Just went to FF Emerald (I think they just opened yesterday)
745PM:
One word: CROWDED!
They shouldn't have opened it yet since only 1/4 of the lockers have keys or have locks. THE CONTRUCTION WORKERS ARE STILL ASSEMBLING THE LOCKERS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
As in sikip nya.
The layout is 2 floors, but di open ang space, tipong each floor has 5-6 30sqmtr sections for equipment, sikip talaga. Imagine nyo nalang na isang mall stall tapos mga 5-6 equipment nakasiksik dun or 5-8 benchs nakalagay.
Kulang din freeweights...
But daming chikababes hehe...
Hope the place is better in the morning (although I workout in Metro East in the morning, so malamang pang cardio nalang to)
The trainer (at least the one that I encountered) is better than the ones in Metro East and Libis since matulungin, and at least he's muscular. You don't need to ask for spot or help, he'll offer.
Basta the workout wasn't that good....
On the plus side, most members there right now are for "fitness" purposes, so wala kang kaagaw sa 40-80lb dumbbells hehe.

Static hold tricep pushdown (+ negatives) 30kg x 30 sec x 5sets-- Edited by theveed at 13:03, 2005-02-11" Theveed,will try to do it,but can't lift the same weight as you do.Do you follow a certain program for your workout?It seems that you alter your workout pattern from time to time.What is the cycle of your program?
I follow a protocol though... I follow 4 phases usually on a workout, as taught in the CliffHanger program. That'll be starting with a ballistic phase, then eccentric phase, burnout phase and fascia phase... So it'll be low rep - power movements > mid rep - long negatives > mid-high rep - pump and negatives > high reps - pump/mitochondrial stretch phase.
I change my program (exercises performed) depending on how I felt on my last workout. I combine exercises that seemingly hits my muscle better... It also depends on how I feel that day. Meaning, if I went real heavy the day before, I probably won't have that much strength today, so I'll work more on ROM than weight.
So far so good, the mind-muscle connection of the exercises I choose or experiment is giving me good feedback.
I haven't gone heavy for a month already if you check the logs in December or so... Sticking to ROM movements right now.
Like with DLs, I only go up to 100kg or less now, but movements are really slow and deliberate as opposed to a few months ago when I was doing more power movements which can go up to 150kg. Ditto with squats.
