It doesn’t matter how you train in terms of sets, reps, or weight, notice I didn’t mention form. Form is the only thing you should worry about in the gym.
No matter how you train, in the end you will have eaten the whole pie, you would have gotten the job done, you would have gotten that pump and trashed that muscle, so it will grow back bigger and stronger, by feeding it would tons of good clean carbs and proteins every three hours and getting a good night’s sleep.
What that being said, last night we played with the number 6!
And it went something like this…
T-Bar rolls, we started with one plate each side (we loaded the rear side ones instead of the front one) did it for 6 reps, then kept adding one 45 plate, doing 6 reps, until we couldn’t go any heaver, we ended with 6 plates each side, totaling 6 sets
Next was seated free weight lat pulls, we started with 3 plates a side, adding a quarter, then a 45 plate, then a quarter, then a 45 plate, ending at 5 plates each side for 6 reps. Now I starting to feel like I can fly!
Pull downs behind the neck climbing up the ladder or should I say down the ladder, doing sets of 6, ending at 5 set
Finishing back off doing dumbbell pullovers, starting at 80’s for 6, then 90’s, then 100’s for 2 sets. Just when you think you can’t get any more blood into your lats, along comes pullovers! We do these on chest day too, but never the same week
Shoulders started with behind the necks presses on the Smith machine, staying with the number 6, started with quarters increasing by tens , then quarters, then tens, ending at 3 quarter each side, 5 sets total.
Okay here is were is gets interesting, seeing that no one is at the dumbbell section (got to love Friday nights at the gym)
We started at the 35’s with side laterals for (you guessed it) 6 then immediately moving down to the next lighter dumbbell, so it went something like this, 35,30,25,22.5,20,17.5,15,10,5. What a incredible pump, but the only problem we had was I started and went like a race horse down the dumbbell line, then went John, and he waiting for me to get a few dumbbells ahead, so he’s wouldn’t have to wait for me and lose that “no rest” effect that burns your shoulders. But not Alex, nope he likes to travel his own path even after you explain how to do it. So Alex starts right after John, and he continually had to wait for john to finish. Basically he wasn’t working as hard as we were. So we decides to do this 3 times, so we all got the chance to start… yes I am paying for it today, but It was worth it and I love it!
Next was Bend over dumbbell laterals… should I? … The dumbbell area is still clear... but after the last movement, I can’t feel my shoulders… no let’s just do it normal, 35’s for 6, then 40’s for 6, then 45’s then WTF why not its the last set… 35,30,25,22.5,20,17.5,15,10 for 6 …DONE!
No not yet… Barbell shrugs, starting with one 45 plate for 6 and yes we climbed up to 5 plates each side doing sets of 6 for 6
Talk about “Sickness for Thickness, Intensity for immensity”
Awesome workout, way to use that number 6!
Speaking of the number 6 and pie, John aka Animal had 6 slices of pie on thanksgiving! I just had to throw that out there!
Time for a protein drink
