Okay so this is week two of this pattern of training. I have been continuing along very well over the past week, and I am starting to see some strength gains in my regular lifts…My 5×5 on the bench has gone up ten lbs; and that is before I would have normally done so…I am definately happy with this routine. It is one I will have to keep in my "pocket"

Another breakthrough, well a couple concidering that I haven’t posted in a while. I have been killing it in the weight room over the past few months, and really havent had the motivation to post on the blog…but that is besides the point, I now have some stuff worth posting about. FIRST: I am now maxing 315lbs on the bench and 500lbs for squats. That is awesome. Also, I just took a "pumped" measurement of my arms and they are hovering right around 17". Hovering meaning give or take an 8th of an inch…but anyway I am majorly stoked!!!!

Okay so heres the deal…I tried the workout, and it killed me. I definately wasnt expecting what it put me through. But thats all cool. No pain–no gain. I was feeling really pumped afterwards, and that was fantastic it was just the DOMF that killed me for the next two days. I am going to continue this routine and see what results I get.

I was reading in this months issue of Muscle and fitness about a lifiting technique that incorporates a work/pause method. This way you save yourself and then are able to do more reps with higher weight. In the article they calculate that with this lifting routine it is possible to lift 146%more weight than what was previously done.

The way that it is set up is that for lets say bench press you do 3 reps of you 5 rep max(RM) for 6 working sets. During the process you rest 16, 17, 18, 19 seconds in between (respectively) each set. This process alows you to do more reps with a heavier weight, and hopefully in turn making more strength and mass gains.

I am going to give this routine a try, and I will report back with results!!!
