Well, they say Tom Platz used to load up the bar with 225 lbs then squat for 10 minutes non-stop, which probably ended up being quite a lot more than 100 reps. Then when people asked him how many sets he did for legs today, he'd say, Oh, just one. (!!!)
He's also credited with having some of the freakiest quad development ever seen.
I guess 225 was light for him.
Rez, as for your question, you've been around here a while - just try a bunch of diff mixtures and feel which one feels best. You'll know. Are you still cutting, or just maintaining? Cuz obviously that would affect what you have before and after, and how long before and after.
Course, for me, it would have to be carbs + pro all the way.
Oh, and Happy Birthday!
You have to be kidding, right?
You are doing a pump (aka Plump class) class because you have an injured back. OK lets think this through taking weights and jerking them up and down at an ineffective pace, to the beat of up tempo techno music mixes, that would be problem one.
Eat or not to eat? Doing pump class non effective so don't let it effect your nutrition look at the class as a non factor problem 2- doing the class (really if plump class worked every bodybuilder in the country would trade in their weight belts for leg warmers).
problem 3 joint problems- need I say more!
This is a lame excuse for the aerobic industry to sabotage good peoples results with confusion. I spend most of my day trying to dispell the myths and folklore of weight training like I just want to tone not get huge muscles like the BBers and here are these plump aerobic people tearing it all down with one high energy packed, fun filled, up beat class where girls can workout with girls and still look buff well PHOOIE on that! I can not read this post without setting it straight-
PUMP CLASS WILL NOT WORK PERIOD!!!!!!!
By this I mean there is no different between muscle tone and muscle growth it is the one and the samething, reading on this web site will teach you this. Doing hundreds of reps will only shrink muscle tissue causing the loss of muscle tone hurting the energy output reducing the fat loss capacity this is what people don't want.
People still confuse sweating with exercise this is a sad shame with all the information available today even on this board alone.
If you want to still see results dispite your injury try to do more exercises that do not incorperate the use of your lower back and increase cardio this is simple just please, please, oh please do not waste another second with those wigged out aerobic freak groupies who are still trying to get a clue on how to lose fat and gain muscle.
This post is not meant to incite fury, it's purpose is to teach unless your are a promoter of Plump Aerobics in which you can get as pissed as you want.

Get a clue, asshole. It WILL WORK to increase MUSCULAR ENDURANCE & burn calories.2wide said:
No, it will not work to increase overall lean mass significantly & stimulate hypertrophy. THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT OF THE CLASS.
What the fuck makes you think "the fitness industry is sabotaging good people's results"? What kinda fucking idiot would actually believe that women would STOP LIFTING FREE WEIGHTS in order to come take Pump class instead???
You obviously have NO FREAKING IDEA what the average women does in the gym. Many women would never touch a weight of any amount in any way it it weren't for pump.

2wide,
Your rant is misplaced. No one here thinks that Pump class is a substitute for strength training with heavy weights, and I really don't think that rez is doing Pump because she's afraid of "big muscles." She's doing something different while she's recuperating.
I can't speak for Pump, but the aerobics combined with high-volume weight workouts that I did (The Firm video tapes) for two years introduced me to the importance and benefits of free weights. I belonged to a gym before, but I NEVER used the free weights. When I started doing these tapes, I bought weights. I loved how it felt to lift them. I learned the basics of form. I did lose some fat, increase my endurance and increase my strength. The downside was that the constant OHPs (combined with scanning heavy items as a cashier) hurt one of my rotator cuffs. The other drawback was that the speed of the class and the number of reps make it difficult to increase the weight. I started to do only those tapes that made it easier to 'heavy up.' When I came back to exercising after recuperating from surgery, I did a couple of those tapes again - just to get the old bod moving again, even though I knew I was going to abandon them for heavier lifting.
I outgrew the workouts (unfortunately, months before I realized it), but I don't regret doing them. Definitely heavy lifting would have been more effective, and that's what I'm doing now. But frankly, I don't think that I would have even considered it if I hadn't been introduced to the free weights via these workouts.
