Not doing any BB programs, wanted to try the new test workout #1 for p90x one on one, but I suppose that can wait till later.TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-75845161010373775332010-07-11T16:41:05.216-06:002010-07-11T16:41:05.216-06:00Hassan,

Essentially to test it against what I've been doing lately (last more than a decade) which is all circuit work. Circuit work is more time efficient and, given your goals, I think it would make sense to just use the rep scheme of the WFH in your workouts (or BB workouts). If you want to try body part isolation it's probably ok too, especially given you haven't done it below most likely. In fact, the more I think about it the more I think doing it my way would be best just because it will be new.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-67258823248132435772010-07-11T11:00:49.106-06:002010-07-11T11:00:49.106-06:00One last question before starting WFH tomorrow, do...One last question before starting WFH tomorrow, do you do these exercises in a circuit format like shoulders, tricep, bicep repeat or do you train shoulders first, tricep second and bicep third?<br /><br />Thanks.TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-59979759763775101142010-07-10T09:08:04.100-06:002010-07-10T09:08:04.100-06:00Good catch.

Good to see someone paying attention. <br /><br />There's a reason for this in a climbing specific plan in that climbers ant delts tend to be weak in comparison and this isn't hard enough lat training to work for back days. Doing 30 reps with a band creates a lot of ant delt stress and the lat/delt relation is important in climbing and a specific weakness in climbers who only climb. This, however, will change as the reps drop as the lats are forced to take on a higher percentage of a resistance.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-35544704144802415222010-07-10T08:58:20.952-06:002010-07-10T08:58:20.952-06:00The pull-downs you describe would primarily use yo...The pull-downs you describe would primarily use your lats.

Too bad this wasn't going on a few months back when climbing was still a no no. <br /><br />I'm tempted to try this out with you, but I'm also sort of psyched on projecting Hardboiled, and I've been getting some rad gains doing the traditional Shed thing, so this might not be a good idea. I'm wondering if doing 1 block a week would reap any benefits - maybe if I tweaked the workouts to be more sport specific (including bar work and the campus board for example).<br /><br />Whatever the case, I feel your pain on the "stuck inside" front. I only muster about 1-2 days a week of hauling my ass more than a hundred yards from the car.Micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661783136827269532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-5410419252738397112010-06-22T15:53:55.885-06:002010-06-22T15:53:55.885-06:00Tony basically is a power athlete or at least fast...Tony basically is a power athlete or at least fast twitch muscle fibered. His cardio routines with all honesty and no offense to tony aren't too intense, but his resistance ones are pretty awesome.

It's way more than you really need, actually, but this is supposed to be painful.<br /><br />2 (to maybe 3) hangboard workouts per week is about max anyone can handle if they are to failure and intense. And in most sitautions that is the only reason to do them. <br /><br />I'm climbing a little as well, but not hard. More for recovery. It's a LOT of finger training. Climbing is far less intense since a board forces all of the stress onto the hands while actual climbing distributes it.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-54713169965522576852010-06-22T14:36:28.201-06:002010-06-22T14:36:28.201-06:00Why not do more sets for tris since it's a big...Why not do more sets for tris since it's a bigger muscle group than Biceps?<br />Fingerboard twice a week isn't a lot?<br /><br />Thanks.TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.com
