That's what I normally do. Like for example when I do dumbell press I'll get 6 or 7 on the first set, 5-6 the second, 5 the third, then 3-5 for the last two. Sometimes I'll pyramid up or down. I get creative and entertain myself.

Do you guys think that is enough volume though? Am I lifting enough?

DJohnson · 01-17-2007, 11:23 PM

15 sets is definitely enough if you're going heavy and hard.

**skelooth** · 01-18-2007, 01:40 AM

Lol, when i was carb cycling the very end of the IMPC on my carb up days my cheat meal was this huge mixing bowl of oats and berries with a ton of Splenda. Man that tasted good.

**skelooth** · 01-18-2007, 09:12 PM

I consider shoulders part of arms. I also do abs with back and arms

**skelooth** · 01-19-2007, 02:39 AM

Loggers note.

Just want to say that it seems even though the scale didn't change, what I've been doing is working. Someone who hadn't seen me in a while said it looked like i slimmed down some, and my clothes are starting to fit 'not as goofy'.

It's kind of funny how being overweight will make you goofy. There is such a huge difference in my balance and grace depending on my bodie's physical appearance.

One issue I'm having at the moment is that I need to drink more water

:rant:

After a few weeks of 40/40/20ish type dieting, I've come to the conclusion that maybe I'm not as insulin sensitive as a I thought and maybe I just was eating too much, the wrong things, and at the wrong times.

Milk and dairy are my enemies. The only dairy I've been eating is the whey protein, and I don't think I want anymore than that in my diet. Even milk feels like it slows me down.... and cheese is just evil to me.

I've been eating bread a couple of times a day in hopefully enough moderation (about 450 cals worth of bread), I'm hoping it won't be detrimental.

I hate bitches. No. I really do. Everytime I think I have one, it slips away.

My life is crazy right now. My schedule is very very full.

I do not have any socks on.

The reason I keep logs is it helps me to keep on track... when i'm not keeping a blog is when my diet is going to hell

i'm tired.

I decided not to smoke weed tonight. I'm a good boy.

I'm going to bed. No, you're not invited.

Dude, you win in the random thought department.
