Agreed. My only question would be - don't you rest between sets? I probably rest an average of 3 minutes between sets unless I'm super-setting or doing lighter exercises, which has been more than...

Everyone has a different way of doing things and I'm sure what I'm seeing is a little bit of both. For me, not only does it help to know if I've set a new PR, but it also gives me a goal for every...

Ryan, or anyone else who has a good understanding of the program -

I'm on the last week of my third macrocycle and have been making consistent improvements with almost every exercise. On my last...

They can remember how much weight and reps for every set for 5-10 different exercises, with maybe 3 or 4 different workouts? I'm no super genius but somehow this seems a little extreme.

I knew this comment was inevitable and I totally get it. I've trained on and off for probably 20+ years but it's only been within the last year when I've gotten on a solid program, got my diet on...

Every time I'm at the gym I am literally the only person there writing down all my numbers to track my workout. I'm sure a few people have apps on their phones, but with the specific workout I'm...

The question was about if the statistics take this into consideration. I assume most of us here know that going solely on BMI can be misleading. And yes being leaner isn't the only indicator of...

These are some of the questions I was wondering myself. I was basically questioning how accurate these statistics are because I don't know if they are figuring bodyfat level into obesity statistics...

Thanks for all the replies, guys. Still wondering your thoughts on the accuracy of the statistics though. So most of you seem to think fit people are more rare and that the numbers we're seeing are...

We've all heard the statistics that something like 40 percent of Americans are either overweight or obese, and I've heard even higher than that. It's probably a nice ego boost for many of us,...

For Day 1 Micro 4 Macro 2 I did 180 on Flat Bench for 1, 1 and I think like 5 or 6. My C1RM would have dropped from 220 to 205. I'm going to use 215 on the next Macro.

Today I hit 175 on Squats...

Day 4 Micro 3 Macro 2
Lift

Hit 315 for 3,3 and 12 on Rack Pulls. New C1RM = 440. Used straps and belt on last set. I may start using them on all my working sets, at least on the 3rd and 4th...

Day 3 Micro 3 Macro 2 cont.

Hit 110 for 3, 3, and 9 on OHP. C1RM holds at 145. Leveled up on every other exercise. I can't believe the strength gains still continue like this after 8 months. ...

Day 3 Micro 3 Macro 2
Pull

Hit 190 for 3, 3 and 11 bringing my C1RM to 260. Currently waiting for one guy to finish using the power rack for one arm presses with a Tbar so I can do my OHP 😐

Just out of curiosity have you tried the Matador diet? After a little research that's what I started doing. You basically lose about 5 lbs of fat per month but it's structured to alternate 2 week...

D1 MI3 MI2 - Press

Hit 160 on Flat Bench for 3, 3 and 11, bringing my C1RM up to 220. Killed it on my other exercises, as well.

So I've been kind of disappointed because I've been lifting...

D3 MI2 MA2 - Lift
Hit 275 for 6, 6 and 17 on Rack Pulls bringing C1RM to 430

D2 Mi2 Ma2 - Pull
Hit 165 on Lat Pull-down for 6, 6 and 16
Hit 95 on OHP for 6, 6 and 16 as well. Brings C1RM to 250 on pull-down and 145 on OHP. And the connection sucked so I couldn't update in...

I'm just gonna do this to try to get caught up. So on Friday I did Day 2 Micro #2 Macro #2, Squats. I hit all my reps and did 18 on my lest set bringing my C1RM (calculated 1RM) to 215. Not bad...

Day 2 Micro #1 of Macro #2 (man, there's gotta be a better way of numbering these)

Squat

Since it's been a few days I don't really remember what I did lol. I know I hit 20 reps on my working...
