The Original Online BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS FORUM. Advanced Techniques. Pro Tips & Insights. The Best Advice!

Hope im not in here too late hyper active. Good luck on the log. And btw im the guy that was talking to you over on the nolinksplease.com forums, just noticed your question about whether i have the same sn on these forums.

But anyways best of luck to you on this run

Rob,

The german loading pattern is as follows and says..."Designed to be used in concert with the big barbell lift of your choice"

Workout 1-50%x10, 54%x8, 61%x8, 66%x8, 73%x8, 78%x8
Workout 2-50%x10, 61%x8, 66%x6, 73%x6,78%x6, 85%x8
Workout 3-50%x10, 66%x8, 73%x6, 78%x4, 85%x4, 90%x4
Workout 4-50%x10, 73%x8, 78%x6, 85%x4, 90%x2. 97%x2
Workout 5-50%x10, 76%x8, 82%x6, 88%x4, 94%x2
Workout 6-50%x10, 64%x5, 76%x3, 85%x1, 95%x1, 105%x1


I don't understand what is supposed to be used for workouts 1-6
(is it all the same exercise?)

Also what confused me is the list of movements to incorperate with loaded stretches...

I understand that i am supposed to do the german loading pattern twice a week with EDT blocks...what i DONT understand is what exercises to place in workouts 1-6 and where the loaded stretches come into play.

OK here we go...

You apply that loading pattern to say, the bench press. When you're done with the bench press (6 sets) you can commence your EDT blocks inclusive of a stretch position movement:

EXAMPLE

Incline DB presses
DB pullovers (stretch position movement)

Lying tricep extensions with EX curl bar
Incline DB curls (stretch position movement)

Also, please see these threads for greater clarity:

Hope that helps!

The only thing i do not like about famine is that i'm dropping weight like crazy. Fat loss has increased of course and i know i will make some good gains come feast time so i'm not worried.

Rob, I apolgize now because what i am about to say is not going to go over well...I STILL don't understand

I'm going to try and break this down so hopefully you can explain...

The GLP consists of 6 workouts...

Workout 1 as i understand will be 6 sets of bench press for example. THEN i go into an EDT Block. What exercises do i put in for the other 5 workouts left in the GLP ? Is it all chest or a different musle group?

If you could just write out an example for one day using the GLP i think that would be helpful. Sorry for the trouble Rob, i know you work hard at answering every question you can. I just want to make sure i get this down right the first time.

OK here's a sample GLP workout for Bench

1.) Perform your 6 sets of the GLP as specified
2.) Proceed to the following 2 EDT blocks

BLOCK #1

Incline DB presses
DB Pullovers

Lying tricep extensions
Incline DB curls

With respect to your remaining 5 workouts, I like to see how your GLP plays out before recommendations. HOWEVER, in order to provide a suggestion, consider going BACK to your 5 workout HIT protocol.

Remember, your body hasn't "seen" it in awhile and it's the exact opposite of the multiple set protocol you just came off of. You'll also have a new 1RM to work with insofar as picking weights for your HIT sets (should be higher than your first time around).

As well, it sets you up well for another whiplash of progress when cruise rolls around for 5x5.

If this still isn't clear, PM me and I'll make other arrangements for you. Sorry again for it not coming across. I'm not communicating well, I can tell...
