weight traning (Re: how to eat *enough* on the warrior...

[Guest guest]

,

I'm about 5' 7 1/2 " . I guess this must give me a mechanical advantage for

the squat too, but not the deadlift, which I'm also increasing my weight as

rapidly. The way I'm training seems to be conducive to muscle, since I'm not

only

increasing weight but am clearly adding muscle to my body by looking at it

and feeling it.

I'm following a chart that's called " the power matrix " that's on the bulletin

board at the gym. So if I'm doing 195 on the squat I'll do six sets that

look like this:

8 of 145

5 of 165

3 of 175

1 of 195

1 of 195

1 of 195

5 of 165

I'm trying to train for adding muscle but a priority of making that muscle

the most efficient muscle possible. So strength comes before bulk for me, but I

do want to add more muscle. I consider looking better a worthy side benefit,

though I would never want to look like a body builder, which I consider kind

of ugly.

I'll look into olympic lifting at some point, maybe after this semester ends.

muscle efficiency= Muscle memory

( somethign bruce lee focused on and you can tell in the full body

weight workouts he did )

( i think Ori has got a lot of info from bruces writings as you will

see bruce has many of these exercises and thoughts already mapped out

in the late 60's )
