Re: Thremp - Hot Sizzle Summer Log
That EDT article/program looks neat. Have you ever tried one before? I bet the intensity will be through the roof. I am looking forward to trying it very soon.

Re: Thremp - Hot Sizzle Summer Log
1C5,
No, I have not. I am trying to start slow and then ramp it up as time goes by. Matt, Cool. Keep me posted on what you turn up. All, I did my first EDT set and am confused how to exactly set it up or exert myself. I am sure pacing yourself is the goal to success and not dying/overtraining on this gibber jabber. I took it nice and easy this first day. A1: Pull ups - I did some minor kipping and cut down on ROM to hit the reps I needed. Started to fail on the sets of 5 toward the end. A2: Skullcrushers - This was an exercise that I usually never do since I don't do much tricep isolation work and when I did before I would use other exercises. Finally got used to it and didn't drop the bar. The bar for this weighs 15lbs? I had a couple 10s on each side, and this was easier than the Chins. B1: Seated Row - Did these on the cable. 75 lbs. B2: Reverse Tricep Pressdown - Using like 30lbs on a cable machine. Notes: First 20 min set I got in 66 reps and made the mistake of putting my stations like 15 yards apart, which ends up soaking up a ton of time when you are walking an additional 300 or so yards needlessly. The second set I put the loading way too low and ended up with a 100 reps not even breathing hard. Will have to up weights across the board. I am shooting for a rep range of 60-70, so slightly less than Charles recommends while I am trying to get used to this program.

thremp, I weighed one of those EZ-curl bars a couple years ago and it was 20lbs. Pretty sure that is the standard weight. [/ QUOTE ] Hot. Thanks. This def improves my massive ego jocking. All, I was doing sets of 5 and then tapering at the end when I had to grind it out. Will likely continue to do this.

Re: Thremp - Hot Sizzle Summer Log
Some notes before I go into my log:
1) When I get the EZ Curl bar into place to do skullcrushers, I have to get up and lay down. Now this may not seem like it is very hefty, but doing this with 40 lbs on your chest and >10 times makes for a pretty exciting ab workout. When you couple this with the Swiss Ball crap I had to do today, you can understand why I'm sitting here with an ice pack on my stomach. 2) Given the fact that I have not lifted in two months and the absurd high volume that this program requires, there is an absurd amount of soreness that has happened and is expected to happen. I'll likely spend my time tomorrow recovering from possible partying tonight, feeling like death, and doing feeder workouts and icing and stretching in general. 3)Despite hiking being rather unballer, it has made a huge difference on the muscular endurance of my lower body. I thought a threw a challenging weight on for my 2nd session and I just crushed it. 4) I am not doing exactly the reps Staley recommends. I'm doing 60-70, which is his recommendation for 15 minute periods in a 20 minute period. July 3 - A1 - Hyperextension - BW A2 - Swiss Ball Crunches - BW Notes: 120 reps. Way more than I wanted to get. B1 - Leg Extensions - 100 - 11500 total B2 - Leg Curls - 70 - 8050 total Notes: 115 reps. Really stunned as I thought this would be way closer to failure for hamstrings. Oh well looks like weight goes up next time as well.

Re: Thremp - Hot Sizzle Summer Log
1C5,
Goto T-nation and search for EDT. There is a wealth of information. Notes: I did the frat boy fantasy workout today. It sucked. I saw someone doing one arm clean and jerks and was deeply jealous. Whatever, I'm gonna be HOOGE. I didn't weigh myself either. When I got back here on Monday I was 168, and somewhat soft. I see a noticeable difference already. I'm sure a significant diet change and resuming lifting will have a substantial recomp effect in the first couple weeks. Workout July 5 A1: Machine Bench - 100 A2: Low Cable Curl - 60 Reps: 95 B1: Incline Machine Bench - 75 B2: Preacher Hammer Curl - 20s Reps: 81 Notes: Machines are terrible. It was harder than I thought. Stations for todays workout were far apart and it takes a significant amount of walking. I had some problems with the bench in the first set and then the Hammer Curls in the 2nd. As I am significantly above the rep range I want to be hitting I will increase weight next week on like the Cable Curls and Incline Bench as they were the easier of the two lifts. Weirdness. Diet has been ~2500 calories each day which is around my basal and activity level. I'm trying to maintain a Zone diet and feed myself 6-8 times a day. This is significantly harder than it seems as it takes a ton of my time up, but all is well. I will manage.
