One rep max

Hey, I have a question...Is it best to figure out my one rep max for the exercises I'm doing for my 7MB workouts and then use 55% of that 1RM to start? Or, just pick a weight that I can actually…Continue

Hey, I'm doing my chest and back workout today (cause I missed my Monday AM workout), and will be doing TB Chest Flys during the mass phase. I don't have a bench, so I'm just hooking my Bodylastics…Continue

JBF Mentor Tom Mortensen replied to Terry Davis's discussion One rep max"Hi Terry,
Yes, you can progress with weight increases at a pace that suits you. General recommendations are not to increase more than approx. 5% per week. 2-3 weeks between each increase will be fine, or even longer. As long as you…"
Terry Davis replied to Terry Davis's discussion One rep max"Hey Tom...
I'm just now seeing your response to my question. Thanks! One other thing I need to add...While I realize progression is crucial to the workout, can I look at using the same weight for an exercise (ex: today I did chest…"
JBF Mentor Tom Mortensen replied to Terry Davis's discussion One rep max"Yes, the 55% rule is just to give you a starting point, if you have never lifted a dumbbell before. The practical approach you suggest will work just fine. But do try and challenge yourself a bit and progress on either the weight lifted or reps…"
Terry Davis posted a discussionOne rep max
Hey, I have a question...Is it best to figure out my one rep max for the exercises I'm doing for my 7MB workouts and then use 55% of that 1RM to start? Or, just pick a weight that I can actually lift for 5-10 reps and go from there.It seems kind of of confusing (and time consuming) trying to figure all this out. Feedback anyone?See More
Terry Davis replied to John Mulcahy's discussion More quad specific exercises?"I think you just answered the question I was going to ask. I'm doing the Quad/Hamstrings workout at home w/bands and will just do quads for 7 minutes and hams for 2 minutes, then switch up and do the opposite next week. Feedback?"
JBF Coach Sarah replied to Terry Davis's discussion TB Chest Flys for 7MB"I tend to use my favourite exercises more often than others (comfort zone training) just making it more challenging with weight increase, reduced rest period, varying time (positives and negatives) ... but every so often I will switch and do a…"
JBF Mentor Tom Mortensen replied to Terry Davis's discussion TB Chest Flys for 7MB"If you do the pushups with a wide "stance", i.e. hands away from the body, you will work your chest the most. If you can feel your chest muscles work when using your present setup, it most likely works."
Terry Davis replied to Terry Davis's discussion TB Chest Flys for 7MB"Hi Sarah...Thanks for the reply. I'm in the USA (Columbus, OH). I'll have to take a look at the vendor your mentioned. I'm sure others here at JBF will respond if they have some leads.
The only other exercise I use…"
JBF Coach Sarah replied to Terry Davis's discussion TB Chest Flys for 7MB"Where do you live Terry? I mean country-wise. Here in Canada, I know where they sell reasonable selectables as I got mine from Canadian Tire :) , anywhere else we'll have to wait for others to chime in.
I'm trying to visualize your fly…"
Terry Davis posted a discussionTB Chest Flys for 7MB
Hey, I'm doing my chest and back workout today (cause I missed my Monday AM workout), and will be doing TB Chest Flys during the mass phase. I don't have a bench, so I'm just hooking my Bodylastics bands to the top of a door, arms spread, standing a few inches away from the door and leaning forward to do the exercise. Is this ok?If you have suggestions on exercises I can do with bands without a workout bench, definitely hit me back. I can use all the info I can get to maximize my…See More
Terry Davis posted a status"Hey folks...are there other ab alternatives for 7MB besides the ones in the book? Can't do hanging leg raises at home....No space."
Terry Davis replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"Hey John...
I use Bodylastic bands as well for 7MB. Have you had to purchase additional bands to increase the resistance as you've gotten stronger or added muscle mass? How did you come up with a weight resistance (starting out)…"
Terry Davis replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"Well, looks like my question about using Bodylstics Bands w/ 7MB has been answered. I kinda toyed with the workout 7MM online videos with my bands last week, but tomorrow, it's on for real.
If anyone doesn't mind sharing, what kind…"
Terry Davis replied to Andy Rosen's discussion Workout without equipment"Normally, I do chest press standing w/ the bands in a door anchor behind me and I press forward. For rows, I still use the same door anchor at the bottom of the door, and sit facing the door and pull toward me.
I think I do have the e-book…"

What other species even questions what to eat or how much?
Where are our instincts? Killed by civilization, or just "in a coma"?"
Markku Niilo-Rämä replied to JBF Coach Sarah's discussion If you wonder what oil to use for cooking ..."I think saturated fats have gotten an undeserved bad rap.. and polyunsaturated fats are bad.. and one should avoid omega 6 and try to get more omega 3.. fish oil good, trans fats the worst (even though the media often lumps them together :(…"

"Yes, that's nice. You can do your workout whenever and however you like. Just be careful if you workout alone, with no-one to assist you if things get too heavy, you could get hurt. But I guess you know yourself and you limits well by now.…"
