PLANS FOR SUNDAY. . . . . .

VISIT LOCAL BUFFET AND work on literature review for thesis.

Plenty of food and rest. . . I will start biking soon, so I will have to increase caloric intake to 6000 to 7000 calories per day.

Looks great! Your barbell curls are progressing nicely on this low volume plan

Good job man...

Still confused as to why you would not do squats first?

 

[ffknight84]

from personal experiance, if i do something else besides squats ( exceptions - back lifts ) i am too drained from my squats to do them effectively. I know speed squats aren't regular squats and all, but they can stuill drain you. IMHO

do you ever feel like that b fold, or squats just dont drain you like me ???

Squats take a bit out of me...but squats are MUCH more important than curls... Shouldn't you devote the most attention to the most important exercises???

[ffknight84]

completely agree, thats why i dont do those on the same day.

I like to get the small stuff out of the way then focus on the main movements at the end.

Bicep and forearm training takes 10 minutes.

Plenty of energy left for the bif movements.

Great work man. I'd love to try this low volume plan but not sure if it would even work.

Very impressive most people would go out/drink/party on a Saturday night. Not only that but your numbers are most impressive.

This 1 set routine works. I am doing the same thing right now as louden (1 set, sometimes 2) and not to failure to allow for more frequent training

Think some AR with bands and some ice could help that tendon?

Think some AR with bands and some ice could help that tendon?

Probably. . .right now, I am using two medium sized knee braces as elbow braces. . . this helps trap the heat around the joint.

I am also taking glucosamine.

Do you ever get tendons that ache?

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Sure man. I just make sure I listen to my body. It's the only way I will last.
