GM folks, been Readn the PL forum, n must say, Sister, u know ur stuff. The part where u mention lowering the bar quickly, but controlled is spot on, that's to me a sign of a,seasoned confident weight trainer. This old dog is gonna b mindful of a new trick, not that its new but I've definitely become set in my ways. I made my biggest: improvements when I read Mike Mentzer's theory n applications. 1-3 reps n maximumize recovery, a persons can increase their strength from the time they start training in 2 yrs approximately 300%, whereas recovery ability only increases 50%, so this eqautes to requiring more rest, I only fall short cause I get bored n cant rest the 4-7 days between sessions mike suggests.
