How long do you guys wait in between each set? And then how long do you wait between working each different muscle/between each different exercise?

imo wait long enough so that you can complete the lift with the goal number of reps (if you get a couple more reps then great!).

Usually like 2 minutes for me. If its big heavy lifts then like 3-4.

IMO hypertrophy (muscles getting bigger) has more to do with diet than rest time.
 
^^ Cool, thanks for the info mate!

SirTopham, it turns out most of the time I do supersets, I just didn't know they had a name. I just thought I was being impatient and/or short on time (e.g. working out in my lunchbreak) =D


Did my usual weights session today, and some interval running on the treadmill. Pushed it pretty hard today, I want to get my speed up as well as my long-distance endurance.


By the way, I love doing the "plank" abdominal muscle hold. You can really feeeel the muscle fibres doing their thing!
 
now that is one exercise i could focus some on. i miss hurting in plank. do you do both full and half (side) planks?

oh and just to brag, part of my triceps workout today included both kinds of dip (full weight and from a bench). i got the bench kind up to 30 reps =D feel like just yesterday when i couldn't do five without a rest.

I don't do side planks very often because my left shoulder doesn't like it one bit. But yeah I am a massive fan of the plank :)
In fact, I'ma do some right now!


Today I just did 5km on the elliptical/cross-trainer. Turned the resistance right up, leant forward and seriously pumped that shit out.
 
45 minutes of running through some pretty tough hills. Essentially sprint till you can't sprint no more kind of stuff then go again one my heart rate drops to 150-160.

I did a few pull-ups to just with bodyweight since I'm pretty weak there and I finish at a park with a nice bar. 2 Ladders 1-5 reps for 30 total.

Some people do side planks up on their hand with the other hand stretched upward. Sort of like a crucifix position but tipped on the side.

Obviously it would change the exercise somewhat but I think it'd take some of the direct pressure you are getting on your left shoulder away.
 
Hmmm I will definitely try that, thanks mate!

*edit* just gave it a try and YES it was much nicer on my shoulder. Harder work though ;)
Thanks again!


Also, when I was doing my regular planks before, one of my cats came and curled up underneath my plank formation hahaha. Way too cute =D Just thought I'd share that with you all.
 
Boooyah - 30 minutes of aqua therapy...

yeah I really REALLY miss lifting :( , in time being in 6 weeks I will have my personal training certification :).
 
tore my ACL about 1 1/2 days before brother. So just been under the knife n what not :(. Hit the bottom of the squat rack and heard a snap.... knew i was screwed. It's been very hard, my lift contest is cooked. Just have to roll w injuries bro.
 
get ahold of some IGF-des1,3 if you can dude. It will help.

insulin will also help you it will synergize with the IGF...be careful about dosages of both insulin+IGF+AAS is 1+1=10


I tried something new since my joints are hurting. took my max for bench and oh press and took 60% of that and did 10 sets of 10 reps with 45 second of rest between sets. First five sets easy as shit! Last five sets...NOT so easy! :D
 
About a hour low intensity cycle machine, walking, low intensity dunbell bench presses, planks, situps, seated bicep curls. followed by about 20 lengths of swimming lightly crawl. then a long sauna..

Took about 4 hours, plan on another long day tomorrow starting early.. focusing on chest and triceps, more low intensity cycling and swimming

Way ahead of you brother ;)

Once you convinced me to slin, I've been making sure everythin works hand in hand. You know I know my anabolics, and nothing comes more so than insulin !!!!

btw i have a pdg of anabolics 2009 / 2010 - if you want a copy let me know, 698 pages, great read.
 
sure dude, how big is file can you email it with safemail???

Mehm, I havent surfed in almost 7 months :( I had too much fun con mi chica to make the pilgrimage to the outer banks this summer. This summer we are going together though.

did you get to cutback yet? (my favorite thingto do on a wave :D).
