Happy Tuesday!
Cardio: Jogged 7.43 miles (1152 calories).
Strength: not today
Assessment: Nutrition on track yesterday and planned out for today.0 -
Morning!
Cardio: none
Strength: NROL Hypertrophy 2C - intermediate wt 5 sets, 6 reps
Supersets of Close grip chin ups 5 X 6 and Barbell shoulder press 70lbs 5 X 6.
I exercise at home so I substitute wide grip pull ups for the wide grip lat pull down so - superset of wide grip pull ups 5 X 6 and dumbell check press 28lbs (EA so 56lbs) 5 X 6.
No time for the towel biceps curl or the upper boby russian twist this am
Assessment: Dominoes thin crust for dinner last night, 1/2 a med with lots of meat. So a little bloated (2lbs) today. Should be back to 175lbs after my run tomorrow. Recently adjusted my intake downwards to 2250 cal a day from 2300 - but the weather hasn't been cooperating as far as biking so I'll have to watch to make sure I keep losing. Fall is always my downfall.
cheers!0 -
Hmmm. Usually hypertrophy is between 8-12 reps. I need to check this out since practically every organization in certified fitness doesn't disagree on the rep ranges for strength, hypertrophy and endurance.Morning!

I have been hearing about hypertrophy training and found this on bodybuilder.com. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/hst1.htm Thinking of giving it a go next couple of weeks. It's new info to me, but I think I have the general concept. Interested to hear any feed back or quick tip if there is something I should know regarding it. It seems straightforward though.

I am interested on your feedback too. I ran across it recently and was trying to decide whether to abandon my current regimen in order to try it. Haven't worked up the courage to give it a go yet. See also: http://hypertrophyspecific.com/hst_index.html0 -
@tsimblist Actually, that's the same article.

Yep, that site is "The Home of HST". It has an articles tab with even more info to wade through too.
Here is my most recent distraction: http://suppversity.blogspot.com/2014/10/stretch-shortening-cycle-exercise.html
That article starts with the word "sarcopenia" which is my main fitness motivation.0 -
There's lots of approaches, but from my experience with training myself and clients (I started out at 126lbs at 19 at about 5'6"), I've seen the better results from progressive overload with high volume (about 16 sets per body part). That translates to about 4 exercises comprised of 4 sets with rep range from 6-12 reps.BetterKimmer wrote: »I have been hearing about hypertrophy training and found this on bodybuilder.com. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/hst1.htm Thinking of giving it a go next couple of weeks.

There are deload weeks and even weeks of supersets and high reps, but the main stay
will be around 16 sets per body part with medium rep ranges.

Happy Thursday! I was still tired this morning when it was time to go to the gym, so I slept in. When I finally did get up, I was greeted with a red light on my HRV sample ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19811888/ithleteHRV20141023.png ). So my rest day decision was confirmed.

Happy Monday!
Ran a half marathon on Saturday morning. Hadn't really trained for it as my longest run was 8 miles two weeks ago.

Morning all - welcome to the new week.
Sat
Cardio: none
Strength: NROL Hypertrophy 2A - 3sets of 12 medium weight. So Superset: Reverse grip barbell row 100lbs 3 X 12 - no cage or rack so no bench press at home 3 X 25 push ups instead. Superset: Reverse incline two hand DB row 38lbs 3 X 12 and incline db press 38lbs 3 X 12. No dip bar so overhead bb press 35lbs - 12, 12, 8 - last one to failure at 8.
Today
Cardio: None
Strength: NROL Hyperttrophy 2B - 2 sets of 25 light weight. So Deadlift 70lbs 2 X 25 w/ 30 sec rest. Superset: Dynamic lunge 40lbs 2 X 25 and step up 13lbs 2 X 25 - 30 sec rest. Reverse incline crunch 3 X 12 60 sec rest.
Assessment: Why is the light weight more reps harder to complete than the heavy (relative) weight low reps? All of the above left me gasping for breath. However, came out of the weekend the same weight as I went in - always a plus! No downward movement on the scale since Oct 2 - which I guess is ok, still feel great - measurement time is this weekend so we'll see what we see.
Have a wonderful day all. 0 -

Agreed - I'm using TDEE less 20% (from the weightloss excell spreadsheet that is on mfp somewhere) - but I think need to adjust my exercise now that the weather is crappy and I'm doing less outdoors. I will do that this weekend as I have to roll over to a new month.
