What does RP stand for?

Rest Pause

You do as many reps as you can until failure, re-rack the weight, count to 15, and repeat.  Usually I quit after 3 tries because a) I'm cranking out a whole 2 reps at that point and b) I'm usually in the rep range I'm supposed to be by then.

I'm not 100% clear on how it works but I think the idea is basically you're doing 3-4 minisets with very little rest and a higher weight than you'd be doing if you were just trying to crank 1x20 of whatever.

Shit run today.  I have lots of excuses and none of htem are good.  Nike+ says 2.36 miles in 22 minutes, but I think  I went further than that.  Still a crappy run.

Don't remember what phone you have but if you've got gps try run keeper tomorrow. I switched to it from Nike and like it a lot. More accurate I've found.

[Govtcheez]

I have a blackberry and they don't make runkeeper for it.  I'm trying to convince work to get me an iPhone because some other people are getting them.  I'm sticking with the Nike+ for now.  Most of my running is on flat surfaces and it seems to be pretty accurate for that.

Fair enough....if you get an iPhone it check out the nike+ or runner app...or a droid for tha tmatter...

Never done that, though sometimes if I can't finish a set on a machine I'll switch to a lower weight without much of a pause. Sounds like something for me to try next time I go to the gym.

lifted today, nbd except i did 13 dips which was pretty rockin.  Need to get a dip belt soon

at some point today my diet went offtrack

[Govtcheez]

This was not a crazy meal before we started doing low carb.  Like I said, it's amazing how fast something that doesn't seem "that bad" can blow the whole thing.

183.0 this morning

Deadlift 1x5x275, 1x305, 1x315 woohoo! Apparently the key to deadlifting is not doing them for a few weeks (and Nonpoint)

WG Cable Row 1x16x60RP
NG Pullups 4, 3, 3, 2

2.25 miles on elliptical in 20 minutes

the 315 deadlift means that I can now deadlift all the weights in that I bought for my home gym that never gets used

[Govtcheez]
