Questions/Comments as nearing end of first FT blast

[Scott Stevenson]

"funny" thing. As I am now in the 2 week cruise, doing Tier I muscle round workouts only, NOW I am starting to have issues at joint areas. I won't say joint pain, but to be more specific the muscles/tendons around some joints.

LOL - That's not very specific.

For lack of a better way to say it, it's like now during the cruise my body is having time to catch up and start to feel the pain and tiredness caused by the blast period. Make sense to anyone?

First time I've heard of this, but you've changed cardio and perhaps diet, too.

The muscle round sets are definitely hardest on my body. I have found that for me, I can't use the general rule of a weight that is about a 15 rep max. I have to go to about half that to get a weight that I can properly use for a muscle round (so that I fail at the 3rd or 4th set within the muscle round).

Post up a video. Half the weight of a true 15RM would be something that most folks could do more than 24 reps with for a straight set.

So, you're saying that if you could leg press 500lb for 15, you can only use 250lb and would fail doing a total of 15 reps (putting you in the 4th set of a muscle round), even though you have the rest intervals between sets?...

(BTW, if you fail in the 3rd set of a muscle round, that's too much weight.)
