Mission 2, Day 29: Fun day
Today was a rest day for me and I had alot of fun! I went to a hockey game and froze my butt off, but it was alot of fun. I met up with alot of people I know from my past and we had some good chats. It was a blast.
I did some reading in Championship Bodybuilding by Chris Aceto today. While I didn't really learn anything new, it simply confirms my existing knowledge. Chris spends alot of time talking about adaptation and how to avoid it. He says something I know my friend, Mike Groom, will agree with. "Heavy weights is the most basic stimulus causing maximal muscle fiber recruitment. When you take a set to failure in the 6 to 12 rep range, rest assure all the 2b fibers — the one's that have the greatest potential for muscular growth — are recruited." (p. 112) Chris spends some time talking about the various splits that are available for bodybuilding. He recommends different things for beginner, intermediate and advanced trainees. While alot of it is common sense, Chris puts a different spin on it. It is very interesting to read.

Workout Log:
No workout today as it was a rest day!
Tomorrow begins more of the "No Mercy" workouts! Check back tomorrow for the details.
Until tomorrow...GET BACK TO LIFTING!
I agree whole-heartedly! LIFT HEAVY OR GO HOME! No matter what your goal, you should always lift the maximum amount of weight you can. Even now I'm trying to lose bodyfat and I'm seriously dropping calories, I'll still lift as heavy as I can. Granted my workout will change slightly, but I'll still hit the gym aiming to LIFT BIG.

Bud, I owe you big...I was reading your nutrition info and saw the address Physique transformation...decided to go and take a look. WOW, I was blown away. Anyway, started the program and was shocked at how little I'm eating. My metabolism had stalled...So thanks.
Also, we are both doing NROL, I'm on hypertrophy. I KNOW we are both on the right track. THANKS buddy.
