BBS and some thoughts

Eating: nothing but I'll get something upstairs when I'm done typing

Drinking: making some tea, a high mountain oolong from 2006

Listening: Anti-Matter

seated row 90# 10

chest press 110# 11

pulldown 120# 10

overhead press 50# 70

leg press 240# 13

 

Slight progress for everything except the OHP, and I think that was because I moved very quickly between exercises.  Obviously I didn't time anything, but the reps, pulldowns aside for some reason, were slow and smooth.  The pulldowns were very tough and I lurched on the last two reps.  I feel a lot stronger than I did when I started this program, but I think right now it needs tweaking.  It's really becoming clear (to me, anyway) that my legs are up to this but my arms are not.  I just don't feel like these weights are getting any easier, and I leave my workout with my arms feeling like I haven't worked them enough.  On my scoresheet I wrote, in a fucked up scrawl because I had just finished the leg press, NEXT TIME TRIPLES!  So, next time I am going to do sets of 10, 8, fail at the following weights:

 

seated row 70# 80# 90#

chest press 90# 100# 110#

pulldown 100# 110# 120#

overhead press 30# 40# 50#

leg press 220# 240# 260#

 

I'll do this for at least a month and then return to the strict BBS protocol and see how I've fared.  I think this is from Art Devany.  Drew Baye does not advocate multiple sets, but he is a lot more flexible than BBS - for instance he says multiple sets per week at first.
