I can imagine you rowing a row boat down a frozen street in Saskatoon.

Ha! That might be more fun than rowing in the gym. Cardio is so boring!

Thougths

Well comparing last time I did this workout's numbers to this week it seems I did a bit better. Felt like an overall solid workout.

Latest plan is to start an 8 week cycle of strength and hypertrophy.

4 weeks hypertrophy - 4x10, 3x8, 5x5 etc

4 weeks strength - 7x1, 5x2 (pretty much what I'm doing now)

The plan is to start a the first hypertrophy cycle when my buddy gets back from cancun in a couple weeks. (which I'm not going to this year.... wah!)

Do you think for the hypertrophy cycle we should add in more exercises to really bump up the volume?

you could throw in some isolations....shoulder health stuff....yada..yada.

cancun would be nice....how's your weather been lately?

iron_worker · #**827** 02-08-2009, 07:07 PM

Good idea on the isolations. I like your thinking.

Ya Cancun was F*ing awesome last year. Its probably a good thing I decided not to go since I lost my job shortly thereafter. I'm hoping to have something lined up again soon but who knows.

The weather here lately has been pretty nice actually. Right around freezing and sometimes a bit above. Pretty warm for feb.

That was what happened to me, so I stopped. So you are having carbs before or after your workout, right?
