Well looks like a certain somebody needs to add a little conditioning work and tweak there diet.
Well I had to go for a wellness evaluation for my insurance for work. Damn…On the good side my blood pressure was normal along with my blood sugar level and bone density. On the bad side my Body fat level was a little high not a shocker since ive let my weight climb. Of course its a little too high. I’m at 270 on the digital scales we have here at the house…Whoops. It would be alright if it was all solid. The major issue is my cholesterol measured on the high side .Not major, just enough to raise my eyebrow.
Time to cut the junk carbs back and start doing some rope jumping.
Loved reading about the bitch trainer at the Y. I also scoff at the trainers in my gym (with one exception) because THEY ARE SO HORRIBLE. 270, eh? What was your competition weight at the last meet?

Take my word for it. You would probably hate this trainee as much as I do.
Yeah 270 right now… I was 263 at the Meet some of the weight gain might be from a little hypertrophy from the increase volume im doing right now. But im not holding my breath. Regardless it would be in my best interest to add some conditioning and clean up my diet. Not to mention getting back down to a more reasonable weight.
I picked up Bullpup from wrestling practice this afternoon. By chance his girlfriend was there and he introduced me to her. Poor girl probably dint know what to think.

Arm curls are boring only until you rip a bicep tendon with a heavy deadlift. Then they’re suddenly important.
So what are your plans for trimming up?[/quote]
Im on the border on whether or not how bog of a role doing direct bicep work has on preventing a bicep tear on the deadlift.
Now I will I have found for myself that they do help on raw benching. In the function of helping stabilizing the bar on the eccentric portion of the lift.
At this point im just planning to add a little conditioning work and just tightening up a few thing on the diet. In all reality im not making a actual conscious attempt to loose weight.

Arm curls help bench? Man, I’m gonna start doing tons of curls![/quote]
Actually im being serious. For me at any rate. I found that no matter how much chins or rowing I do I tend not to get very much stimulation towards my biceps. So I had to begrudgingly incorporate some direct bicep work into my program.

Holy Moley! thats a shit ton of reps dude. What program is this?[/quote]
Yeah tell me about it…I’m using The Juggernaut training system at this stage right now there is less intensity and more volume right now as I proceed the ratio will change as I progress.

How about a nice woodburner in the garage ??.
Bending bars is pretty damn cool !![/quote]
In all honesty I just need to insulate and dry wall my garage. But I cant do that until I get my bathroom remodeled along with getting are front porch redone.
Well bending a power bar is cool…unfortunately the bar I bent was a very low end York bar.

with the higher volume are you decreasing frequency of training?[/quote]
Nope…Still lifting 3 times a week with my 4 lift rotation. Actually im recovering easier with the higher volume. In all reality the actual intensity is pretty low right now. My next bench session will be the first time ill be lifting in the 80% range of my training max.
I’m liking the volume, dogg. To be honest, doing multiple sets at these higher rep range will by itself give you some of the conditioning you are looking for. Busting out heavy singles at the rate of one every ten minutes does wonders for your strength but not much for getting the heart going.
