Hi Borge. I did not mean to imply that your work was based on Gironda’s methods, although upon rereading my post I can certainly see how it could be perceived that way. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

What’s up NWl! Yeah seems like your babbling was dead on! Gironda might have been a little on the extreme side, but his methods obviously produced results. I think he was constantly learning and adapting his methods to better and better get results in the shortest timeframe possible. That...

Hey Simon! What’s the good news fellow Ironman! Yeah I agree some of Gironda’s methods seem strange to say the least. But hey, they did send him the movie stars for some reason. As for the neck press, I used to do a lot of regular flat bench press. But I always said, I can’t feel it in my...

So, been reading up on myoreps and other stuff by Borge Fagerli. Towards the end of my 7 week cycle (4th complete hst cycle) I incorporated myoreps into my workout utilizing them on non-compound exercises for back, bis, tris, calves, and hams. I stopped the cycle at seven weeks for a couple of...

I plan on utilizing both of them O&G. Y’all have about convinced me. I might be a bit hard-headed but I can still recognize good advise!

Ha ha! Yep, that’s it! Cheesy illustrations and all! Haven’t seen those pages in over 40 years! But I do remember! Seems like the lesson books were about the size of a comic book back then. For me it was probably around 1977 or so. We lived on family property and I used a cousins long abandoned...

Ha

Words of wisdom indeed, Simon. I am sincerely attempting to embrace the concept of cluster sets. You sound like you know where I’m coming from with the “never quit” mentality. A lot of us grew up with this due to our peers in the weight room pushing us ever harder. Push, push, dig, dig! Oh man...

Also, on my 13th day of a low carb cut. 11 lbs down so far. Clothes are already looser. No big deal in the weight room so far, but I’m sure it will come. My body hates carbs. But my brain loves them. When my system switches over to ketosis it hums like a Singer sewing machine. But boy getting...
