Thinking about lowering the resistence and upping the rpm's!!! What thinks you all???
Archangel said:
Congrats on still dropping the 1.5lbs!!! Your cardio is still killer. I don't know about dropping the resistance
Think that's a question for Emma or Ris. Personally, I would drop the resistance and up the rpm's, but then if the higher resistance is still getting the heart rate into the "fat burning zone" 
Deferring to others that can better answer. Sorry Arch. Still you are doing great.
Way to go Angel 
I probably wouldn't change the cardio yet. 1.5 instead of 2 isn't much diff. I looked back over my past 7 wks and I had weeks where I lost 2.5 lbs then next week only 1.5, then 1 , then 2. You just might be retaining a little more fluids this week ( your time of the month is it ? LOL )
If next weeks loss is not up to par then I would change but like Dev said better ask someone who really knows.
Have a great weekend

As if you need it, Mr 50-yd touchdown run!
Congrats on the weight loss, Archie. I agree with GW on this one. Don't make any rash decisions. Give it a week or two.
Great w/o man! As far as the alternate routine you're thinking about, alternating each w/o twice a week would be killer. That and you might want to watch out changing your routine up too much while prepping for a comp. Especially if you are still seeing significant results on your current one. But if you're looking to up the ante and intensity a bit, that would definately do it!
As for the cardio....I never found a extremely heavy resistance to great for me.....I was always a fan of higher rpms and it always worked for me. I was also a fan of HIIT though so there are many options out there. But def give it another week or so there are to many variables to determine if the cardio just isn't working.
Just out of curiosity are you on a set diet yet or are you just winging it day by day?
As for the training....in B the following week do you train Back/Delts/Traps/Biceps twice and Legs/Chest/Triceps/ once? Is that the whole switching deal? Sorry never read up on mentzer yet!
And I'm not sure how well it will work but I'm sure come slocer to comp time it will be very difficult to keep such intensity uip....you always get those off days from restricted cals. I was just never a fan of twice a week but if the volume isnt to high and your body can handle it without injury then you have the option. I would just look at all options and variables and maybe talk to some who have competed and find their theories on training while competing.

Good idea Arch! I definately hear ya on the back and leg days being too close together. Gotta take care of that lower back.
you know, Archy....every time I come in here and read this journal, I am totally inspired to hit the gym hard....your dedication has driven me more than once over the last year!
I think you have made a good choice with the routine....at only 13 weeks out this is when things need to remain constant and put into overdrive! You are on the right track and if you maintain this you will look awsome in 13 weeks!
So may 20th eh?

Even with the weight loss, there's no apparent loss of strength. What's your secret?
Impressive w/o sheesh....and you do it in 15 minutes....dude you are a machine....rock on!!!!!
Great work, buddy Mucho impressive inclines and Archie deads.

Archie, just finished reading about fully contracted static holds in Mentzer's book. I'm thinking this might be a good option for all of us pullup welfare folks. Have you ever applied this technique to your pullups?
Hey dont keep all the secrets for your colt spread the info!boilermaker said:
I haven't had time to read the book mind touching on the theory for me real fast?
