CARDIO UPDATE:

i was supposed to go and run on the track for another 3-4 miles like before. BUT....i met up with this girl and instead i just walked and talked with her for like 2.5 hours....oh well....i still managed to do some cardio....so ill probably do this again on thursday. except i might actually run this time lol...

DIET:

my food intake has increased. im happy. getting in lots of good calories. i ate 1 lbs of meat on tuesday. along with tons of corn and bread lol....and i did lay off the coke.

i will update today's workout in a short bit...

nice military presses man! wish i could press it

thanks man

Eric, i have a question for u which i think others might benefit from. if u feel i should discuss this via pm let me know ill delete this post.

but, i forget what im supposed to do to increase my military press strength.

when i discussed a progression scheme with u before u told me that if i was to jump to 3x5 its too big of a gap from 5x7. i agree.

SO, how does this sound:

next week = 5x5x125
week after = 4x7x125
week after = 5x7x125

does that sound good? we could even do

6x4
4x7
5x5
5x7

?

i love the fact that there is so much of flexibility in this selection of intensity, etc so please let me know what u think.

but just incase i havent been clear about this, i think i should do:

Week 1 = 5x5x125
Week 2 = 4x7x125
Week 3 = 5x7x125
Week 4 = 5x5x130
Week 5 = 4x7x130
Week 6 = 5x7x130
Week 8 = 5x5x135
Week 9 = 4x7x135
Week 10 = 5x7x135

wow....if u say yes to this and it actually works out can we have a new system called the Anuj Military Press progression chart? LOL

NO, you wanted to jump from 5x7 to 3x5 and only add 5 pounds, lol. That was too concervative is what I said. You can jump to whatever you want, really as long as the challenge is there. The truth is adding only 5 pounds and doing 15 reps would be a back off. Unless you wanted to do ultra short rest periods...but I'd rather you push heavier weights.

The beauty of all this is skipping around a bit, but the progression has to be there.

On the other thing you have to ask yourself if, at this point, there is a more direct and efficient way to progress.

If at this point you put on 10 pounds and got 3x5 that would be good. You're taking a break from the volume and getting more intensity. And then if you could build up the volume and density again, however it worked out, that would be the way to go.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

yeah thats what u said......i hate myself for clearing my inbox lol...sorry E

yes i would like to push heavier weight too. i dont want to do any back-off work right now....

adding 10 lbs = 130 lbs. fucking A...i wish i could nail 135 haha but i know that would be shit difficult. 130 is better.

ok, so E,

how about if i do this next time; 3x5x130. SO, if i am able to do 3x5 w/ 130,

Week 1 = 3x5x130
Week 2 = 3x6x130
Week 3 = 4x6x130
Week 4 = 5x7x135 (triple progression attempt like how we did with 120)

does this look ok for now? i wanna nail 3x5x130 but i think i could even do 4x5x130. either way, the progression stays relatively the same.

am i understanding u right?

Pretty much. If you can do that it would be excellent. But yeah, don't do 4x5. If you do the 3x5 you have a much better chance of making some really good progress.

alrighty sir! im all set....now all i have to do is be patient till next friday haha

Yeah, you're making really good progress on such low frequency. Proves a point to people who want to say "every 36 hours" like some type of mantra, lol. Progression like this is good no matter what.

On the OH shrugs you should be able to hit the 85 for some sets across if that didn't bother you. Now your really need to be taking a pause at the top of each rep. Don't go up and down like a piston or else you'll have to do like a million reps to be effective.

yes sir. i think low frequency is GOOD for me. u were right

oh im not a piston at all. i do then slow and very controlled. ill get a vid next time
