zee doctor iz een...

the only monster i hope to create is me... so i am playing around with an olympic ladder scheme or for you bodybuilders, a pyramid. why? hopefully to increase my conditioning and my performance in the lifts.
and it goes something like this...
power clean, front squat, split press  3,2,1 reps
warmed up and then did the lifts. i added 10lbs each set then went down 10lbs. on the way down i did only 1 rep per set but tried to make the lift in one move.

started with the bar then 95, 115, and 135 lbs. work sets were 155, 165, 175, 165, 155, 135. felt easy and light. but that was my intention. after that i did some wrist curls 185 for 6 sets of 10 reps, then 2 sets of 15 with 135lbs.

i certainly enjoy the strange looks i get when doing this stuff. or maybe it was the stench from my rehband...some people are so stuck in their ways, glued to the same machine, and slaves to every "new" workout published in a magazine. if only they would try something different, even a small change! but i think some people are afraid to be challenged and grow. the box they live in is too comfortable...step outside the box.
