Journey, Not A Destination

that's the downfall to web relationships -peoeple disappear from the web all the time - you really never know where they go to... :(

you - youor personality, your advice, your presence (and not just your nekkid chest) would be missed...
 
Thanks :eek:

I would miss you guys too.
 
Hey, Steve. Yesterday was day 2 of my new weight program that you helped me design: BB Squat, Incline DB Bench Press, Deadlift, BB Row, Ezbar Curl, & Ezbar Tricep Ext. I know you told me to skip the last 2, but I like doing them!

Anyway, I was expecting some DOMS in my quads again from the squats and deadlifts (tough to do on the same day!), but instead I've got major DOMS in my traps of all places. Is that from the BB Row and/or the deadlifts?

From both actually. People don't realize that deadlifts work EVERYTHING. You are pulling the weight with your traps as well as the rest of your back and entire posterior chain.

With the curls and extensions, how many sets and reps are you doing?
 
I never really appreciated what a great exercise the deadlift is!

I'm doing a superset with the 70# ezbar, 5 x 5.

You mean 5 x 12, or 3 x 12. And why?

Sorry, actually, ideally 2x12.

Lower reps, therefore heavier weights, stress the CNS more. This is part of that whole "managing fatigue" thing I talk about often. When I say fatigue, I am mainly speaking about overly taxing your central nervous system, which is the initiator of all your movements.

When training for hypertrophy, we can stretch these "secondary" exercises out a little more. Get more bang for your buck. Do more volume and even add some heavy stuff in there.

However, when you are dieting, I really don't see a point. If anything, I think it can have a negative impact on your ability to recover during times of energy deficiency.

My biggest thing while dieting is training efficiently. And doing exercises that only target one muscle group is far from efficient.

Remember, you are hitting your bis and tris on all of these other exercises.

I have gone through bulks, where my main concern was hypertrophy, without doing a single arm isolation exercise. And I NEVER do them when dieting.
 
OK, you convinced me! Instead of the bi/tri, I think I'll substitute the pullups, which I was only doing on workout #1. Sound good?

What do you eat for lunch, Steve?

Which lunch, lol.

I eat 6 meals per day, 7 if you include my workout shake.

My 3rd meal of the day, which normally falls around 12-1 consists of, currently:

4oz of top sirloin steak, 1 oz of hard chedder cheese, 1 oz of almonds, 1 cup of veggies, 1 tsp of Udo's Oil Blend
