Exotic Routines for Training.

[Island Son]

"little black book of training methods"
http://www.t-mag.com/html/body_136lbb.html has a collection. There's an article on the same site, http://www.t-mag.com/html/1maxim.html , a Poliquin routine using 3 of them.

I'm going to try 5x5 for 3 weeks starting Thursday to see if my max goes up.

 

[Island Son]

5x5 is freaky. The 4th set really is easier than the 3rd. But going through a routine is adding 1/2 hour to my gym time. 3 more weeks will tell if it works or not.

Can you do that for all your bodyparts or just power movements...
Bench, Squat, Deadlifts?

 

[Island Son]

I'm trying it on everything. Shoulder presses, pullups, rows, curls... going slow as well, almost HIT.
cardio too... 5 sets of 5 paces with a minute's rest in between.

 

[Island Son]

Nah, I couldn't handle the cardio

 

[Sebass67]

No...1set of 5 paces
than 4,3,2,1


Don't worry u will get to five soon enough....

I can't do cardio anyway...i had knee reconstruction surgery...

No leg workouts for a while....



Did it playing football

 

[DaCypher]

How long ago did you have the surgery and what type of reconstruction?

 

[Sebass67]

I had it on Oct. 5th
ACL reconstruction

Real fun stuff.....

 

[DaCypher]

Yea, I've had ACL reconstruction as well. Are you doing any physical therapy for your leg yet?
