So, if I were to change up the rep #'s from week to week it'd workout? Week 1 x12, week 2x8, week 3 x10, week 4 x5 (just examples).

I'd entertain that. Just make sure for those workouts you repeat for like reps, make sure you lift more and make sure to stay out of the 90th percentil as I counsel..

So what do you mean by 90%? As in don't fail, or stay away from weight that goes into 90+ of your max?

90% of your 1RM.

Your CNS will be coming off of a big taxing. So your mind a body will appreciate the break..

That's what I thought, but the way you said to stay out of it made me think that I had a misunderstanding.

I'm wanting to stay above 8 reps (preferably 10-15), so I'm not even wanting to touch 5, let alone 1-3 reps. Thanks for clarifying though.

My pleasure. Roll on into Cruise..

Would like to dabble with a couple more GLP workouts. I'll back out if I feel it's not worth it.

OK you have my blessing

Will be skipping out on today's workout and will see how many days after that. We have a wood stove here for heat, and needless to say it was boiling in my room 2 nights ago and I couldn't fall asleep. I opened up my window and fell asleep with it open. The cold air made my nose run all night and yesterday my throat started hurting. Luckily enough I started taking antibiotics yesterday before the symptoms came full bloom. Just checked out my throat and it's looking pretty gnarly -- more than likely strep throat. I personally feel fine and full of energy, just my throat is sore and my nose is running a bit.

If the cold is above your chest, hit it hard.

If not, rest. Old (but very good) advice...

Yea, I would have gone to the gym anyway typically, but as much as I'd like to go there was potential for me still being contagious. Respect I suppose.

A rare quality indeed. Doesn't surprise me

Yea, it's kind of a shame though. I was pretty carbed up and ready to hit the gym (2 PPnJ sandwiches and a HUGE plate of spaghetti with tons of hamburger in it for last 2 meals). Oh well, will go in on Wed and hit it hard.

Just figured I'd toss an update in here.


Still sick. On top of the stuffy head and strep throat the virus/cold has moved down into the lungs where I'm coughing pretty hard. I'm hoping I feeling better by Friday and I'm wanting to end feast the week after next.
