    Excersises and Rest Times

    My standard rep range is 5 for core and 8-10 for accessory. I usually wait only until my two training partners complete their sets but i would say it is about 2-3 minutes for core. Last night we did a three way circle( hold the puns) where i did a set of curls and handed the bar to my buddy, he...

    Weighted Dips

    Hold a db between your legs, this is easy until you start to add some serious weight. Then it is time to get a belt and chain.

    Have to lay off for awhile

    Man I know the feeling, I just turned 40 and I cant push it like I used to. Saturn is right, Take the time to heal 100% or a few months can turn into 6+ months or longer. A torn muscle/pinched nerve or blown disk are all possible if you push thru your injury and ignore your bodys signal to cool it.

    Actually Squats absolutely kill me. Had a torn menescus years ago and it may be arthritic by now. All I know is its like a spike going thru my knees when I squat, with or without weight. Funny thing I can do deads with no problem but no squats at all. So it is all extensions and leg curls ...
