I won't be rushing things, but I'll play w. the rest intervals/density. Most days will just be w. 135 or so. I might throw in a heavier day or two just so 185 doesn't feel heavy. My only real goal is to have fun w. it and not wreck myself in the process.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965125392095147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-29231510385810860702014-02-26T09:03:11.595-06:002014-02-26T09:03:11.595-06:00I think you could set it up using Westside "i...I think you could set it up using Westside "inspired" principles - one day "max effort" (just some heavier sets - I wouldn't worry about actual maxes), and one day rep effort, rather than dynamic. Load up with your intended weight, and knock out some reps, leaving a few in the tank. Maybe even do a couple sets. You could also shoot for a goal number (say it's 50), and break it into say 5x10, and work to shorten rest periods between sets. Just a few thoughts.BrockLegginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18172039660033206911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-76371020167486633632014-02-23T17:16:23.464-06:002014-02-23T17:16:23.464-06:00Hi Jeff,

I think if I gave it several months of prep, I'd want to be plenty strong and conditioned and make sure to lay off the junk food for a while.<br /><br />I weigh about 190 right now. I'll try to weigh 185 for ease of loading. I'll do quite a few higher rep sets in the next 2-3 weeks to condition. If I had more time, I'd work on pushing limit strength a little, but right now I'm out of shape enough that anything will do.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965125392095147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-39905019337891304502014-02-23T10:22:09.203-06:002014-02-23T10:22:09.203-06:00Boris,
