2005 Transformation

[Jodi]

The only time I REALLY sweat is when I'm supersetting or training legs.

I'm always cold.

 

[P-funk]

I only fail on rest pause.


I just wouldn't feel comfortable with a w/o if I could say "I didn't sweat"

I sweat.

maybe you need to learn how to train smarter.

you are telling her about CNS overtraining and you are training to failure on rest pause sets.....hmmm...I wonder who is overtraining now??

 

[Luke9583]

Just because one isn't training to failure doens't mean that they are just going through the motions.

I never said that.

But I beleive if somebody were to do 29 sets and not sweat, they are going through the motions (at least this is what I would tell myself I was doing, if I left the gym after a workout like that )

If you or I didn't sweat I would say there were a problem. However, in all honesty, womens sweat glands work differently then mens and can typcially go through periods of exertion without sweating.

I rarely use R/P and really only use it with preacher curls. I just try to squeek out one more rep than the previous week. I doubt working such a small muscle to failure on R/P would overtrain my CNS.

I never claimed to be any expert. Like I said above, I know everybody's different. You and Jodi are the experts. It just sounded fishy to me and I am trying to understand the logic

That's sick, I sweat like a pig.

yeah me too. i am fucking gross.

Where did this come from? Are you saying that if I train smarter I wont sweat. lol

But that is the point. Training smarter. That's why i'm asking questions. No need for the personal attacks.

no, no personal attacks at all. just a statment that came out the wrong way apparently.

 

[sara]

I bulked last year and put on muscle with Dante's push pull routine. There is more than one way to put on muscle and low volume high intensity isn't the only way I spend less than an hour lifting.

Agree
when I did this routine and eating enough carbs, alot of people have noticed my arms getting little muscular
This routine did some magic for me and then I ruined it.. But Im working on fixing this

I think what p-funk saying is that you don't need to sweat to have a good workout.

 

[Luke9583]

O! .... Party in Sara's Journal!

 

[Luke9583]

I think what p-funk saying is that you don't need to sweat to have a good workout.

If so, that would contradict with what he says here...

If you or I didn't sweat I would say there were a problem.

 

[sara]

Just because one isn't training to failure doens't mean that they are just going through the motions. Intensity is only referring to the load you are using in relation to your 1RM in a given exercise. If I were to take 75% of my 1RM (my 10RM in this case) and do 4 sets of 8 reps there is a good chance i am going ot hit failure in my last set but not in all of them and maybe in none of them. There are many differnet variables that can be altered to induce hypertrophy and make gains. Failure does not always have to be in the equation.

whats an 1RM?

 

[Luke9583]

1 rep max.

 

[sara]

I think he means a problem with your glands if you don't sweat.. guys tend to sweat all the time
