Ahh, the old AS acusation argument. It always seems that when I see somebody post a routine, inevitably somebody comes along and says "Yeah, its a great routine, but (insert name) uses AS" , which I am guessing is supposed to invalidate the entire routine. Its like the whole Nazi accusation in...

True, but a single person takes no longer than about 8-12 seconds to do his set. We are talking about explosive power here. Whoever I was training with are indeed powerlifters. You can do a simple read on elitefts.com and find out all about Westside barbell, a very well known POWERLIFTING gym...

I mean they work in groups of 3 or 4 people. Three people rotate the lifts. Person 1 lays down, rips out three quick reps, hops up, Person 2 lays down, rips out three quick reps and hops up, Person 3 lays down, does 3 quick, and Person 1 starts again. Total time, around 30 seconds. On max...

Aye, but two of the lifters were pretty experienced, and the guy that owned the gym had been lifting for years. His max bench was like 375 when I left, was 350 when I got there. So in the month I was there he gained 25lbs. Not bad at that level. The woman in our group had a max bench of 309...

I started lifting in Early March. Have never lifted in my life before then. Was doing BB untill a month and two weeks ago.

I just started Pling solo. I worked briefly (one month) with a group doing Westside methods. There were 4 of us. We rotated doing 3-5 reps, and did them quickly so that rest time was minimal. On our auxillary work we also used 15-20 seconds in between sets. We made PR's every week. I...

As somebody who primarily powerlifts, I must nitpick here... I have never rested for 4 mins. My rest period is more like 15-20 seconds, or just long enough for me to add some more weights. I usually deliberately either have very little rest, or do supersets to keep me active the whole 30-45...

I condensed my usual 1 hour workout down to 30 mins yesterday, and my heart rate was up to 170. It was upper body. Of course on my way home I almost vomited all over the place. What a rush. Now that is mixing cardio and resistance training.

Took off this week in fact. Was feeling tired, unmotivated, and fuzzy in the head. Wasn't my diet, I know that, so I felt I was close to overtraining. Been getting alot of calf cramps at night too, even after eating 2 banannas before bed.

Would say slow reps for size, fast reps if you want to move weight.

I need to get me one of those.

You know, Pizza is my nickname. :D

Well, stupid me almost went anyway. I actually pulled right into the gym parking lot before I realized what I was doing. Dunno if it was habit or desire to go. Really good thing I didn't go, my cough has worsened, and my nose is a faucet turned on high. My throat is very sore and it is hard...

Was fat so I looked into loosing weight. Diet and Cardio was my first thoughts. Found a site called FreeTrainers, and reading the forums made me decide I would like to have a huge ripped body and get all the women. That and I have a small penis too. ;)

:( I was afraid of that. I always hate recovery days, and would go to the gym 7 days a week (would probably burn out though). I can't afford to get really sick though, with no health insurance. Hopefully missing Chest day this week will not hurt my preformance next week. /sigh Just...

I drink an occasional Diet Pepsi once in awhile. Sometimes more than I like. Trying to quit Caffine all together, but after drinking 6-8 Pepsis a day for over 3 years, its hard to go all day without at least one. Sometimes I manage. :D

Looks like I might not be able to go the the gym for the rest of the week. Did legs monday, a nice good almost puke/pass out session, and the next morning woke up with a sore throat. (Monday afternoon, sleep days) Today I got a good 10 hours of sleep, but my throat is just as bad, and I am...

I am not certain. I would think that the types of AA's in an egg white would be different than a yolk. (couldn't find anything relating to it)
