Well that was in interesting wake up call after a lazy week.
Leg Press 320X7
Squat 225X7 No Smith machine available, used BB
I think I may need to stay at these numbers for one more week even though I can easily go higher on the leg press. I feel as if I am where I need to be on the proper way to do the reps and my endurance it tons better than it was. After next week I should be 100% on form and timing. I really have to fight the urge to NOT go to fast on the reps. I really never did any leg presses so my flexability is just now where it needs to be.
I was not able to get to the reverse hyper machine for that and the obliques so I will need to make those up during the week. Damn spin class ended and everyone was doing abs afterwards.
Diet is back where it needs to be and should not be a problem at all this week. Plenty of left over turkey and sweet potatoes. I also seem to have lost a little weight over the past couple of weeks. I think the carb reduction is having a huge impact. The thing that sucks is most of my body fat is in my gut, makes me a skinny fat guy.
More news tomorrow

All good yesterday and today. will do details tomorrow night
OK
don worry abotu the Gut we will adress that in the Second Level more Directly.
Do ytou feel the weight loss as of Lately is Fat?
As far as Rep Speed One day you will be lifting so much under complete control that the urge to lift faster will be diminished offset by the sheer magnitude of the intensity you will generate.

This is basically a summary for day 2 and 3. Sorry of the delay.
I am truly realizing why the rep scheme and using machines have their place in this program. For the first time ever I actually feel as if I am hitting the target muscles correctly. It slows down my workout waiting on the machines sometimes but my chest work outs seem to be better than ever. In the past it was always the only lift that I could never improve much on.
cable bench 90X7
Inc bench 70X7
Now I know there has to be some kind of additional resistance on these machine because my normal flat bench is around 240 so I have to hope the cable numbers are off.
Now for back - There is a machine that you sit in that allows you to do one or two arm rows. I am using it for one arm rows and it works better for me than regular db rows. It allows me to limit the amount of arm use.
One arm machine row 45X7
db Shrugs 90X7
On the shrugs I may be in trouble soon because the db's only go up to 100lbs and I can go up on those currently.
On both of these days I was able to make up for the missed ab work out from day one.
I know my log has lagged behind on posting but my diet and workouts have not lagged at all.

dont worry about the Log so long as you keep trucking
Just catch up when you slack.
The Lesson about the machine was one that took me a long time to accept, I went through Injuries, lack of progress ect.
Then I started following my gut and then applying Intelligent Strategy.
Everything changed after
As far as shrugs STOP at the weight you use
maybe even go back down to 80's and just rep out.
GOOD WORK!

I forgot to add that I did complete day 4 which is the circuit for me. Using the machines was not really a question of not wanting to it was more a reality of being able to get to the few that are required. For now most seem to be skipping the gym so its not as crowded but we all know that will change in January. COME ON STAGE 2

Today was leg day and I stayed at the same weights as last week to concentrate on the tempo. I really think that I have that where it should be. BUT it would not be me if there was not a problem. I am really having trouble using more hams and glutes on the leg presses. It always hits my quads hard and nothing for hams. I just can not get that down. I have tried many different feet positions and it all feels the same.
Two things are confirmed on the diet. First I have lost about 5lbs so far and second I still get hungry as hell between lunch and my protien drink when I get home. The 5lbs that I have dropped have had an effect on the waist line. When I wear my 36 inch waist Levis I need to use a belt. I am also going to confess my drinking days, I like to plan ahead.
1. When the Patriots finally loose a game. (may or may not happen)
2. When the Dolphis actually win a game. (may or may not happen)
3. If LSU takes home the national championship.(again this may or may not happen)
4. New Years Eve. No chance in hell I will be sober that night

Excellent I love the Nuances you give it helps me alot.
1: ADD ONE more Shake if you wish to curb that craving.
2: Tempo will be a big part of Level 2, NOT weight so your doing the right things!
3: weight loss is almost a sure sign of Muscle gain , since this routine is NOT that cardio intensive.
