I'm thinking you mean Good Mornings?! If so I was doing them standing legs straight, bending over to 90 to back up to hit the hams more then the low back. How come? Transitioned out of those this week.The Shadow said:Are you doing the GMS seated or standing?? If standing - stiff or bent legged & what is the depth?
I'm here girl I'm here, I'm here, where are you?!?!? FlorrrrrrFlorencia said:Got the karma sweetheart!!! Now get here!!!
Ahh thanks girl!!!! I need 2 go catch up on your log, I'm sure you have it filled with your work-outs and diet, right, rightLulderen said:You've got to be one of the most motivated people I know, Treilin....in EVERYTHING you do!
I think you been checkin out SBT's log.Claire said:I have a question about the reps you choice for each set. You do 6,1,6,12,20 reps. I noticed that some of the other women also do something similar. Is there an article or thread available that explains the rep sequence?
After reading about different types of rep schemes I decided to combine a few different training ideas into one and that is how I came up with the last work-out. I took a strength work-out approach, took in the idea of a wave style technique, finished out with higher reps to recruit more muscle fibers and try to fatigue the muscle out. So towards the end it kinda had a hypertrophy flare. I had also never strictly done an upper body work-out and a lower body work-out. So I decided that I would throw that in there while keeping in mind that I would go back to a 5 day single body part again next cycle up till show. So the difference would hopefully help shock the muscles a bit more... Then I was thinking how could I keep getting the weights to go up easier each week. That's when I took and divided out the upper and lower work-outs hitting each part a tad differently to help with the next work-out for that muscle group. So ie. for chest I would hit it with bench BB, then next upper day I would hit it with DB's and would notice a huge increase in strength between the two and it was a continual feed back and forth. I really enjoyed that work-out actually. I will definitely do it again some day and I think my body responded well, as well as somebody else's . As for this week I am back into pure hypertrophy.
Specifically I found this cert on T-Nation about wave technique. Although mine was a altered wave.. this is the idea behind it:
"The method is a type of wave loading based on the principal of post-tetanic facilitation. You'll end up doing "waves" of three sets, using progressively heavier weight with each set. The second and third waves, however, will also use progressively heavier loads than the first wave. Athletes will find that the hardest wave is the first one, and the succeeding ones are easier to perform.
To get the best results in this method takes some emotional control — I don't believe that the first wave should be performed at optimal load. But the second may be — can you wait that long? I've also found that if you overdose on the first wave, the second wave is performed at the same or lower loads, and this definitely is not the goal."
