Fantastic work!!

Do keep the Gain Train steamrolling, its way toward Gainsville!! Right here for you, in the event you need ANYTHING!!

FAVOR: Would you consider posting a somewhat "cryptic" review of The Blueprint to date, on Body Building dot com?

I only ask because I'm tired... tired of seeing kids squander their $ on chasing dreams you CANNOT achieve by, "Doubling up on that Pink Magic, brotha'..."

I well understand the psychology. It's going to take a LOT more, to overcome it. Still, every little bit helps!!

Please do let me know... :)

Rob, I will be posting up an in depth review of the Blue Print once I am done GLP1 so I have some solid numbers to go off of.

Another great day in the gym yesterday.

GLP1 Legs workout 2.

Lateral box step-ups: 25lbs dumbbells x 10 reps per leg x two sets.

Squats: 115/10 140/8 150/6 165/6 175/6 190/6- done in a slow controlled manner and with not much for real fatigue. Almost easy.

Did not do any E.D.T's as I developed some severe knee pain on the second round of Bulgarian split squats.

Top Range Rack pull: 195/10seconds, 315/10seconds.

Seated calf raises: 140/10seconds, 140/15seconds.

Aside from the knee pain the squats felt really good.

A. FANTASTIC!!

On that knee pain, it's a sign... a sign you need to insert an extra rest day!! Meaning if you're on a 1on/1off now, consider going to a 1on/2off, etc..

Periodically re-evaluate, once every 10 days or so. Feel free to consult me/us, at that point for further guidance... :)

Hope that helps!!

I really like how you lay out your workouts - doing the lateral stepups as a warmup? (I have to do those for knee rehab occasionally - had ACL surgery) and throwing in those YTWLI raises at the end of upperbody days, consistently. I should really follow suit with you here!


You're making some excellent progress, keep it up!

Absolutely AWESOME work here!!!

BAD NEWS: The body building dot com crowd says, "It doesn't work...".

GOOD NEWS: Would you consider telling the pirates, trolls and assclowns it does?... :)

Either way, soooo happy... you're happy.

Happy Happy... :):)

Fantastic work, ElderadoRacing!!!

Now, please consider the following prior to max day... :)

Insert just ONE extra recovery day, meaning if you're on a 1on/2off training frequency today, move to a 1on/3off...

Next, VISUALIZE your new 1RM not for a single, but for a TRIPLE!!!

Mentally rehearse this no less than 3x/day, with at least one of those sessions coming, prior to sleep.

REASON: As you drift off to sleep, it'll build into your subconscious mind. Therefore...

"What the mind can conceive, the body WILL achieve!!! :):):)

Finally, just prior to the new PR - Practice saying out loud 3 little words...

"Seize the moment..."

BIG breathe of air in, hold it tight as you keep a tight arch, ass anchored and DRIVING you shoulders into the bench, SQUEEZING them together think; EXPLODE... for a TRIPLE!!!

PRESTO, your new 1RM and another Believer winds up on the corner of Main St. and PR Drive, Gainsville... :)
