I’ve been wanting to find a training partner for a while. My schedule is just erratic, and the gym I train at is a joke. I definitely feel like it holds me back on certain lifts, not being able to really train to true failure due to safety concerns. Glad you found someone to help push you, that makes all the difference sometimes.
BTW, are you using insulin this time around? I know you’ve been really big on it in the past, but hadn't seen you mention it recently.
Sully, Jordon knows my full back ground and even knows me from PM.
Here's the scoop: We start from the basement with as little as it takes. We slowly increase as IS REQUIRED to maintain gains. When my lifts stop increasing all exercises in that failing muscle group will be changed out for others. If the pattern then continues, food and gear will be increased <<<OR>>> changed at the same time. The only imput I have on any of this is answering the check in question every Thursday with multiple pictures of me (Front, side and back).
He said "we don't need slin yet". so we have NO slin in play. Sully, I'm a robot soldier. He knows my goal is a return to the sixty class at the pro qualifiers and thinks it's "really cool". He has also seen previous much larger pics of me on stage and thinks we can blow the roof off them.
As far as a training partner? As usual your 100% correct. There is no way I could be pushing this hard without Mike yelling "One more John" or seeing his hand on the bar when I'm going for a rep I'm worried about getting. I'm now getting reps after my last mental failure rep. I believe that's one of the reasons I'm changing this fast.
As I turn the corner and start my second series of training the push, pull, legs, some of my lifts have gone down. Jordon said that's very common and actually a good thing that indicates the intensity of my training. He said "Not to worry matey"
Today is legs...………..here we go again!
