Power/Rep Range/Shock: The Basics

[gopro]

Nice routines but you need very few sets to say the least. I maybe give it a shot but double the sets. Habits I guess. You definitely know what you're doing looking at your avatar but I don't trust it would work for me. Should I double the sets or give your exact routine a shot? I know that's pretty intense so it would require less sets and what not but that few? Thanks for the advice...

No, if you are going to double the sets, expect half the results. The only way I would recommend anyone to double the sets is if they are on steroids, or they can train, eat and sleep, without having to work or go to school. Adding one or two sets is ok at the most, but if you are doing even that you have not learned how to truly train that intensely yet.

I trained 4 clients today that all thought they knew what intensity was, so i dropped their wieghts and they were all cryin like babies by the end

 

[Randy]

How are you training them Rissole? P/RR/S

 

[Randy]

I'm starting RR next week.. I've gone 2 weeks of Power so far.
I'm working my major muscle groups twice a week. I have been doing a 3 day split program at the moment. It seems to be working very well...except for all the Holiday food.. I feel like a stuffed cow now.

Good job Rizster!! Hey, I did not know you were doing personal training!?

 

[Rissole]

I use the guy who owns the gym's programmes but i use good tempos and very strict on form. Not like the guy who owns the gym....

Good job Rizster!! Hey, I did not know you were doing personal training!?

I just fill in his clients occasionally, they all want me when we're done though..
I will be using P/RR/S when i finish getting my ticket and open my own gym later next year

 

[Randy]

Sounds good Rissole... Yes, form is always the first and most important step for beginners. But hell, I've seen advanced lifters using lousy form as well. Many will try to show off by tossing on to much weight then they can chew just to show off in front of others.. Then their form takes a nose dive.

Sounds great to hear of your goal in owning a gym by next year. To bad you're so far away Rissole, I would pay you a visit.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice gopro. As far as training intensely I thought that was the only way to train...

You are welcome!

And yes, its the only way to train, but some people's definition of intensity is actually turning off their cell phone while working out

LMAO at the truth!!!!!

[Randy]

Yeah cell phones piss me off too..
Especially all the morons you see with them glued to their head while driving.
You will either see them driving 20 miles under the speed limit or turning right in front of you and cutting you off cause they couldn't turn their head to see if you were there cause of the stupid cell phone. I seriously think they should ban them from being aloud while driving.

But while in gyms or book stores, grocery stores, or even in class, those that don't turn them off are very rude in my mind. Well Grocery stores I guess its no biggie, but you know what I am trying to say. Let's replace grocery store with library.

I recently saw someone curling with one hand and talking on his cell with the other at my gym. After about ten reps he switched hands.

Utterly pathetic!

Hello, this workout routine was suggested to me by someone on the new members board, i'm curious to know, where do i begin with this all?

 

[Randy]

delanstar,

The best place to begin is in the gym


Hey...that sounds like a good sig...
"The best place to begin your day is in the gym"

Or maybe a bumber sticker.

I was going to tell the above poster to begin by reading all of your links, but it seems you have resigned as linkmaster and as a Team GP member

 

[Randy]

Gopro,

One thing you must learn is to never under estimate the "Link Master!"
Try scrolling down using the signature scroll bar on the right my friend before jumping to conclusions.

Sweet, i'll set up and get big enough so i can pay for them all to come over here.... then you won't be so far away

Try removing some space Randy.... its a long way to scroll....

That's what a roller mouse is for Rissole... Come on, if you can build 6,8 or 9 pack abs, you can scroll down 3 inches Think of it as a finger workout

Not only that if you click the bottom of the vertical scrollbar with your mouse, the Gopro logo and links pop right up

I purposely buried it, but that is only temporary for the Holiday Season.
Even Gopro can honor the Holidays

Screw the holidays dude, lifes only meaning is Team Gopro and P/RR/S training systems, the promotion, future and world domination thereof...!!

 

[Randy]

Sounds like you've been celebrating already Rissole
Either that or Gopro's kicking some green stamps your way

Don't get me wrong, I love supporting gopro and his cause... but I have other passions as well

Plus Santa brings me toys if I put his sleigh in front of Gopro's Logo
