I have seen significant increases with the BBS stuff, but that doesn't mean my arteries aren't hurting. It's just my diet has been a source of bad habits for so long.. maybe smaller changes around my work may help.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestions Methuselah, SkylertannerDelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517054128025491718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163554012880183003.post-84372998824569676662009-09-07T06:35:41.747+01:002009-09-07T06:35:41.747+01:00Skyler - as ever, thanks for your thoughts.

First I will try the longer rest period on its own but keep the food the same; then change the food instead or as well, depending on how things pan out.<br /><br />Deline - your progress is indeed impressive. I guess your diet might not be ideal, but it does contain what sounds like the essentials, fuel-wise - and perhaps your eating patterns are closer to what Skyler is recommending?Methuselahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134860337125242027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163554012880183003.post-49865723251149222822009-09-05T22:59:55.742+01:002009-09-05T22:59:55.742+01:00I skipped week of reporting, but I didn’t skip the...I skipped week of reporting, but I didn’t skip the gym! <br /><br />In fact, after “Week 10” I got ahead of my schedule. I had gone Week 9 Monday as usual, but this time I moved up the schedule and hit the gym on Friday for my Week 10. So semi rested 5 days instead of the full 7. After that, I got anxious and I hit the gym on Wednesday the following week for “Week 11”. Again, 5 days rest.<br /><br />I wanted to see if any effects were notable and all around I did better than I did the week before. <br /><br />Why am I seeing more consistent gains here than you? I can tell you for SURE, that my diet is piss poor. It consists of eggs, chicken, chips(bad habit of eating those), skim milk (a lot of it), some fruits, hardly any vegetables, and lots of meat. It's embarrassing and not healthy. I eat like a adolescent. Got to change that.<br /><br />I'm not proud of this in the least. And I've gained some pounds I earlier last few weeks. I'm back to 201 which I'm not happy about.<br /><br />My arms ARE bigger, my shoulders, legs, everything feels bigger and better... only that my gut got bigger as well. So maybe in your case, it could be more food? I am pretty sure I overeat and consistently eating over 2000 calories a day. <br /><br />I agree with you on the straps. I had grip problems again. I'm wondering maybe if gloves help? I don't know.<br /><br />I also stepped up the rest period to 5 days. I just wanted to see what would happen. So far nothing unusual and my pace is still kind of crazy. I mean, I pushed 380 lbs with my legs. 11 weeks ago, I would struggling at 200 lbs.<br /><br />Anyway, here are the numbers....<br /><br />Week 11<br />Overhead 130 / 49s 90 / 35s<br />Pulldown 155 / 1m 14s<br />Chest Press 155 / 1m 4s<br />Seated Row 155 / 47s<br />Leg Press 380 / 1m 18s<br /><br />Week 10<br />Overhead Press 130 / 45s<br />Pulldown 155 / 1m10s<br />Chest Press 150 / 55s<br />Seated Row 150 / 55s<br />Leg Press 360 / 1m15s<br /><br />Week 9<br />Overhead Press 130lbs 30s, 70 lbs 40s<br />Pull Down 150 lbs 1m10s<br />Chest Press 150 lbs 60s<br />Seated Row 150 lbs 1m15s<br />Leg Press 340 lbs 1m50s~ <br /><br /><br />I'm still stuck though on that @#* overhead.Delinehttp://www.professionalpickup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163554012880183003.post-52512936992698414582009-09-04T17:58:53.766+01:002009-09-04T17:58:53.766+01:00Hello,

Perhaps more fruit before and after for the next couple weeks and see what happens? This is how I build my eating around training and it has worked for me.<br /><br />Best,<br />SkylerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
