Great start Brother, welcome aboard the P/RR/S Train!!! The weights will all come to you in time, like Brother Gary says, the first weeks are always the hardest, trying to guess what weights and stuff like that!!!Pylon said:Power week - chest and back
HS flat press - 180x5, 160x7, 160x5 (total weight)
pec deck - 135x8, 150x6, 150x6
db incline press - 60x5, 50x8, 55x5 (per db)
rack deads - 275x6, x5, x6
pulldowns - 145x8, 150x7, x6
bent over bb rows - 135x8, x6, x6
HS front pulldown - 90x8, 140x8, x7
I'd be lying if I said I was happy with the weights. This is why I love leg day so much. I feel like I really lag behind in upper body strength.
I think I can handle more weight on the deads, but I think the skin on my hands was about to give. Had to do the rows standing over a bench (no where else to go.) I hated spring break because of all the kids that would show up at the gym. Now I'm going to hate the summer for the same reason.
Overall, good w/o. Time was around 45 minutes. I took long RIs early (as Gopro suggests) but started cutting back later. I like the 1-2 min intervals, I think, not 3-4 min. Should be better next time thru.
No, no Angel stylin' on the dead. The skin on my hands felt like it was about to tear off as it was, I can't imagine trying to hold for the extra time that would have taken. My gym has a HS deadlift machine, I may try that down the road, just to mix things up.Archangel said:Great start Brother, welcome aboard the P/RR/S Train!!!

I feel the same. Except i'm the opposite of you.Pylon said:I feel so out of balance when I compare my upper lifts to my lowers...
Pylon said:Spending a couple of days in Fayetteville, NC. The hotel has a deal with a nice gym down the street, so should be able to hit the gym for cardio today and power arms/shoulders tomorrow.

That just makes me dread it more LOLCaptainDeadlift said:Have you seen the numbers he's putting up on leg day? Of course he's gonna have some fun!
How did you l;ike the drags? I tried them previously, but they didnt do anything for me except make my thumbs hurtPylon said:drag curls - 70x8, 80x8, 90x6 (put these in at the last second, wanted to change the angle a litle and didn't think cory curls would do it)
Thanks Roc...I may do that next time around. What kind of RIs am I looking at for RR and S weeks?Rocco32 said:Great w/o Pylon!! For Power week I recommend keeping the RI's to at least 2 min. If you wanted you could cut out 1 set from each of the Bi's and Tri's exercises and really make the 2 sets count.
Your putting up some nice weight buddy, have your numbers been increasing? Have fun with Legs![]()

I liked them as a change of pace lift. I don't think I could build a routine around them, but I always feel like bi work is so repetitive...curl curl curl...this was a change, at least a little, and made the transition from flex curls to preachers a little better, I think.BulkMeUp said:How did you l;ike the drags?

Quitter.Archangel said:GREAT w/o there Brother Pylon!!! Your numbers are lookin really good too!!! Sure, your into P/RR/S, and I'm seriously contemplating going back to HIT!!!![]()
Thanks Blu. I'm not sure how well I'm getting it just yet. These RIs are driving me nuts. Coming from HIT with no min rest to 3 min breaks is tough!bludevil said:Looks like somebody is catching onto P/RR/S routine very quickly. Nice wo pylon.
Stop, I'm blushing...Cris2Blis said:Nice WO P! Legs on Friday... you're my hero.![]()
Thanks. I still feel like I'm not lifting enough...I mean, the weights are right, but compared to leg day, I feel weak on upper work, you know?Seanp156 said:Geeez nice workout there Pylon, especially BB Military Presses. It was only a few months ago when I was benching 135.
