If I tell you, you will just argue with me.

Butt you can be useful as you have been lately....I understand there is an article in the current T-Mag that I don't have time to review on caffiene......I would even feel indebted if you did a brief review in Diet and Nutrition.

Want to take is a step further, the late Dan Duchane told me that coffee interferes with insulin regulation (and to avoid it on a cut)via the ??? Randell, Randele, some spelling, cycle. It is something I have never found in physiology texts. Do Chicken Daddys fish??

Here is a lead:

Caffeine inactivates the enzyme phosphodiesterase, allowing large amounts of glucose and triglycerides to flow into the blood stream. In this respect caffeine produces an effect similar to that of stress.


I want w8 to "do" the research on gum, the sugar alcohols associated with "an addicts" inability to control portions....and someone, has got to post some definitive research on "sweet tastes" contributing to hyperinsulinemia! (use that in your caffiene serch too)


DP


TCD<, I just got second hand info that the T-Mag article is devastating to coffee drinkers, and had to see for myself.

http://www.t-mag.com/articles/214app.html

An excerpt:




1) Caffeine intake (in all of its forms) decreases whole body glucose disposal (carbohydrate uptake) by 15-30%.

2) Caffeine intake decreases skeletal muscle glucose disposal by 50%.

3) When consumed with a standard carbohydrate breakfast, caffeine decreases insulin sensitivity, leading to large increases in blood insulin. But even in the face of this insulin surge, blood glucose doesn't disappear at a normal rate. When the body can't take up carbohydrates properly (as when drinking coffee), it releases loads of insulin to help out. However, the coffee actually prevents the insulin from doing this job and you end up with high insulin and glucose. That, my friends, is the serum profile of the obese, type II diabetic.

4) Caffeine decreases insulin sensitivity for at least three hours (this is the duration of the longest study they've performed), but the true duration of the effect isn't known. I speculate that it's at least five hours, the half life of caffeine.

....that's a cable?
 
It's a long metal rope/cord attached to a w8 stack :shrug:

Some piss poor machines have tethers :(

Anyway...Free Motion Shoulder...has a seat..with bilateral cables coming out of it at floor level, just wider than shoulder width. So not BB, not DB, but handles and cables, and a pressing movement. :D


This is your next Shoulder W/O btw :)

K......bored posting

Walked from the gym in the snow.....:beautifulbutslippery: I hope that wasn't to much Cardio for this year :o

Weekly report

(this always brings lots of interuptions...I may log them)

Very Catabolic week. :(

BW range 218 on Mon to 214 today...many missed meals...and low water yesterday after good water the day
before...so I'm sure some of it is dehydration. problem is with being too busy...and getting home late, I get some meals up to 2 hours late...and eat dinner too late for a bedtime meal.......hate this :lol:

Wednesday for some reason.....I was a total blurr....possibly from a hard W/O week....every W/O rocked! :thumb:

(patron and phone...lol)

So many highlights: (phone again)

Partner doing 140 reps of squats in 8 sets and complaining all week....total "Fuel" :D
High Rep finishing sets for chest and back W/O's

Today's W/O

My partner was racking the Smith for shoulder presses as I walked in and I said oh no...no pressing ....yet :finger:

1) Cable upside down grip...(fist) laterals, 3 sets
2) DB thumb over laterals 3 sets
3) Smith WG uprights 4 sets
4) Fixed BB, body against a pole front raises, 4 sets
5) Tried to make a ultra WG shurgs out of the cable stacks, seated...3 sets...interesting hit...high up
(another customer)
6) Reverse cable flyes sitting backwards on a preacher for rears, 3 height adjustments, one each set, 3 sets
7) Bent over two hand cable rear raises..sitill on preacher, ass and bottom of stomach almost touching the bench. 3 sets
8) cable laterals....2 sets

9a We have plates w/handles built in...so front raises, 10 reps, 5 sets no RI

9c Hammer Shoulder press 8, 9, 10, 12, 15 reps.....NO REST!

OMG was that fun.......Dr. J was sweating bullets....didn't make reps on the last set...got 11.....

