MSR9889 wrote:not sure if todays workout was good or not. started off strong with the decline hold but once i started the edt blocks it kind of felt like i was back in famine struggling to lift heavy and dealing with the lactic acid build up.

decline bench- 95x5, 135x5, 185x2, 245x10s, 275x7s

assisted dips- -50 lbs x10, -60x10, -80x8, -100x8, -120x8
the weights felt like it only took off half of what i was using. it also only helped me bounce up and didnt resist much on the way down or support me at the top, so i guess this wasnt terrible considering the short rest between sets. the lactic acid in my triceps was holding me back and it didnt really feel like it was working my chest much.

superset with db rows- 45x12, 45x12, 45x12, 45x10, 45x10

military press- 135x5s, 145x7s

inclinde db curls- 25x10, 25x10, 25x9, 20x10
superset with overhead tricep extensions- 35x10, 35x12, 35x12, 35x8

A. Don't feel bad about it, Matt. This workout was a success!

REASON: The rest intervals specified "shift" the energy systems your body draws upon, meaning instead of the Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP dependent) pathway or the endurance pathway (VO2 Max), it shifts it to the other corner of the triangle;

The Lactic Acid tolerance threshold corner...

5Faces of Fear(tm) make changes for a reason; There's a reason then, for every season... :):):):)

guess ill find out with the next workout. i hadnt read through the workouts in advanced and didnt notice it goes back to higher weights after this, so ill be trying out weighted dips next week.
