torque. Look at the lever. It's 10lbs on your back. By the time it hits your hips it's 50+.

Glad you're feeling better, Roland, and congrats on the squat PR, man. Very nice indeed.

Hey is this you?
Quote:
In response, a poster named Roland asked the following“Most of them tell people to do the intervals after the weights, so what kind of energy to they have left to do any hard intervals? Not much. But, if they said to do 30 minutes of cardio, how slow would they pedal? Pretty damn slow.I’m torn between thinking that they (the trainers) are outright wrong, and thinking that they know you’re right, and just choose to allow the trainee to believe that this is the best way because it drives them to work harder.
I don’t think the average fat loss client works out all that hard with the weights, anyway. They are often newbies to weights and simply don’t know what they are capable of, so they go low. They do steady state cardio at a pretty low intensity, too. Intervals might be the only thing they do with any intensity. They KNOW intervals should be “brutal,” but since they only last 20-30 seconds each, they do them.”

It's kind of cool knowing that there are like 4 people in the entire world named "Roland" and we've got a finger on one of them.

Nice squat PR. Congrats.
The front squats are looking good, too. Keep working on the grip, it'll happen.

Nice PR Roland! 10 pounds is a huge amount more weight when you are maxing out. When my trainer loads up a bar and I start counting the weight he tells me that its just a number and to not think about it. That actually does help me somewhat...

I'm speechless...
Last night's very late workout.
A, Jump Shrug, 3x8, 245
B, Rack Pulls, 3x8, 385
C1, Dips, 15/12/12
C2, Chins, 10/8/6
OMG my hands hurt by chinup time! There at the end, I was gripping by my fingertips, so I stopped shorter than I think I normally could've gone.

Quick and dirty lunchtime workout.
All this stuff overlapped, with the sets and warmup sets. No need for order when you're just getting the stuff in.
Squats, 12x2 (275)
V Grip Seated Rows, 1x5 (150), 4x5 (160)
Cable Chest Press, 5x5 (90)
Front Squats, 3x5 (205)
Squats and front squats are feeling good!

Well, I'm mostly just hanging with the kids today. Allie's got two little gigglers over and Tony's got a friend over for fishing.
Baked some bread at the girl's request. Cornish game hens ready to roast. Artichoke trimmed and ready to steam.
I have a dvd that I'm going to try to watch. Tonight will be the fourth attempt. I keep falling asleep before it gets through the previews.
I've walked several laps around the lake. On kids weekends, I get stir crazy. I usually want workout, but I'm trying to tone it down. I'd rather workout at the gym, tomorrow, than the garage, today. I'm squat happy, so I need the gym.
I'm also cleaning the house. Vacuuming, organizing the kitchen, dusting, cooking, sorting, sweeping, fixing ugly houseplants, etc. Since I got up, I haven't sat down except to tie put my shoes on. I'm even standing up to type this. My feet hurt a little, but they hurt when I sit all day, too.
