P/rr/s Devotees...make Yourself Known!

**gopro** · 06-28-2004, 09:32 AM

Slowly but surely I am trying to do a website, book (or series of articles), and much more with P/RR/S. Heck, Tank already has T-shirts covered, LOL! (You rock Tank)!

If you are a P/RR/S user, let me know in this thread as I will try to make you all part of the website in some way. Or, if you have suggestions about a site...or if you are a website builder...let me know.

In addition, use this thread to share anything about P/RR/S that you wish. Let this thread evolve in any way you like.

Devotees? Let's not get hasty.

I am not yet prepared to put "groupie" (of any creed) in my sig line, but I'm heading into my third round of plain-vanilla P/RR/S, and am enjoying it. I'm gaining strength, and lats.

The targeted brevity of the workouts is another big plus in my opinion. Yes! sacrilege! I do not care to spend all day in my gym, just get it over with and stagger away in the approved manner.

Solid program!

I used it for quite a while and really like it. My body responds best to these types of microcylces, so its perfect for me. I think its especially useful for people who dont know enough about periodization to put together a workout of their own. This is easy to follow and effective.

mwman · 06-28-2004, 12:12 PM

I design websites if you need help in that aspect.

**CowPimp** · 06-28-2004, 01:01 PM

Before beginning P-RR-S, I went through a 7 week cycle of purely P-RR. I planned on doing it for longer, but I don't feel like getting into the details as to why. I really like the P-RR program in and of itself, so I was really excited to begin P-RR-S.

I am sore a lot more frequently after P-RR-S workouts than I used to be. I take this as a good sign. However, I am currently cutting. I don't think I'm going to notice the full benefits until I begin bulking again. I definitely like the program so far, and I will probably use it frequently throughout my training career.

Just starting my second round. My online jounal is titled "determination" if anyone is interested. I haven't posted todays workout yet but the strength increase was in the "holy shit" category.

Rocco32 · 06-28-2004, 03:25 PM

Just starting the program again. Tried some other programs for the past few months, but which one am I coming back too? That's right. Judging by pics I take periodically I most definately looked my best during P/RR/S training. And yes I am a groupie and am not ashamed of it!!

TaPo31 · 06-28-2004, 06:44 PM

I started with the P/RR/S routine about 5 months ago. After completing 3 cycles of it, I switched to the P/RR/S part II and I love it. There is never a workout that goes by where I am not sore, something that tells me that my body is not becoming complacent and is continuing to be challenged. P/RR/S is hands down the best training program I have ever used.

GP I haven't tried it yet but I plan to as I am a big fan of yours!

aztecwolf · 06-28-2004, 07:26 PM

just completed first week of power and all i can say is that my chest feels like it is going to rip apart when i try to open my arms.... i luv it

Phred · 06-29-2004, 12:02 AM

I am in my 6th week of p/rr/s. It is to soon for me to give any credible feedback as the first RR and shock weeks were shake down weeks. My plan is to stick with it for 3 months. Then looking to adjust by going to P/P/RR/S. I had been on a power training routine for about 5 months and had to adjust my weights to hit the rep ranges used in the RR and Shock weeks. I do feel sore more than I did with the power routine I was using. I anticipate I will not be disappointed. I work out back monday, chest tuesday, legs wednesday, shoulders & calfs thursday and bis & tris on friday. Rest sat and sun. Well OK, cardio on sat and sunday by walking my dogs.

Jenny · 06-29-2004, 12:42 AM

Did my first power workout yesterday and I loved it

**gopro** · 06-29-2004, 08:27 AM

bludevil · 06-29-2004, 09:33 AM

I've tried the P/RR/S routine in the past. Since then I've tried many other routines but have found the P/RR/SS routine better suits me and my goals. I'm going on vacation next week, but when I get back, I'll be starting on the program again.

Blieb · 06-29-2004, 11:21 AM

I'm in my 4th week. So back on my 2nd power week. I have to take a week off when I go up to visit family first week of July ... I'm actually sad about it!

I like getting in, busting out the sets and getting out in about an hour, sometimes more sometimes less. I like the different groupings and the method behind it.

I have been mtn biking more the past year, and lost a lot of my abilities in the gym, I know I'm only in week 4, but I'm almost back to where I was. Seeing great gains in my lifts. I plan to stick with this throughout my 4 month carb-cycle cut, with another week off somewhere in there, then will adjust accordingly depending on how my goals change.

I did the full P/RR/S and decided that I wasn't quite ready for the shock week. So now I am doing my P/P/RR/RR. I have been doing this for about 6 weeks now and have been sore after every workout since I started.

For me the hard part is trying to fit the shock week in there. In my gym it gets very crowded in the afternoon which is when I train. It's difficult at best to go from station to station when there is that many people there.

Just drag some dumbells over to whatever other piece of equipment you want to use. Make use of one exercise that uses dumbells as part of the superset. Voila!

Great response CP. Sometimes doing supersets can be tough if 2 pieces of equipment are not right near eachother. So, if the gym is extra crowded you may have to do what CP says. Drag some dumbells over to another piece of equipment and modify your supersets so that there is one dumbell exercise and one machine or barbell exercise.

Examples:

-flyes/bench press
-dumbell pullover/pulldown
-side lateral/military press

Etc.

	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...
