This is the link you want:
http://steve-ed...Ryan,<br /><br />This is the link you want:<br /><br />http://steve-edwards.blogspot.com/search/label/Workout%20from%20Hell<br /><br />which will give you the WFH posts only. Might take you 20 minutes to read through them all but you'll then have an understanding about how to customize it for your own goals. <br /><br />I occasionally post my diet for articles. There are some in the archives (check steveedwardsonline) but I experiment with a lot of diets so it's always changing. <br /><br />Not sure about Tony's being posted anywhere. He is a very fastideous eater and is, currently, trying an all vegan diet and loving it. He has a chef, which helps. Though it must be tricky for him since he's on the road a ton.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-27278280851982432382010-08-23T09:34:20.707-06:002010-08-23T09:34:20.707-06:00Insane,

If you are going to play with PAP stuff then I think push and pull make more sense than isolated body parts.<br /><br />Also, an observation over the weekend is that you'll want this program to end far ahead of your challenge since volume part of it. You'll body will respond to volume work quickly but you'll still need some time to build your ability to endurance (as in volume, not muscular). Mine, for example, is awful right now. But that is how periodization is supposed to work.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-76798695723331411202010-08-23T00:24:48.523-06:002010-08-23T00:24:48.523-06:00Hey Steve, you're my hero :D haha I have a few...Hey Steve, you're my hero :D haha I have a few questions just to clarify because I just recently started following your blog and with my schedule it will take me ages to catch up...<br />do you think you can give me the run down of what you've done the whole time during your WFH? A summary of the different phases....I'm also confused with "strength" training...I was under the impression that you can add load (resistance), add reps (volume), or add speed to the movement....for some of your explanations for hypertrophy, I think I've confused myself....Also, would it be too much to apply some of these principles to the p90x workouts? For example...I do 30 reps of each exercise with light weight during shoulders and arms....holy christmas was that good :D...only took about an hour and twenty minutes with the bonus round and stretching...<br /><br />Next question...is there anywhere where we can get a sample of your diet or Tony Horton's?<br /><br />LAST question...I'm looking to be certified as a personal trainer...any suggestions on who to get certified with?<br /><br />I really appreciate it steve...haha I wish I could sit and pick your brain all dayRyan Baltunisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-23294248488597909972010-08-21T16:54:35.988-06:002010-08-21T16:54:35.988-06:00Just to make sure, I should start the push days (C...Just to make sure, I should start the push days (C.S.T) and pull days (B.B) on week 3 right?

I'm still curious to see how Phase 4 will turn out since it's a combination of all phases. Phase 3 is going to be pretty hard for me due to school starting and having to wake up at 3:30 am to train.TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-6541489725380852382010-08-20T09:10:31.610-06:002010-08-20T09:10:31.610-06:00If you want, as you said, to create some more hype...If you want, as you said, to create some more hypertrophy first you could try what I did and do a couple of weeks (I did 10 workouts) of 5 reps following the same schedule and doing each rep for 10 seconds, five in each direction. This was great for hypertrophy. <br /><br />For power training I'm sure you can handle more volume than me as you're so much younger. I'm still tinkering with what will work the best for me, volume-wise, which is particularly difficult to assess using the PAP principles (adding explosive sets to heavy resistance sets). If I had more time I might have waited a week to implement this but I want to peak for October (best month for climbing) so I started right away.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-30939210485496651092010-08-20T06:32:52.693-06:002010-08-20T06:32:52.693-06:00I might not decrease my sets for the workout. My b...I might not decrease my sets for the workout. My body has reacted fantastically to high volume training, Even with 15 reps my strength levels increased and I was pressing 25s for chest movements. I still can't do the 1 rep max for strength thing (that you are planning at the start of a routine), what do you suggest I do?<br /><br />I skipped hangboarding for about a week so that my body could recuperate a bit, probably will start next week which is the start of Phase 3 for me.TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.com
