im confused by this though, once againQuoteAlso , i am doing only 2 days per week , 1 upper - 1 lower , so every workout is a week. Ill be doing a 3RM squat the other ( upper body ) day.
why only 1 lower a week ? i mean, sometimes you might want to do 2, especially when you're doing a strength session and an explosive session consecutively.. i mean if you feel you'd do fine on that then it's all good.. you have to lifting stimuli per week so it is good, but just saying, sometimes you might want to do two lower body sessions.. PR's are pretty much all that matters though so :F
peace!
Agreed , i was thinking of that too , when explosive workouts come in , i might do 2 lower workouts a week, monitoring how i feel etc.
That way , i may be able to do 2 repetitions of the explosive block ( 1:2:0 ).
Good shit , thanks for the tips man!
np mang!

5/3/2010
drank soda today when i went out to eat philly cheese steaks with my mom.. for dinner.. i have the weirdest response to soda man, i get super tired instantly, my eye sight gets a little worse, than an hour or so later i pass out and fall asleep.. happens every week when we goto this place.. i drink like maybe .5 L of birch beer rootbeer.. so it took me a while to wakeup during my workout tonight.
left big toe bugging..
back feeling good!
158 lb in morning, 161 lb before workout, 155 after workout
1.5 mile walk to basketball court
bball dribbling + shooting + layups + jumps:
- mostly bball dribbling, shooting, and layups/floaters, but i threw a bunch of jumps in at times
- most jumps were 10'4-10'5, after run-in with cop, i hit 10'6 and possibly 10'7 hah
- LEVEL-7 mang! ^^^
so during my bball stuff, cop drives by, so im watching him then around .5 miles down the road he u-turns and im like...... ahhhhhhhhhhh shit........... so he comes back, flashes lights/spotlight on me, calls me over, asks for my info, looks it up, asks me what im doing out at 2am, i say im just working out, and then he smiles and is like: "ok well i got no problem with it if no one else does, so have a nice night" boom.. so that was cool.. after that little incident, the mini level-7 kicked in and i jumped higher, had alot more power, that shit woke me up hardcore.. koz i thought i was gonna get kicked out so i was secretly pissed.
if the cop was a girl like the one above, i would have gotten them digits but it was a dude so that sucked, woulda been awesome if it was a hot chick cop, playboy playmate cop centerfold.
1.5 mile walk home:
- security guard at some complex was creeping on me, stared him down, wtf was he in the middle of the road looking at me for, leaving his booth, odd shit.. dude has a red car.. we stared down for like 2 mins then he walked off.. guy seems odd, 50 year old or so white guy with glasses.
for the police report ^
at home:
neutral grip pullups: 13
dips on bars: 15 + about 30 minis right after
mini chinups: 20 or so
dips on bars: 30 mini
done.

« on: May 03, 2010, 10:52:21 pm »Well, shit. I just got home from work. It's 9:25 and the gym closes at 10. It sucks because I have energy and WANT to work out but can't really do it right now without completely fucking my sleep up. On the plus side, my life is gonna get easier when I get back from my trip and my boss gave me permission today to take it a little easy this week because I worked both days over the weekend and have put in a bunch of 12+ hour days. So gym every day for the rest of the week (until I leave on Friday)...yes.
sux about gym tonight but cool about rest of the week..
god you are going to see some hardcore people in AFG, rugged cia/special forces peeps.

