A bit over 100 reps seems to be the sweet spot for upperbody. 150+ for lower.

I did 107 reps of dumbbell bench press, plus an extra 10+3. it only took me 8 sets. Then rows 106 reps of each arm, it only took me 4 sets. I have a hell a strong back.

That's all, tomorrow I plant to enter a local gym where they only have all the nautilus machines. Just to use more weight.

Now I will two cook eggs, broccoli and potatoes. Does that sound masculine and nutritionally well composed enough to you experts on the matter?

A piss? What you talking about?

This is Rami. I been here for a long long time. I often bring up insights that I have gathered from personal experimentation pertaining to the physical and mental experience of life.

[Rami]

I also know that I methodically keep getting better and better. There is only my way of doing things if you want to be assured steady positive progress and don't want to lay your physical and mental experience of life in the hand of some random guru/expert/researcher/snake oil salesman or drug abusing bodybuilder.

So if I sometimes sound like others, maybe it's because truth sound alike no matter who speaks it.

Have you knuckleheads ever thought of that?

No 150+ reps is for squats, dead lifts, just the lower body. I just do as many reps as you can, then rest some and do the next set as many reps you can then continue like that till you hit about 180 total reps or so.

I alternate between dumbbells and decline push ups for chest.

I used to do something similar for chins and dips. Try to get to 100 reps with as many sets as possible. Seemed to work well.

Felt good to abandon running. I set a new PR after 3 times which was extremely exhilarating and surprising after all these years but my increased starches explains it (white rice, white potatoes, polenta, buckwheat) which is good for cardio.

However I started to feel cold during the mornings and not as apt to lifting heavy weights during the day, JUST as I feared and predicted would happen as my body adapts towards cardio.

I'm back to lifting my usual reps again instead of running, now that I haven't run for 5 days.
 
I will continue to take a week, now and then, for running and then go back to lifting. To see what happens. In the summer I'd like to run every week though, but leaves me with less then optimal efforts for lifting weights.

Maybe I can figure this one out as well. Probably. I have the energy systems and the food pretty much down to break all my records.

I just need to make some minor scientific breakthroughs now. That will allow my to pursue both at the same time.
