Awesome training Randy! How often are you using rest pause? Hey this is my 2000'th post! Nice to have your 2000th post in my Journal, Joel! I use rest pause every 3rd week, usually.. I amy stick with 4-6 for a while though. Like the strength I know what you mean Randy, I've always believed that you've got to get stronger to get bigger! Although I know that I benifit from periods of lighter workouts, gives the old joints a break!

I totally agree Joel. Pumping is NOT my thing. I need to know that I progressed.

Remodeling the condo. Gymnastics. She is keeping up, but wishes she could train and diet harder right now. She will be more on track by next month when things settle a bit. She is still competing in the spring though.

Progression is key, mentally, as well as physically I find i dont 'feel' the workouts as much when i do shock and rep range. i love the feel of pushing some poundages and striving for new personal bests@ i look forward to power week more-so than the others.

Looking at your poundages makes me feel weak as hell right now. One thing i have had to get used to is the weakness that comes with leaning out. great numbers as always Rubes.

I get the same way Rubes/Hoops.
I feel it already. Mind and muscles are willing, but the tendons and ligaments are talking another story!
It just comes with the cycle of contest prep, I guess.
Rubes, your poundage still looks really good. You will be just fine!

I agree..... I'm just more comfortable, plus I can feel the muscle working more. I just make my adjustments by foor placement (ie: toes in/toes out, etc.). The cool thing about my gym is we DO have 100 lb plates. SO...IF I wanted to, our seated calf could hold at least 4 on each side, so that could get about 800 lbs. NOT that I could move that...but it's do-able.
