You might want to go Saturday and Sunday back to back....rest Monday then begin week two on Tuesday. You will probably want to keep the volume low on Saturday and Sunday....maybe only do 1 set per exercise. I think that will get you back on track. Joe G

Ideally you should be hitting failure on your 15th rep. If you got 15 reps easily on your first set and only got 10 on your second set than I would say you need a longer break between sets. You meant 15 reps* not set* right? Joe G

Knee caps flying into the crowd sounds terrifying to me Maybe I'll only go up 10 pounds for my deadlift instead of 20 on wednesday after that visual. :confused: Joe G

JV, I kept waiting for you to say JUST KIDDING the whole time i read that . Thats a great story.... And out of curiosity what are you doing where you will be richer than god in a few years? Joe G

I am also puzzled how 1015 pounds can fall on you and you can not be seriously injured. Joe G

Im pretty sure that means 6 jars for 170 bucks. Unfortunately... Joe G

Thanks for the responses guys: Fausto, The uprights will be lower to target the shoulders (I need a break from shoulder presses, been doing them for 16 weeks now) And for some reason the skull crushers always beat up my elbows too much so I like to stay away from them. I'm curious as to why...

The rep blocks will go like this (12-8-5-negatives) Frequency= Monday, Wednesday, Friday Incline Bench Press 2x Squat(A) 2x Deadlift(B) 2x Lat Pulldown (Handle) 2x Upright Rows 2x Barbell Shrugs 2x Tricep Pushdown 2x Incline Curls 2x Leg Extension (B) 1x Leg Curl (A) 1x Calf Raise 2x I've been...

Your sayin deads and squats take care of all of your ab work? How do your abs look when your lean? Joe G

Apparently Gene Rychlak attempted to Bench Press 1015 pounds at the Olympia this year. To say the least he was unsuccessful, check out this link from bodybuilding.com. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/2005olympiares.htm Hopefully hes ok... Joe G

You certainly don't need 3,000 calories a day at 145 lbs. so if you dont meet that requirement for the day don't sweat. I also think a lb. a week is a good way to put on weight, by that I mean I dont think its too fast. Like Totentanz said you can always cut it off later. Joe G

I may be the only person who has read all of JVs post . While it is interesting regarding CNS fatigue and exercise, it does not touch upon CNS fatigue and training to failure. JV points this out himself in the post. Also, Actually I do believe that in one of John Little's training routines...

Not gonna lie I was really confused Joe G

Like I said in the other post....not accurate at all!!!! Get your real bodfy fat done, then youll know what kind of cycle and diet youll want to be on. Joe G

Spyke, Your not 28% body fat. Bathroom scales that claim to give bf% are garbage. I am at 13% (when done with calipers by a trainer) and those scales read me in at 25%. Your gonna have to get it done at your gym to find out what you really are. Joe G

OK....I've got another strategy question for you guys that have run Single Factor before..... On Friday I got 215 for 3, however today (Monday) I was supposed to get it for 5 and only got 3. Do you think I should raise the weight for my set of 3 reps on Friday anyway? Or just stay with the...

Like any weight training workout HST is not aerobic. However I do believe the 15 rep block enhances endurance if that is what you mean by stamina. If you want to reduce fat you will have to eat in a daily caloric deficit of your current maintenance. Certainly running will help burn calories and...

Pinzon, Yea you normally you would take a SD after every 8 week cycle. However there is nothing that says your cycle cannot be longer than 8 weeks. So if you feel like an SD every 8 weeks is too many breaks than feel welcome to lengthen the cycle. In regards to your abs question: most of the...

How important do you guys think doing abs is while bulking? I don't really have too much motivation to do abs while bulking because I know I'm not really gonna see them anyway. Do you think that neglecting them during a bulking cycle would have an effect on how good they look during a cutting...

I would be concerned about continuing to bulk at 28% bodyfat. I think you should start a cutting cycle now so you can see the muscle that you have been working for. Also, dont stop your cutting cycle at 17% bodfat, your going to want to go lower than that. Going on a cutting cycle would also...
