Link's Training Journal Building with BRO-Tech- It's a Celebration

[Misanthrope]

I was just tossing that idea around. I saw a post in Lencho's journal by kethnaab and he stated that the 3 sets do not have to be in any particular order. As I have expressed in the past, that set at 95% is hard as hell. I was wondering if going to the top set (90 95 100%) would be any different. Would it be to my benefit to keep them in the 90 100 95% order.

There may be no specific rule as to the order of the sets (the percentages themselves are arbitrary), but it would seem to be that a 90 and 95% set preceeding what might be an all out effort would certainly add fatigue that could affect your work on the 100% set. It just makes sense. If you want to stair-step up like that, I would widen the intervals and possibly pyramid the reps down.

I'd do the 100% first as well.

And the military presses look strong!

I hear what you are saying. I was just po'd that I couldn't get the reps that I should have and have already done.

Thanks Heisman. There is more to come.

Nice workout to start the week. Squats were great. Back off sets had me huffing and puffing. I wanted to add in hamstring curls but did not have enough time. The rest times as compared to bench days were longer which leads to longer workout times. Nice workout to start the week. MISSINGLINK OUT>

Thanks BROther.

Nice squatting, Link. The back-off sets looked strong, given the amount of weight you were using for your worksets.

Great squats link. Do you have any lifting vids?

Thanks guys. I wish I had videos. I workout in my home in like a rec room sort of thing. I am going to try and get some. My wife would think I was an idiot if I video'd my workouts. Women.

Who says she has to know? If Mozelstein can be married 10 years without his in-laws knowing he has tattoos I think you can manage this.

wife of Link:What's that video camera doing on that shelf?
Link:Oh, I just thought it would look nice there. Uh, could you scoot over and not stand right in front of it, honey?
