I want a refund for all the info I was taught at uni that ended up being wrong. “Constant rate of acceleration due to gravity”, my butt!

An excellent workout after a busy / crappy / ER trip from bloody stools kind of week. I slept 4 hours total Monday and Tuesday night; painted, hauled furniture, was in the ER til 5:30 a.m. after work one night (went back to work a few hours later)… It was an eventful week. Tonight’s workout was a wonderful return to normal living. Oh yeah, all the tests were negative, so things look ok.

Is this 3 reps, pause 2 reps, pause 1 rep ?

I got the idea from Thib’s recent “Skeleton Program”. It’s cluster sets of three, two, and one rep, performed twice, resting long enough to perform strong reps on the next set. My digestive tract is still messed up from the summer’s infection, so I’m not committing to a program, right now.

By the way, I appreciate your tag in the T-ransformation thread. Right now, I’ve not decided whether to join, because of the mess that infection left me with.

No pressure just tagged people who I though would have the consistency to see it through

What is up here? Have they cracked into what’s going on? I’m glad all the tests were negative, but you’ve struggled with GI stuff in the past. I’m hoping that you get some answers at some point and as always, if there’s anything I can do to help manage anything, please let me know!!!
