So stop on by we'll give albald, PB, Nikegurl, and whoever else is in So. Cal, as well as anybody else who wants to stop by (P, FG, Butterfly & Fade?) and get together and have one big party.

Hi dvlmn!

How are ya?!!! You are progressing very well!! Great work!!! Wow, you got lots of kisses from P!!!
Like everyone said, great back and shoulders! Have you seen lots of increase in strength on this diet? Keep it up!

San Diego sounds pretty affordable! 800-900? Is that right in the city or suburbs? I can't believe that cheap well compared to Boston area!

Am I invited too? When is the housewarming party?

of course your invited to. Most definately.

I'm looking at a place in El Cajon, which is a suburb just to the east of San Diego. It's majorly afordable compared to here, that same place would be 1600 here in San Jose.

Actually yeah through everything I've been gaining quite a bit in strength. Before I was right at Jeff's level and now for the last week or so have been going past him now on every exercise. And have gotten new personal bests on evey exercise.

DV -- you gotta give us weights and reps to keep us interested!

 

[dvlmn666]

Thanks IT, have a long ways to go yet. But gotta start somewere.

Ok, Ok TP, I'll start keeping track of weights and reps. I was gonna wait til after I move since it's easier to keep track when Jeff isn't there.

Ya, cater to your audience bitch!

 

[dvlmn666]

Only if they are paying attention, and give me good advice. Well that an I needed to start doing that anyway to get used to doing it when I move.

bro, I think we need another challenge for another case of beer. After I move wanna see who has the most improment on legs in 12 weeks?

Whatcha think, or do ya have a better suggestion?

 

[irontime]

Ya what the hell. So who won this one? We both had good improvement over the summer.

 

[dvlmn666]

I think you made more improvement though. I'll let ya have that one. But the leg one will be mine. So wanna start it the first week of Nov?

DV, this is confusing me. Are those 15 reppers working sets or warm ups? If warmups -- dont tell us about those, we only care about WORKING SETS -- the ones that'll make you grow. If those are workings sets (1) you are doing to many sets (2) you are doing to many reps.

Also, now that you post this I see a big problem that I couldn't have addressed before.

Whenever I see "perfect" rep ranges, like 15, 12, 10, 8, 6 -- I am HIGHLY suspicious that you are not training with enough intensity (which is a lifting term of art by the way).

Most often you should be training to failure and if you are you should not fail each time on these convenience rep ranges unless it is you mind failing before the muscle. You'll notice I frequently get 5 reps, 7, 9, 11 etc....

Hey you did pretty good yourself, I think the only thing that gave me an advantage was I had the mountains to do every week. It's a good system as once you get half way you want to stop but you can't cause your'e stuck on a frickin mountain!

First week of Nov, sounds fine. Actually I'm glad that you thought of this idea, I haven't been paying enough attention to my legs and this should give me some more inspiration. Ahh, I can already taste the cold refreshing liquid

They are work sets, we do so many sets because we only do like 3 exercises. And I thought for legs higher reps should be your goal?

And the 15 is just a goal I set, yeah I should up the weight and just go to total failure. That's a mental thing I need to work on.

However on some like today's, I normally fail around between 8-11 and then the rest to the 15 are forced reps.

I have to get over getting a number of reps set in my mind, and just go for it. That's waht your telling me, right?

Yeah being stuck on the middle of a mountain kinda forces ya to have to finish. lol

Enjoy it while it lasts dude, because you'll be oweing me after this leg one. So pix and measurements need to be up on Nov 4.
sound good?

 

[Twin Peak]

What I am telling you is that each set needs to be of adequate intensity, in the bodybuliding sense. Otherwise its a waste of your time.

You should pick a weight and have a numer in mind -- say this set will be 6. Just because you get 6, DOES NOT mean you should stop. Get 7 or 8 or 17 if that is failure. Then the next set up the weight accoringly so that you expect to get 6. If you only get 5 than you know next time you NEED to get 6. If you get 6 plus 2 assisted write it down like this:

6+2, that way we know, and you know!

Ok cool, forced reps won't be very often after I move. But good point on writing them down that way. I'm gonna keep a paper log of everything and take it to the gym with me after I move as well.

 

[Twin Peak]

good idea
