MR.M '10 - Bigger Than The Average Bear

yeh i downloaded the book...
$50 for that thoough??!! its only 22 pages long.. cant believe he charges that much..
ive just been following WS4SB this wk, enjoyin it so far.. added barbell complexes in as well..

the BLAB routine looks decent, just too much for me to really keep track of.. its very similar to WS4SB..

gonna be doing some barbell complexes again today. will update in a bit, but im thinkin

SLDL
sumo deadlift high pulls
squat shoulder press
good mornings
lunges

tryin to keep one of the complexes each week, usually the one at the weekend, more leg oriented, and the other 1 or 2 a decent split between leg and upper stuff..
think i may go heavier today too, 30k. 5 sets, descending reps starting with 10, descending by 2 each set.10, 8, 6, 4, 2

Seated DB cleans are an old fave of mine. Used to hit my rear delts and blow my traps up like nothing else.
 
You seem to be having fun with it all ATM buddy

dude..
yeh i definately enjoyed the seated DB cleans.. felt it so much in my traps and rear delts.. lookin forward to any progress made on them.. blowin up the traps and delts is somethin im lookin to do..

yeh these complexes have kinda stoked the fire again, got me a bit mroe motivated.. allowing me to eat loads more but not worry bout it cos im sweatin my t1ts off at the end of them!! kinda come to the conclusion that i'll never be 100% happy with any routine i do, even if making progress.. and until i know exactly what i want from training, whjether its size or strength focused, im just gonna go with my instincts and one day, just one day, i'll be content and consistent with a routine for a good duration.. i know its not the most constrcutive thing to do, chop and change, but i figure, as long as im lifting heavy, and lifting good compound movements, then i should be fine!!

Well it's certainly not causing obvious harm to either size or strength to be fair. I stuck with a 5x5 hybrid thing for ages, got nothing out of it LOL but the session where great fun at least you are getting something out of your sessions!

yeh, i need enjoyment out of it to be honest, as as it stands, there's no end goal, i want somethin from it! progress is all well and good but if im bored doin the same old same old, then i lose interest in that routine etc.. as its known, im a fan of my random exercises now and again so they will always keep a place in there somewhere :-)

How long does that little circuit take to complete then?

I can't believe you do that AFTER doing your cardio, I'd be running on empty

haha... well, we go to the gym to do cardio, with the intention of doin the complexes first, but once again it was heavin so no room to do them.. so did the cardio then came back to mine and did them in my garage..
each round only takes like 60 seconds.. but as ur flyin thru each movement, really takes its toll..
each complex routine will be different tho..
thursday i'll be doing it with a DB, and probably do somehtin like

DB swings
DB snatch (each arm)
single arm push press (each arm)
side lunges (DB on lunging side shoulder)
...and a couple more probably..

may do somethin like 10, 8, 6, 4, 2
we'll see

Create the space, start intimidating people, there must be people you can growl at who'll run off somewhere else...

What's your split then ATM regarding the Complexes and 'conventional' days etc

i used to love randy coutures barbell complex

Wasn't that dubbed "the circuit of death" or something.

Mr.M, add some DB thrusters in there too, I think you'll like them (can't get a decent vid at work but if you search you can find a few)
