Usually for shoulders and arms it's shoulders first, then tris and then bis, but yeah I'll start taking longer breaks.<br />Out of curiosity, for phase 3, since it's 5 reps and you train the muscles twice a week with 48 hour rest, how is that working power and strength? Don't muscles need to be fully rested before hitting them again to recruit as many muscle fibers as possible?TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-3209989174195492592010-07-15T17:21:08.515-06:002010-07-15T17:21:08.515-06:00Cool Daniel,

It may end up being of some use to the community.<br /><br />Hassan,<br /><br />It occured to me during my workout today that you have probably never worked one body part at a time because you've been doing our workouts. It's different and you must rest between sets or you'll never finish the workout to its maximum. Back in the one-body-part-til-failure days the timing of your rest was everything; shorter for more endurance and longer for strenght. Pure power workouts have super short sets with ridiculously long rests (to fully recovery).Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-30845566208296859732010-07-15T16:10:09.479-06:002010-07-15T16:10:09.479-06:00Hey Steve,
Thanks for the great posts recently. ...Hey Steve,<br /><br />Thanks for the great posts recently. I am a climber and for the past year I have been doing a loosely formatted cyclical training pattern. Because of the heat and loss of psyche to climb I recently revisited the WFH..and your posts have been great to read! I just started and am going to be keeping a log here: http://wfhlog.tumblr.com/Danielhttp://wfhlog.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-76743986420634097932010-07-15T09:31:28.377-06:002010-07-15T09:31:28.377-06:00Insane,

Muscles are stimulated, especially anything that is underdeveloped. You'll gain more mass in your next block when the time of each set is cut in half, but never the kind of mass that the kick sand in your face kind of guy is going to want. The third block sets are too short for much hypertrophy to occur but a slight amount will. As you will see, I diet a lot in the third block. Then we're going to add a forth block that's not in the original in order to integrate the next-found strength into "smart" sport specific muscle.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-31585729487328720442010-07-15T09:20:52.289-06:002010-07-15T09:20:52.289-06:00Hey Lars,

Training can always be altered to accomodate your real life. The Day 1 (hangboard) days should be much longer than day 2. If you give me an idea of your goals, strengths, and weaknesses I could make some recommendations.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-61256973499728830802010-07-15T05:24:35.527-06:002010-07-15T05:24:35.527-06:00Hi, in an earlier post I asked how long the 1st an...Hi, in an earlier post I asked how long the 1st and 2nd phase took you in the gym. After your answer I tried it out and was just around 1hr 40. My question is due to my job and family situation it will be very hard to spend that time in the Gym.. so I was wondering if you know of a way to "Cut down" the workout to around 1hr or is there just no way around that?<br /><br />/LarsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-3230586741107173192010-07-14T21:24:38.667-06:002010-07-14T21:24:38.667-06:00For some reason, slowly but still I am gaining mas...For some reason, slowly but still I am gaining mass either way. Maybe it's the puberty thing, but who knows. Doesn't more muscle mean more strength capacity which indirectly is good for climbing? or does that kind of strength differ?TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.com
