pammiejoe6 · 08-29-2007, 07:37 PM

where IS raspy??

RaSP · 08-31-2007, 06:52 PM

OK. I'm back now. I'll start logging again next week and get going on another 5x5 this fall. My numbers suck now. I took a week off and, unlike so many, that always makes my numbers drop.

Heh. that's probably why I haven't ben posting 'em. LOL

I'll try to catch up on everyone's threads. Have a great weekend!

Yay RasPy is back!

Great to have you back here posting!

I know it sucks to lose strength...After my lil vacation I went back to the gym and my bench #'s went down...grrrr...but, I'm back at it again and I'm definetly looking to make some new PB's!

Gonna be fun.

~D~

**A.FreeRadical** · 09-01-2007, 02:13 AM

You probably gained mass when you took off. (Rest is the factor that no one talks about.) Just do you program and the numbers will come back quickly.

Good to see you back into it bro!

Yeah. I was only off a week, but it always kills me. I'm already a little ahead of where I was. I' going to stay with the current split for a few more weeks and then go to my 5x5. I'll plan on about 7-8 weeks of it so basically Oct and Nov.

*R*

RaSP · 01-03-2008, 10:51 PM

LOL. Didn't get started on the 5x5. Traveling too much to manage that. Bought a house, too. 40% off asking so even in a down market I feel OK about it.

Been sick for the last couple of weeks, so I got an unplanned rest. Now I'll do the 5-way split for a couple of weeks then do my 5x5 and see how it goes.

Computer situation is finally settled, so I should really be able to stay on more. Looks like Game Day has been gone longer than me, and now Pamster is gone and Rad is lonely.

Looks like our section has been kinda slow. Hopefully we'll get posting. Looks like a few new faces, too. Can't wait to meet the new guys.

Congrats on the house! This is a good time to buy.

Happy New Year!

RaSP · 01-08-2008, 07:15 PM

I'm pretty happy about it. Even if the market slides some more we bought low enough we should be OK. That, and I'm not planning on selling anytime soon.

Finally back in the swing of things after my 2 week sick lay off. Did a good, if not somewhat wussy shoulder and tri w/o yesterday, and was going to do back today but shoveled snow for almost 2 hours instead. Got a different kinda back day. lol.

I'll do deadz tomorrow, since it was supposd to be a cardio day. I sure wish I was like all of you who take a week off and come back stronger. I always suck for a couple of weeks after a rest week (or 2).

I'm not logging yet, but I'll start when I pick up my annual 5x5 in a few weeks.

*R*

**Crader** · 01-17-2008, 01:55 AM

A new house, thats exciting!! Glad you are feeling better

RaSP · 02-22-2008, 07:56 PM

OK time to finally start the 5x5. While my numbers aren't what they were a year ago, I'm at a point where I think I'll get some good gains from starting a 9 week 5x5. It's always hard to stop these at 9 weeks as the gains are so nice, but I figure I'll run this until May and then do a cut for summer (which doesn't really start until July up here). So for comparison to later, current 1RMs are:

A2G Squat 310
Bench 245
BB Rowz 210
Deadz 455
Inc Bench 205

We'll see how this shapes up.

yay WTG raspy!

5x5 is a bitch, but worth it.

Good Luck

RaSP · 03-18-2008, 12:24 AM

Well I came down with a crazy bronchitis thing that I'm just now getting over. Man I haven't ever been this sick. Getting better finally so I can start that 5x5. Figure I'll get back in the swing this week and start the 5x5 mon (only 3 weeks later than I meant to. Man I don't know how people can not workout. This forced lay off has been killing me.

*R*

pammiejoe6 · 03-29-2008, 08:11 PM

glad youre feeling better raspy!

RaSP · 04-11-2008, 01:15 PM

Thanks. I'm now just wrapping up week two of the 5x5. Only 7 more to go. Should start getting a little more challenging next week. Even so, it still kicks my a$$. Doesn't seem as though it would be as intense as it is. Last time I ran it for like 12 weeks. Made great gains, but then lost too much in the off time after. I'm stopping shorter this time and not scaling back as much when I do stop. Gots to keep the gains!!

*R*

**Crader** · 04-11-2008, 01:46 PM

Good luck, glad you are felling better!
