again, the 30 second negative..I can't even imagine! you're putting up some great numbers along with some serious volume! excellent job Arch:thumb:
 
you really need to stop being so modest and just accept the fact that you're one strong mofo Archie. It's OK, you earned it, why not indulge in a little gloating and praise? :D
I might be strong, but I'm a LONG way away from where I want to be, Thank you for the positive feedback though, I appreciate it BIGtime!!!

Some pretty impressive numbers
I thank you kind Sir!!!

eagle tricep presses?????
Eagle is the name of the piece of equipment, I'll try to find a pic sometime!!!

Those are impressive numbers, especially on the seated rows. How do you feel you are progressing in terms of the show? Do you feel you are on track?
Thank you Sister Sam, appreciate that!!! I'm progressing but not like I would really like, I'm not a hardcore competitor, I just enjoy doing a show every now and then, but I'm stepping it up after this week, just doing cardio and resting this week!!!

12 hr days must be brutal in addition to getting ready for the show!! I can't imagine!

Eagle presses?? I'll have to look that one up.:D
It is tuff at times, but we all have a crazy schedule, thats what makes us ALL winners!!! They are similar to the Nautilus extensions!!!

105 DBs. :eek:

You're a monster, Brother Archangel!
LOL, I try my Friend, I try!!!

again, the 30 second negative..I can't even imagine! you're putting up some great numbers along with some serious volume! excellent job Arch:thumb:
They are not as bad as they may sound, I completely SUCK at pullups, but they are an Excellent exercise so I get away with my not being so good at them by doing the 30 second negative!!! Thank you for the compliments my Friend!!!



Good work man! You finally back?

Routine looks good - just goes to show that you don't actually need 5 days of weight training to build a physique, something im definately guilty of :rolleyes:

How long are your sessions Arch, if you dont mind me asking?
 
Your looking fantastic brother Archie! I like the split and GOD speed to you to.

Hey now don't sell yourself short Sister Sam!!! But I totally agree w/you on the amount of time!!! Of course I don't mind ya askin, you'll probably laugh though, but each session is maybe 15 minutes long, 20 if I'm slacking!!! I'm High Intensity all the way, w/a few twists thrown in, I guess you could call it Hybrid Intensity Training, LOL!!!

That's truly amazing Arch! I wouldn't dare laugh, you'd kick my butt ;)

No, i find it really interesting how different peoples workout styles can be. I remember when i first started coming on these boards, people used to say 'you need to find what works best for YOU', and i thought, yeah right, surely it's the same for everyone - but that's just not true.

I think you and me are polar opposites in terms of training, a short sharp shock does it for you whereas i have to be crawling and bleeding before i feel as if i've done any work!

That cardio is kicking ass though - bet the Whirlpool and Sauna are a godsend afterwards :thumb:

why all the recent cardio? your muscles are gonna shrivel up and go bye-bye.... are you on a cut or something?
 
After all those workouts you do, you deserve it. :clapping:
Thank you BRother Triple!!!

I second this!! You def. deserved a day off! :)
Thank you as well Sister Billie!!!

Yeah I'm definitely enjoying myself! Spring break! Gonna start my cut soon so im psyched for that to.
:thumb: Enjoy life my Friend, enjoy!!!

Nah, I'm just a gentle giant, LOL!!! Thanks for the compliments, and I agree 100%, you have to find what works for you, I believe HIT will work for anyone, IF they do it correctly, or IF they want to do it, you and I are what makes the world go round my Friend!!! Yes the sauna and whirlpool where DEFINATLY a GODsend:D!!!

why all the recent cardio? your muscles are gonna shrivel up and go bye-bye.... are you on a cut or something?
Only 17 weeks out, I'm not busting my behind in it just yet!!! I hope they don't go bye-bye!!!:(
 
its gonna take alot of cardio to get those muscles to go bye bye.

its amazing how good you feel after doing cardio.

15 Minutes Light Cardio on Treadmill

I know, I'm on the pullup welfare, but give me time with them, LOL!!! Deadlifts totally kicked my teeth in, I felt like I was gonna die!!!

I'm only gonna up the weight when I HIT a true 12 on the first mini set, that way I can keep track of myself better to evaluate if I'm overtraining or burning into muscle w/too much cardio on this cut!!! My Rest/Pause (r/p) = 15 seconds, my partner actually counts it out and tells me to hit it!!! (I do the same for him LOL!!!)

Overall pretty happy with HITting it after a week and a half layoff!!! Last meal coming up, GODspeed you ALL!!!

LOL, I hope so my Friend!!! I will problably post a few as I get closer to the contest, and then of course the contest pics!!!:nail: NO LAUGHING!!!
 
That is such a great way to do a workout. Dear lord - r/p on such heavy deads must've been gut-wrenching, i can only imagine. Excellent rowing too :thumb:

Photos sound great! As long as you bear in mind we'll all be guilty of one of the 7 deadly sins afterward - ENVY :fire:
 
Itll be cool to see some updated pics of you brother A. How much you weighing in at and whats your bf%?
 
wow, Arc! What a great w/o! How long did it take you to get through that routine? I would have been a useless pile of mush by the end of it.

pullups ARE hard aren't they.... the part that always gets me is forcing myself to do a full extension of the arms and pulling myself without jerking my legs up to help get me going. that's why i'm still doing assisted pullups...
