OK...in doing SLDLs and Shrugs I am starting to get to some weight where I probably should be using one of these. I know Rage suggests straps in the vids.
I'd like to get thoughts...one better than another? Suggest different accessory based on exercise?
Going to order a set, just wondering which would be best, or if I should just dive in and get both?
Thanks

OK...got a supp question here.
I see on the PUMP, it says to take daily since it has the daily dose of creatine.
To make the pump stretch longer, would it be OK to take it on workout days, and use a micronized creatine powder for a 5g dose on off days?
(I have the BB.com Micronized Creatine on hand already.)
With PUMP in a 30 pack, and the rest in 44s, it could help the budget by stretching the PUMP to 11 weeks(taken 4 times a week on lifting days) instead of 4 weeks if taken every day.
Thanks for the suggestions.Harvey

Hey all...starting the diet...wanted to get some ideas...
Tom, Garrick, BB, Deadman, etc...what do you all do to liven up the meals?
Let me share one of mine, and maybe you guys will say I'm crazy...lol...I like to cook, and have been experimenting a little.
I take a serving of pre-cooked chicken breast(I've been cooking these on a grill), cut it up into small chunks, add it to the brown rice and heat it up. Stir in about 1 Tablespoon of Peanut Butter, about a teaspoon of honey, and a couple dashes of Cayenne pepper. Mix it all up and its really close to a dish I have had called "Thai Peanut Chicken", but usually served with noodles.
Also...the pre-packaged Brown Rice from the company that makes the 60 second rice(trying to avoid direct names)...not a good idea, or OK? Easy to keep this at work...but if it goes overboard on salt or something that would negatively affect the meal plan, I'll do the rice myself.
Looking forward to your input/ideas...so thanks to all in advance!Harvey

That sounds really good especially if you're on a bulk. For me, bulk or cut, I do like to stick with low to mid GI foods such as oats, yams and brown rice. Gotta watch that instant brown rice as that tends to up the GI. You want carbs that will burn for a while. I prefer to use non caloric methods to liven up my meals such as dry seasonings. Salt, pepper, McCormicks or Mrs. Dash for example. I don't worry too much about the sodium unless I'm inside a week of getting up on stage. Hope this helps a little brother.

OK...ready to start the diet...need to get some numbers I should shoot for Protein, Carbs, etc.
I have seen some folks post saying that Tom or one of the other guys has worked up their numbers.
How do I go about asking for that? PM or post in a certain thread? And what info do you need?
Is it possible to get an example menu using my numbers, kinda like on the main HRT page? That way I can get an idea of what portion sizes I should be shooting for so I know what to measure for meats/rice/yams/# of eggs/etc.?
Thanks!Harvey

Awesome, thanks Rage!
Got any tips for re-heating brown rice I cook at home? Will be portioning it out and have containers to warm up at work...just wondering if you add a small bit of water as you reheat or any other tips/tricks for reheating?
I figure I will put my sweet potatoes in the microwave at work to bake as needed, or do you recommend baking in conventional oven? I wasn't sure if there was a real difference.
Thanks again!Harvey

Good to hear you're back after it brother. Keep us posted on your progress.
I'm here to help brother. Looks like Dead has you hooked up on re-heating the rice. I just stab the yam about 10 times and nuke it...about 3 1/2 minutes per 1/2 pound or so for my microwave.Lets get to work

Short answer...Yes!
You will see strength gains, just remember this is not a power routine...but more balanced...size and strength...so the gain in strength will be slower due to the balanced gain. As the muscle rebuilds, it will be stronger. The weights you use will not be as heavy as you would for brute power...like Rage says, (I'm combining several quotes here)"Leave your ego at the door. This isn't about quantity, it's about quality...and exhausting the muscles in each exercise." I have learned this first hand.
Rage, Garrick, Deadman, etc...please correct me if I am misrepresenting anything here...I'm still the new-kid-in-the-yard.Harvey

Hi Guys!
I just started week 3 of the solo program and absolutely love it. I am amazed at the burn during the workouts and the soreness the following day that comes from such low weights and relatively small number of sets & reps. Its awesome!
I have a question about picking the right weight. For example on day 2 on the bench presses. I use a smith machine at my gym and the first time around I started with 100lbs worth of plates on the decline. That wiped me out and I was only able to do 80lbs on the flat bench. That wiped me out even more and by the time I got to the incline, I only had 60lbs of plates on the bar.
The second week, I tried to average out the weight and did 80lbs on all 3 chest exercises. Obviously, the decline bench press was much easier and then the sets got harder as I went along.
Which approach is the correct one? Chose the weight individually for each exercise even if that lowers the weight you can do for the following exercises or average out the weight?
Thanks!

Good question brother. Pace yourself by using that 80 lbs so that you can make it through the entire chest session. Then, you're body will tell you when it's time to kick it up a notch. Another alternative is to throw in some incline flyes in place of the press to change things up a bit. Keep us posted brother.

Either way is good, I personally change the weights but I do it backwards to what you are doing, I start with the inclines because I know it is my weakest while I am at my strongest, then standard or mid then decline. Lately for me it has been all about shaping and complete muscle fatigue so I have been doing cable crossovers low to high, mid then high to low to hit my whole chest. The weights increase by about 10 or so pounds between each and I get a damn good chest workout. Figure out where you are getting the best breakdown and go with that. Don't be afraid to experiment brother, that is one of the great things about Rage's program.
