Notes - Elbow is really hurting tonight. Wasn't feeling great so just got some reps in and called it a night. Just two more weeks and then a long deload (vacation in Vegas). Will ice it some more tonight and some more ibuprofen. Getting old(er) sucks.
Paul, if your looking for a gym in Vegas, you might consider Average Broz Gymnasium. John Broz (the owner) is training Pat Mendes ...possibly the strongest teenager alive (see link below).

As I understand it, John follows an interesting training philosophy. You essentially follow these steps...
1. Get empty bar and warm-up until you break a sweat.
2. Start adding weight and do the lifts.
3. Start with a few reps and as weight gets heavier do singles.
4. Keep adding weight and doing singles with heavier weight until you fail.
5. Whatever was the last single you did; multiply it by 90% to give you volume weight (or just drop 15-20kg).
6. Do volume weight 2r*5s.
7. Repeat 7 days a week 365days/year
Here is an article on John and his gym:

Funny, fan those Pat Mendes vids are popping up everywhere right now. Kid is brutally strong.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I could train like that everyday. I'd get ground into dust!
