Nilbert Rafer's Training Log Updates
A bit of history: (at 5'5", 140 pounds, 49 years old)
(1) I did High-Volume Training, 3 times a week, on-and-off since 1982. (2) This June '07, for reasons I already posted in this forum, I shifted to the Mike Mentzer's Ideal Routine, but found it still as overtraining. (3) In July, I shifted to the Consolidated Routine, as suggested by MM, for those who find the Ideal Routine still taxing on their recovery ability. ========================================= July 14: Workout 1, (1st cycle) Deadlifts - 220 pounds, 2 reps; 230, 4 reps; 240, 1 rep Dips - 10 reps July 22: Workout 2 Leg Press - 500, 15 reps Pulldown - 165, 5 reps July 29: Workout 1, (2nd cycle) Deadlifts - 250, 6 reps Dipping Machine - 225, 6 reps August 5: Workout 2 Squats - 200, 10 reps Pulldown - 165, 7 reps ========================================= August 12: Workout 1, (3rd cycle) Deadlifts - 300 pounds, rest-paused 4 reps Press Behind Neck - 80, 10 reps Toe Presses - 300, 12 reps.
