It varies a lot, sometimes I go a bit faster through the whole set, sometimes I put a lot of effort into making the negative very slow (like when I want less weight to feel like more, for whatever reason), and certain exercises/bodyparts have larger ranges of motion (more time). A typical time, I'm guessing, would be about 3-4 seconds.

JRod, awesome thread, as always!

Really looking forward to seeing you take it this year at Team U. Good luck! Also hoping to be able to share that stage (Team U) with you in the next year or 2, a few weight classes below though!

Thanks, I appreciate your confidence in me--I hope I can come through on that. I'm sure we'll meet one day.

BTW, congratulations on your new thread, I'll stop by.

Hey Jeff
what was your major at UC Davis? I re watched your leg training video 2007 (maybe ) with Dave Palumbo at MD In The Trenches. Is there a 24 hr fit up there at Davis or I gotta go up to Sac.?

thx

Hello jeff, like to know what a typical day is like for you in the off season and pre season.....

Here's what my offseason looked like: http://jrod123.blogspot.com/2008/09/...t-tu-2008.html

Another diet thats like the offseason (cause of how far out i was):
http://jrod123.blogspot.com/2009/05/2019-weeks-out.html

And here is a pre-contest diet (from 10 weeks out, so still a decent amount of food): http://jrod123.blogspot.com/2009/07/10-weeks-out.html

As I get closer to the show, the structure stays very similar, I simply lower calories.

(I'm assuming diet is what you were talking about when you said typical day)

I haven't taken any pics in about 2 weeks, but I am working on a video for RxMuscle--should be done by tomorrow!

As for my weight, I have no idea. I haven't weighed myself in 8 weeks. Of course, its probably gone down cause there's no way its gone up.

I got my BS from Davis in Math. There used to be a 24 hr in Davis, but it closed down--there's one in Sac right by the Westfield Mall.
