LOL do you know how [censored] annoying it is to have the same first name and last initial as you? Who the [censored] uses their name as their handle anyway? A friend just called me up... "dude, you can only bench 80? wtf?"

I'm kidding, bro. Well, sort of. Nice work on the 89!

How come your routine only has you doin' the same 3 exercises? That must take what, like 20-25 minutes including warm up? It's good to mix things up more to keep making progress.

I'd highly recommend checking out the waterbury workouts... see spreadsheet for details.

[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] ? My workouts take 1.5 hours. How on earth would they be so short? The weights might be light for you but they're heavy for me.

I'm currently doing the Madcow 5x5 routine btw.

So wait, does this say you are doing 25 sets of squats, then 25 sets of rows, then 25 sets of bench press in one workout? I hope I'm misreading or you're mistyping.

no no, that would be insane.

I'm doing 5 sets for each exercise while each set consists of 5 reps.

Oh, okay. Having an x5 after each number is redundant because x5 means five sets.

How does this take 1.5 hours?

Squat:

5 reps (15-20 seconds)
rest (60 seconds)
5 reps (15-20 seconds)
rest (60 seconds)
5 reps (15-20 seconds)
rest (60 seconds)
5 reps (15-20 seconds)
rest (60 seconds)
5 reps (15-20 seconds)
rest (60 seconds)
----------------------
Total = under 7 minutes


etc...

Do you take like 20 minute breaks between your three exercises?

There is no way that doing five sets of five reps of three exercises should take you more than 30 minutes max.

Well 1.5 hours includes a 5 min light bike warm up.

In addition to my warm up sets, I rest about 3-5 min between work sets. These sets are heavy for me.
