    Amazing, I could never do that! I am shaking too bad after calves and can barely walk, now that I think about it Im that way after squats too!

    If I were as strong as you I probably couldn't do it either! I did DC training for a period a few yrs ago and calves were trained first so I got used to it.

    I'm lookin ok, give another 4 weeks and I should be pretty cut. I can see everything now just need to keep my foot on the pedal. Skin is getting thinner everyweek. I need to get that shrink wrapped look like you!

    Yeah I know, its a gamble making a drastic change. Doesn't always workout the way you hope. This training is working great, I think partly because its not draining my nervous system so much. I seem to be recovering well.

    Joel:

    Like you, I've always based my training around high-intensity, low-set sessions with plenty of rest between sets. I stuck to the same training style pre-contest, believing that if I lowered the weights, I'd lose size.

    Do you find that you're holding your size well with this lighter but faster-paced training?

    Believe it or not yes! Its working really well and my joints are loving it. I plan to mix it up some going a little heavier maybe everyother bdpt workout but the volume is working great and if anything I've gotten bigger. Maybe thats just wishful thinking! lol But we'll see when I get a little further into the diet.

    Thanks, I don't have any endurance in my pecs. Those short rest periods and lactic acid buildup result in some pretty puny weights! lol But I am getting terrific workouts. I'm going to mix it up some next week pyramid the weights up some.

    I'm not telling you anything you dont already know..just a reminder, weights dont mean chit. It's obvious to the seasoned guys that you are busting your ass and that's what makes the difference. Lift as heavy as you can with the most intensity you can. IMHO doing a 500lb squat for 2 reps then resting for 3 minutes to do another set is far less beneficial to muscle atrophy than doing a 225lb squat to complete failure with very little rest between sets.

    We forget this when we get in the gym, you're no exception Hammer.

    This is why I do a combination of both!

    Yes WE do. I found myself adding weight to my squats every workout which is great but I have to realize that I have lower back and knee issues that are going to FAIL if I don't train smart. We don't have steel cables for tendons...well except for Joe!

    You are exactly right, we need to stay after each other! Thanks! Lisa always gives me this funny look when I add more weight to the bar and says, "but why"? I never have had and intelligent answer!
