5/19 workout: Squats supersetted with dumbell pullovers: 170#x20(+5#)/30#x20 200#x10(+5#)/30#x20 240#x1(+5#)/30#x20 My stabilizers were very tired on that 3rd set. That's why I only did one rep. Slow leg press on 45°leg press: 360#x1 Calf raises on 45° leg press: 270#x14 270#x13 270#x13 Not a bad workout considering I was sick all week.

I have found that colds generally don't stop progress at all, unless they linger or turn to bronchitis. Flu with fever is a different story.
But those are good numbers for not being on top of your game.

I still have been training 1-2 a week, but I have doing instinctive training thats geared more towards getting at my physiology. I am not concerned with strength gains but I used the heaviest weight I can for 10 reps and use purposely fast reps without pause.
How are u doing John? Haven't heard from u in a while.
I hope all is well,
Beau

I hope all is well, Beau Hi Beau, All is well and I am glad to see you have maintained regular training. I have been exceptionally busy and have very little free time lately. That is a good thing.

Glad to hear your keeping busy, John. What I try and do with my workouts these days is very instinctive and I try to achieve a certain feeling in the muscle I am training. I avoid lockout and maintain tension throughout my sets, and I use high effort reps. Look at Ronnie Coleman training on youtube, that would be the best example of how I train. I've trimmed down to 210#, while maintaining my strength. I look pretty good, not as massive but definitely look better with my shirt off

I have also come down to around 225# or 220# from the 250-260# when I shot most of the videos. While many of the "form nazis" have issues with the Coleman Form/Style, it is actually an excellent manner of training heavy without wrecking your joints. Full flexion and full extension in some exercises can actually be damaging sometimes. Many Bench Press injuries are caused by too much ROM in the shoulder and transitioning to a less stable portion with too much load. Keep it up.
