up off the floor (usually near the top of your shin - but it can be any height depending on your purpose for the rack deadlift). It limits the range of motion to the upper part of the deadlift which is mostly the lower back. The bottom range is mostly legs on a dead lift. So if trying to work mostly your lower back, the upper range of the deadlift is a good exercise. A lot of other stabilizing activation is going on, but the lower back is the main muscle used.

What do you mean by warm-up exercises? Simply ride the bike or walk the treadmill for 5-10 minutes to raise core temperature. Then, for your first exercise of a bodypart do about 3 progressive warmup sets. For example, if you are doing Squats and your first real set is going to be with 275 lbs...

-WU set 1...135 x 10
-WU set 2...185 x 8
-WU set 3...235 x 6
-work set 1...275 x ...

Then for the next exercise you may only need 1-2 WU sets. Let's say its Leg Press and the first work set is with 500 lbs...

-WU set 1...320 x 8
-WU set 2...410 x 6
-work set 1...500 x ...

For your last exercise maybe 1 warmup is all you need...or perhaps if it is an exercise like leg extensions, you can jump right to your first set.

Exactly the answers I was looking for Gopro, thanks again man!

A few questions though;

What kind of rest intervals should I use between warm up sets.
What percentage of the weight of my first set would I apply to my warm up sets?
How would I determine how many warm up sets I would need.
Would the repitition range for the warm up sets be the same for the P days vs the RR days?

Sorry to bug you with the newbie questions, but I am a newbie. lol
Once again Gopro, thanks for holding my hand through my newbie transformation to hopefully in the next 2 years into a novice weight lifter.