His metabolism will be jacked till noon or LATER...Good for his contest prep....Bad for his archery meet tomorrow! LOL :p

DP
 
Can you please answer some questions I have about your w/o's?
Do you want me to post them here? (I don't want to interupt your journal....oops to late,sorry)
 
It's OK.....just don't make me explain volume and INTENSITY....K? :D

(all of my partners have awesome shoulders, probably TG's and Dr. J's best body parts...they call it "Shoulders by Pain)

Forgot to mention that my usually "loose" shirt is "tight" as fuck right now.

Ok...fire away....be prepared for interuptions...:D
 
lol. Damn my question was about volume and intensity. Well I guess that is out.lol

Another question is what does it mean when you write out your excersise numbers like this?:

9a
9b

Am I correct in assuming that means superset?

Why no questions on volume and intensity by the way?

Yes....that is a superset....which actually means opposing muscle groups....but we us it instead of bi-set in this case.

That was a triset...if it had 4 or more exercises, it would be a "giant set"

The reason why is that I don't want to spark a debate.....the same way we assign Nutritional programs individually, we
create W/O's based on what is or can be most effective for an individual.

I'm a high w8, high volume interspersed with heavy lower volume compound movements, alternating volume isolation movements...and period shock kind of guy.

Sometimes we go heavy only........sometimes longer RI's on early movements, picking up the pace in the later part of the W/O...point is, it's always different! :D

Some of my W/O's are in the training forum...just use my name and the body part in a search....

If your questions on volume and intensity are non-combatable/debatable...I will entertain them here. I hoped that helped :D
 
That helped a lot, thanks.

Actually I wanted to question the volume of your workouts becuase I agree with them.
After working out for a number of years and trying a lot of different training splits, high volume, low volume, etc. I have come to the conclusion that high volume works best for me for most body parts (except for legs fo some reason?). My shoulder w/o's are high volume and people criticize me for it, saying "shoulders get a lot of work with chest...blah, blah, blah." But if I don't go high volume I don't grow.

So I was going to ask you why when ever you give someone a workout it is almost always high volume? Do you feel that everyone or most can benefit from it? I feel that the rule of overtraining is sometimes grossly exaggerated. Also how long do your w/o's typically last? My workouts are high volume but rarely go over an hour.

thanks for the input.:)
 
First..."There is no such thing as Overtraining, there is only Under Recovery!" (John Parrillo)

Some may have to think about this in the zen sense....there can't be OT if there is adequate recovery.:D

Next....my W/O's use to go 60-75 minutes, with slightly longer RI's and more jabbering....now..ALWAYS under one hour...many going 50-55 minutes.

What you have described above is what takes the average trainee, ages to figure out......what works and what doesn't. especially for individual bodyparts!...My Compliments :thumb:

Wednesday, broke in a new partner...so wussy W/O there too
Thursday..only Time for abs

Today, I had a little pent up aggression to get out...and used SoP's CD again.......I'm not sure everyone appreciated "Living Dead Girl"......too fucking bad.....

Compliment of the day..after offering Mr. Paris a little DP type encouragement on his heaviest set of squats....he slaps me on the back and says and as he pulls his hand away .... 'Damn! Your rear delts are BIGGER than my Outer Sweep!" :laugh:

5a Lean Away DB laterals 3 sets 8, No RI
5b Cable laterals, start from behind the back 3 X 8, TUT the last 3 reps of each set, 60 sec RI

Right in between the the above sets, and then on (after the second exercise)..I made Dr. J pose ...1-2 poses per break..he freakin was hating life! :)

6 Seated one arm cable rear pull, 3 X 8, no RI
6b Lying on side, rear raise, watching that the arm stays in line/plane with the shoulder, only raise to 11:00, and full descent, w/tension, 3 X8 , 60 sec RI

Then some more posing....1/4 turns, once thru the mandatories/

We did this in an hour :D Highlight was when we were moving to a better squat rack...Braindead, drained Dr. J says "I'll get these, you go rack up over there" CRASH! :eek:...The dumbfuck took 3 plates off one side of the bar. leaving 3 on the other......bent the clip and almost took out a glass door and windows to the aerobics room, bar fell str8 over...and waved about 3 feet left and right until it ended bar up, sticking in 3 w8's...LMAO! :laugh:

Also...after an "All Clear" on my first annual/bi/tri annual?? Dematological scan.....TG (who is now going to stay in town ...lol) gave me a few tans and some serious lotion......after two tannings......I'm darker (and of course looking more defined) ...than Dr. J who has been tanning for his contest...go figure?

That's about it...till next week
