Is there any reason that the workouts cannot be split in half?
ex. main moves am and accessory work pm
for some reason the hubby and I cannot get together for the amount of time it takes to do it all at once but we can coordinate things if we split it. I think this is an idicator that perhaps we are TOO busy.

Yeah, right now it is. Part of the problem is figuring out our starting weights and we may not be adding enough each set as we progress to the 1RM. On two board press for example how many sets does it normally take not counting warmups to hit your 1RM?

 

[Temple]

yeah, that is about where we are at as far as sets. Most times it is taking more than an hour. When we do it in the evening we have employees who are in and out asking questions so that takes some time. As long as we can split it we will probably do that as it guarantees that the workout won't get cut short.

Temple..once you actually know your Records for each lift then it will be easier to figure your jumps. When you are first starting out its hard to know what your PR will be...so you take a bunch of little jumps and it takes forever.

I usually start with the bar...and go Quarter, Plate, Quarter, Plate....until I get close to my old record.

Also as for your question about splitting it up...I do that every workout. Usually I will do the first two move with the others so I have spotters...then go run "day care" while they finish up. Then I will go back and do accessory work.

Thanks Hannibal - that helps. WE can always fit in half an hour or so am and pm but to always get an hour plus either place is often impossible. If we had the whole thing to do tonight it just wouldn't get done as there will be people running in and out of here for the next two hours.
