Oh yeah, exercise…
…had almost forgotten about these, haven’t you? Well, still doing them. Last week was a light week due to various deadlines - mostly one exercise each night to figure out a max that works.
Slight change of plan - instead of the 2-set version, I’ll try out the protocol in http://www.exrx.net/WeightTraining/LowVolumeTraining.html and go for a two-day split program. Exercises use more weight but only a single set with a quick low-weight warmup, sometimes with just the bar for warmup. I’ll go for a push/pull split - today is push, with the basic strategy of aiming for 8 - if I make it, then next time I put on five more pounds. If I do four or less, I should drop five pounds next time.
Bench press - 1X5 at 150 pounds (aiming for 8)
Squats - 1 X 8 at 250 pounds (move up to 255)
Shoulder press - 1 X 6 at 125 pounds (aiming for 8)
Dumbbell flys - 1 X 6 at 50 pounds (aim for 8)
Various pushups afterward
Anyway, these sets are good for getting my max lift numbers higher. I’ll try this for a few weeks, see if my numbers go up or not.
