Keebler Elf, I live in Santiago, Chile, so we are a long way off, although I (and my wife) would love to go to Australia. I have very close relatives there (Sydney and some other city that I don't remember) :) Saludos from Chile, JD

Man! If I see you out there I'm gonna hit you with those (blue) 5lb. DBs! Fortunately, in my gym they have those pink, yellow and blue DBs, but also the "regular" ones (with plates) in 2 KG fashion and increments. I saw a post the other day saying that if someone feels embarrased...

Keebler Elf, I get it. My problem right now, which I won't be able to really fix until my second cycle (when I expect to have higher RM) is that my RM are low and close together (15s from 10s and from 5s) so I have to repeat a lot of workouts so I don't: 1) Start each microcycle with a weight...

Keebler Elf, You adjusted weight between microcycles (including 15s and 10s) or changed your 5rm after the first 2 weeks of 5s? 25-30 reps? I don't think I get it right. For your second cycle you figured your 5 RM then how you decremented? A whole HST cycle has 24 workouts. If you exclude...

Hi Arcturus, Since it's good advice, I'll change the squats and other exercises that I'm starting too low. I'm trying to stay on the 5% range recommended. Yup, I tested them :-( Maybe my maxes will improve fast :confused: As always, thanks for the help. Hope tomorrow my soreness (I can...

Thanks Mikeh! Hi ARCTURUS!: the weights you see in my routine are totals, not on each end of the bar (I see you remember some of my earlier posts :D but I have learned). Do you agree with what Mikeh said? It sounds reasonable, although today I feel very sore on my quads from my first workout...

Hi, I0m also concerned about this issue. Since my RM's are very low, I can't use 10 lb. increment on many exercises. Can some of the experienced lifters take a look at: My routine (all weights are in lbs. unless otherwise noted on the name of the exercise). and see if I'm doing too much...
