7 Rep Max

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 6:26pm
This week  was the wrap-up for my HST 7 rep set, and I was pleased with how it went. I had some other issues I was focused on and afraid I might be distracted going into the gym, but I was really focused and for the most part had two great workouts. Here was my routine for the last three weeks. I did the far right column this week.         Day 1 3x7-1 3x7-2 3x7-3 Incline Press seat@3 130 135 140 Decline Press @3 55 60 65 Incline Situp @7 35 40 45 Dips 25 30 35 Leg Raises 5 10 15 Cable Fly Arms@4 40 45 50 OH DB Shoulder Press 30 35 40 Tri Ext seat @2 70 75 80 Tri Pushdo...

Dealing with a Bad Week

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 6:26pm
So this week was more about not falling back then making any progress. I started to come down with a cold end of last week and although I never really got too sick, I had a sinus ache and runny nose most of the week and felt crummy. So didn’t do any cardio all week, and just lifted twice. This week, my HST program went from 2 sets of 10 to 3 sets of 7 (volume change from 20 to 21 reps). Since this was a transition week, I went a little lighter on the weights, partly because I wasn’t feeling so hot and partly because it’s actually good for you to give your tendons a break while you transition....

Cut Progress: So Far So Good

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 6:26pm
Progress is coming along well, I finished my 2nd week of the HST routine, and still fine tuning some of the weights and exercise order. Used the calipers again today and navel is at 18 mm (down from 20), hip at 6 mm (down from 8mm) and love handles still at 16 mm. Waist measurement is down 1/2 inch to 33.5, but other measurements chest, arms & thighs are same or bigger, so cut is working the way it should (so far). Here's a few pics.

Abdominator Thanks! Yeah... I've been experimenting with making "digital tattoos" with Photoshop. I think that collar tattoo is the most realistic so far. :) Feb 4, 2009 4:35am

VP4sports Yeah late in the evening is tough on everyone. My kids have popcorn all the time when they watch TV so its tempting to eat the entire bag. I've started eating almonds at night because the crunch is great. Getting them lightly salted helps me fight cravings. A protein shake or drink and almonds or yogurt at night could work for you too!

VP4sports I read your blog and left a comment there. I just noticed you left one on mine. I didn't know how to see if anyone had read it so sorry for not responding. Keep up the great work! CV Jan 9, 2009 10:24am

VP4sports Hey I'm trying to find a way to make a healthy pizza because I crave one every day. My knee injury is hear to stay so that is why I must be careful doing legs but it's also a reason I must keep my leg muscles strong. So a little balancing act. Keep at it and I will follow your progress. I will post more progress pics soon. Take care, Chuck Jan 2, 2009 9:42am
