If I fo pyrmading I can do 65 for the first two sets (14 and 10) then hit a 70 for the third without too many problems. I'm just going to cycle through with 5's (so next week do 65,70 and 75 for the three sets then the week after do 70, 75 and 80) untill I hit a plataue.

If you're still kinda new to lifting, sticking with the Pyramiding is probably the best bet for you, for now at any rate. The Max OT stuff should only be done if you've been lifting for a little while and really know yourself and your limits. But after you've been training for a while, think about giving Max OT a try. It's the real deal.

If shit starts to fall apart maybe I'll try your way. But honestly, it's really hard to convince me to change.

That's the hardest part about training- being willing to change. Hell, I've been there. Everyone used to train each bodypart twice a week. Then a friend convinced me to train each part once a week. That just didn't sound right to me. However, I tried it, it didn't feel like I was doing enough work, but after a few weeks I noticed far greater results. Nowadays training each bodypart once a week is considered the norm.

The same thing holds true with Pyramiding. People have been doing it forever, why change? Finally, that same friend convinced me to try the Max OT style, and it just makes so much sense to me now. Use more weight in the beginning when you're stronger, instead of tiring yourself out early on with sets that don't build as much. My strength has shot up so much it's funny.

Try this stuff. I usually find it at Trader Joe's.

I'm so fucking tired right now.

Heh. Great story- you did the right thing, going again for the woman.

And with all that training, it sounds like you earned youself a day off.

What would we do without you Dole?

When I was working out, I was just doing the standard 3x 10reps working each of my muscles twice a week or so, but I guess this isn't the best. Once swim season is over and I have more free time, I'm going to start working out again. Once I plateo (sp :() I will give your shit a try.

I talked to my trainer that the gym gave me yesterday for the second time ever and he gave me a sheet with a breakdown on what to do what days to get really huge.

When I finish this cycle of NO-XPLODE I'm going to start the next doing things his way. It basically has me doing things no more than once or twice a week but hitting them hard. He said if I do each one of the four workout plans for a month and just keep rotating my body will never fully adapt and I'll keep progressing.

It's going to be so hard to change though.

Yeah, that shit is in your head. I quit cigarettes and cocaine cold turkey. I do not believe you're really trying.

Try drinking tea if you "need" the caffeine
You don't need the caffeine.

Opaque could you maybe scan those sheets? I'd be interested in seeing what's on the 4 plans.
