Weight and Maxes

9/16/2012

Weight is sitting around 182-184.  Holding strong.  I have cleaned up my diet a bit and have been able to maintain the gains.  I just have to make sure I am getting enough carbs from clean sources.

I tested a couple maxes a bout a month ago.  
DL-300# 
Bench- 155#

It's interesting how close in weight my 1rm and 3rm are in things.  I guess it goes to show I am pretty much slow twitch.  Who would have thought a former ultra endurance athlete would be slow twitch right? I think that is also why I saw such gains with 5/3/1.  The rep records really motivated me and I think the high rep sets have a greater effect on my body than the lower rep sets do  re: hypertrohy.

Here is a cool chart I picked up at EliteFTS.  Don't get stuck on rep ranges.  Think about the Time under tension in a set and what metabolic pathway you are trying to hit.  There's morr to lifting than 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps kids.