well, i do it by workout in that article, so your ratio would be more like:
strength:explosive:msem
strength block: 3:1:0 <- 3 weeks
explosive block: 1:2:0 <- 2 weeks
msem block: 0:0:2 <- 1 week
the block you listed is real small, but you get the idea.. strength block isn't just 3 weeks of strength, you'd do 3 strength workouts, then an explosive, then go back to repeating.. you would probably get through 1.5-2 rotations of that.
explosive block would still have strength maintenance, every 3rd workout.. so u'd do 2 explosive workouts (REA) then a strength one, then repeat..
msem block would just be purely singles/msem..
it's tough fitting the interval so small, well it isn't but it looks odd.. the idea of ratio is to not just do something for 3 weeks, then another for 2, etc.. there's always some kind of maintenance going on for each interval.. maintenance of the previous block or prep for the next one.. so there's always some kind of rotation going on..
so, going back to your previous block, it should have been like:
hypertrophy:strength:power = 3:1:1 for that hypertrophy phase..
hypertrophy:strength:power = 1:2:1 for that strength phase
hypertrophy:strength:power = 0:1:2-3 for that power phase
u see how it shifts pretty nice?
hope that helps...
Awesome, thanks a lot man!!!
Yeah , i didnt realise it was by workout , i thought it was by week , now i see the whole ratio pic better , i like!!!
Ok , im stopping gym for holidays at July 15 , so i have 11 weeks ahead
Also , i am doing only 2 days per week , 1 upper - 1 lower , so every workout is a week. Ill be doing a 3RM squat the other ( upper body ) day.
So it would go like :
strength block: 2:1:0 <---- 2 repetitions , 6 weeks
explosive block: 1:2:0 <--- 1 repetition , 3 weeks
msem block: 0:0:2-3 <----- 1 repetitions , 2 weeks
Strength workout = 4x6 squat , 3x8 BSS , 3x12 calves
Explosive workout = 4x5 DJs , 3x3 REA squat , 3x5-6 BSS , 3x10 calves
MSEM workout = 2x3x1 squat , 2x2x1 BSS , 3x8 calves
Finalised?
ya... there you go
see that looks good, from that we know you won't be neglecting strength/explosive.
im confused by this though, once again

My plan-change thoughts were also inspired by "the ratio technique" blog entry.
I studied it again though , so i see i must not eliminate high volume yet , the transition must be different.
Im not sure i have it right in my mind though.
Thats how i have them in my mind :
hypertrophy = high volume-heavy load , 4x6 that i was doing falls here too , could be even higher like sets of 8.
power = lighter weight , explosive lifting , such as jump squats , REA squats , cleans etc
stim = MSEM.
So if that categorising is correct , my last block was like (6:0:0) hypertrophy-power-stim
And i took it straight to stim now , close to (0:0:6)
Uhmmmm... Looks like that plan that i was thinking of doing would be a disaster. No strength , no power , just stim. A little nice peak in the beginning and then bye-bye , i would set myself on a yo-yo route again
Seems like I must do something like 3:2:1 ( 3 weeks 4x6 , 2 weeks REA squats , 1 week of MSEM )
Better?
ya thats why i was confused, i mentioned volume day i remember.. or was that in another person's journal..
well, i do it by workout in that article, so your ratio would be more like:
strength:explosive:msem

DUH!!! I just pressed "Post" and i got notified you replied while i was typing this!
And you said the 3x8 BSS covers volume? So that block would be indeed a good transition?
Duh , now my mind is blown , TILT!
haha!
well ya the BSS 3x8 is some pretty hard volume if you're going really close to those 8RM's.. that'd hammer glutes pretty hard.

« on: May 03, 2010, 06:10:45 am »maybe just training ppl on the side also, like if you got some weights at your place or something like that?
can't do that though, that's a bit odd.. i'd really have to trust those people that i'm training, at my house.. plus i need all kinds of insurance for that etc if i wanted to do it legit.. but ya it wouldn't work.
i wouldn't want to do that anyway though, training wouldn't be optimal for most people's needs, even though my backyard is pretty diesel.

book, online training, start working at a new place?
dno im thinking some deadend part-time job for a bit, my 'life parameters' are still a bit whacky so it's not like i can just go work at a performance facility..
i'd like to work somewhere in the hours of 6pm to 12am, so i can just go train right after work.. maybe a gas station or some open-late supermarket kind of place.
