thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[AtomAnt]

We missed you too Atom!
Now u just confused me ..lol..hey veteran cerebellums run sometime backwords and get confuses easy so i need..lol
You say pick a weight that u can do 8 reps with but only do 4 reps 4 reps x 6 sets..Set a sasquatch straight as this sounds very intrigueing..
Today i better take off and get some work done so hope everyone has a great day and we are in monsoon weather so i got rubbers on 24-7..ib

Yes, I'll use an example of how this works:

Let's say you can do 8 reps with 100lbs on Incline DB Press -
Do 4 reps, rest 10 seconds; 4 reps, rest 10 seconds; 4 reps, rest 10 seconds; 4 reps, rest 10 seconds; 4 reps, rest 10 seconds; and 4 reps. That is ONE round.

Then you rest for 90 - 120 seconds depending on the movement and do another round.

You repeat this until you complete four full rounds.

Even though you are using you 8RM and only doing 4 reps, because you are resting for such a short time by the time you get to the end of the round you are torched.

Pretty cool, right?

Wow, what the hell was I thinking that I could do cardio after the muscle rounds for legs!?! I haven't done these in years, and now I truly know how to push myself. You do not realize how hard these get until you actually do them.

Think about after every 4 reps you are only resting 10 seconds...and doing that 6 times. The pump, the pain, the focus, the intensity...oh yeah, it is all there. I was soaked through two shirts and my legs were on fire. Not a chance in hell cardio was happening lol.

So, basically it's 24 sets after all is said and done?

Yes. 6 mini sets. Then 90-120 second break, repeat...

Seems like a lot of volume number wise, but it's basically a RP set without going to failure, because you are allowing oxygen in just enough to keep going where you would usually fail. Interesting. You like punishing yourself, don't you. lol

Arms and delts yesterday, still swollen today. Love that.

Rest day today. Oh, delicious rest day.

It is a decent amount of volume and trust me, by the time you get to mini-sets 5 and 6, you are going to to failure. Those are brutal reps at that point.

If you look into Titan Training you'll see how unique it is. And yes, I do enjoy punishing myself. I feel like shit when I am not able to put myself through hell with regards to training. There is just something mentally satisfying about knowing your body has been pushed to its physical limit and you are getting better and better.

This morning when I lifted my legs out of my bed I just yelled, "Holy fuck!" because my legs were so sore. I was definitely not expecting that kind of muscular trauma. this is some badass shit my friends.

 

[swolesearcher]

Wheels day! love & hate training legs LOL

Damn, no training for me. Covered up at work. Hopefully tomorrow. Busy is job security, right?

Nah, there are only two days out of the week that you do muscle rounds.
Muscle round day 1: quads, hammies, calves and chest
Day 2: back, shoulders, bis and tris

You do the same set/rep/round scheme for each muscle

The other days are different.

Good luck, Turbo. You'll be back to training in no time. You should get an in-home nurse. Much better than a clapper.

Oh, and yes, I opened myself up to that, but it's so rare that I think of something funny that I couldn't resist.

 

[Ironbuilt]

Hoping for the best brother. Maybe try a fleshlight when need tog et your rocks off in a pinch.

I haven't done cardio since I started this program and I am leaner lol I've finally got that "pop" back in my muscles and am feeling good. After i few more weeks on this program I'll try to get some pics posted up. Bodyfat is mid 7% to low 8% based on calipers and the bioeletrical impedance.

Tonight the line up is muscle rounds for back, tris, shoulders and bis.

Saturday is my "fun" day. last weekend I did a Mountain Dog arm pump workout an I might do something similar again. Or I might do DC rest pause style chest, some shoulder drop sets and high rep bis and tris supersets.

 

[Ironbuilt]

Lol Atom said Fleshlight...prob bettr than a sweet potato..
Well i did a mediocre back day ..i used these fat gripz and im on the fence of good to dumb..i must say u gotta drop weight on sets because of the forearm burn but another thing im no size 12" shoehanddick" size either..but i do feel forearm pump but not as good a back..i know remove and do higher weight ib u dummy..ok i was lazy today..low food consumption and rare 80degree heat
Have a great night..brick u must be tanning and triple with mom..lol..
