Yes I am, but I am always trying to figure out how to progress better :p
 
Just curious, have u ever tried really pumping up the weights, but increasing M time to compensate? When doing bench MS, my M time for the last 7 to 8 reps can be as high as 30 seconds.

Yes I have, just wait a few weeks and that will happen

I have squatted my 6RM Max for 20 reps using an M-Time of about 30 secs, or something like that.

But I wont do that right now since I want the progressive load over time. It will be fun once i get there though!

I must add that i am very proud I am sticking to the plan, in spite of the fact that my spare time is severely cut until 9th June.
I am working in another city and going there by train every day. The train leaves at 6:30 am and arrives back home at 6:30 pm. Will be nice to get more sparetime back when I arrive in my new apartment

This is not working any longer, I cant put on more weights without cheating, I have decided to just train abs non-Max-Stim until I start in a gym who has the equipment I like for ab training.
But on the positive side, What great W/O!

Yeah.

I have come to a pause in the cycle. I moved to a new town today and it will take time fo me to settle there, find a new gym and getting internet (at temporary pc atm). So you guys know what I´m up to if I dont update for a while
 
Hope you find a good gym.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Then the gym closed so no shrugs
 
Once again I am interrupting this cycle.
I feel its too bring to train. Its fun in the beginning but it feels like you are just waiting to get to the heavy weights.
If I had continued, the next week would have been an undulation to lower weights again and I have also been curious to try out Doggcrap method for a few weeks now.
So I stopped Max-Stim and started DC-training.
 
Good luck with the change, Sniggle. Hopefully DC training will be more interesting to you.
 
Thanks. I finally got Internet. Settled down in my new apartment, got my first salary from new job etc...

Have done 6 w/o so far with max-stim. Been gaining weight on purpose. Atm at around 81 kgs (178 pounds) or so, but I have just started.

DC is upper/lower body (sort of), 3 days/week with 1 set, 5 exercises every w/o. But you have 3 different workouts for every muscle group so it takes 6 workouts before you have gone through all of them (2 weeks) but your still training through your whole body in 2 w/o.
Every time I repeat an exercise (2 weeks later) I &quot;must&quot; beat it with higher load or more reps, to make this easier i will make sure I weigh more every 2 weeks.

DC is somewhat HST since it has weight progression and high frequency as some of the basics of the program.
What sets it apart is that it focus heavily on going to failure, 3 times per &quot;set&quot; and therefore using &quot;restpause&quot;.

That was roughly what is going on. I don´t know If I will write my log here of DC-Training. Maybe it could be interesting?

Anyway, the photocompetition I was in 13th may is over and I came in at shared 11th place :p
I am now allowed to post the pictures.
