MIKE METZNER (scholar of weights)
Mike died in 2001 of heart failure. His twin brother Ray who shared an apartment in Los Angeles together found Mike laying dead on the floor. Two days later Ray died of kidney failure. There's something so beautiful about that - twins, who despite everything, came and left this world together.
so I have a new workout, or should I say "In ADDITION TO" what I am doing.
My New workout according to Darren:
Monday: Legs and shoulders, calves (.5 of cardio)
Tuesday: Cardiio (45 minutes hard)
Wednesday: Back and biceps (.5 of cardio)
Thursday: Training off
Friday: Chest and triceps, abs (.5 of cardio)
Saturday: Ballet
Sunday: Spinning
"Only one body part per week and not working out 2 days in a row. You will have to learn how to train harder than anyone in that gym.
You will only do 2 sets and 2 exercises per body part so thats 4 sets per body part once a week. After you go home you need to write
down what you did or you can bring pen and paper to the gym. You will try to increase weight on every exercise every week. In a year
you should be doing twice as much weight as you are doing now. If you can make it to 12 reps you need to increase the weight. Dont go
below 8 which means it is too heavy. "
Legs - Squats (free weight, hack or smith machine) 2 sets
Extensions 2 sets
Shoulders - Seated dumbell presses 2 sets
Side lateral raises 2 sets
Calves - Standing raises 2 sets
Seated 2 sets
Back - Pull down to front 2 sets
Seated pulley rows 2 sets
Biceps - Machine Curls 2 sets
Dumbell seated curls 2 sets
Chest - Incline dumbell presses (bench almost flat) 2 sets
Cable, Machine or dumbell flys 2 sets
Triceps - Try to do dips 2 sets
Press downs 2 sets
Abs - Use a machine and load up the weights to make it hard. 2 sets
Legs raises on decline slant board holding hands on bench behind neck.
The way you work all 2 sets is you do the first set between 8 - 12 reps until failure.
Then you wait about 15 seconds, 3 or 4 breaths, lower the weight by about 25%
and then do the second set to failure. Your workout wont even take 25 minutes and
you will know you are doing in right when after the 2 sets you will be out of breath and
will need to rest 5 minutes before going to the next exercise.
This workout was derived from Mike Mentzer who was considered to be the smartest man
in bodybuilding and former Mr. Universe in the 1970's.

death to all gym bunnies! =P
I love gym bunnies!!!
BUT
Read up on Pete Sisco. the man is a genius and his stuff works.
And why spend a week in the gym when you can spend 5 minutes in it. 5 minutes per WEEK tops.
And get better results.
Google it. Revolutionises your idea of how to train.
apparently the theory is, or proof I should say, that when a woman works out it lowers your estrogen levels, and prolonged cardio supports that decrease in estrogen.
My cancer was estrogen positive by the way. It was started by estrogen, the most common kind of breast cancer.
I'm all into the weights though. My arms are looking hot and I'm looking super fit. But my main motivation is survival and quality of life. I aim to be a long term survivor and I have to do what I have to do.
I am SO APPRECIATIVE of your suggestion and I will most definitely check out Pete. Any other links or suggestions are always welcome.
Are you an athlete or what? is this the regime you follow?
Yes seriously, the man is a genius in his field. Simple, interesting and TRUE. You know how so much stuff nowadays is scientific-aspartame. Content free expressions. Well Sisco's stuff is simple and honest and it works.
As for your issue. I only just found out about it by reading your photostory. I actually looked at only 3 pictures (and please don't judge me. I am a male whore but not in the way you might think at first) the two of your breasts (before/after) and the one with you with a tiara.
I am ignorant of estrogen positive cancer but not of cancer as a whole. I trained as a hypnotherapist and have had 2 patients with it so far. Both have gone into full remissions although you cannot say it is due to the hypnosis alone. But you can't say it isn't either. Anyway I read you are in London from Sep 5th. Let's meet up and I can tell you more about it.
As for me...I trained in some sport or other most of my life. Martial arts mostly. Karate then systema. We are designed to MOVE. And we should. A lot more than we do. I dunno about being an athlete but I certainly have more energy than most people I have met in my life.
I think you doing cardio is fundamental. I also think the way you think unconsciously is pivotal. And hypnosis is the king of how to change that really.
There are only three ways I know (conscious ways I mean):
1. A regime of training in something...usually physical to a level of mastery that is within the top 0.01% of the world's population and top 1% of practitioners of it. Examples might be yoga, martial arts, meditation etc.
2. Controlled LSD trip under clinical conditions with trained operatives (illegal in most of the world now)
3. Deep hypnosis.
Hypnosis is also the most flexible and I think fastest too.
This conversation could run to days.
PM me and I'll send you my tel number. Call me when you get to London and we can talk more.
WOW. that's really amazing. LSD? Hypnosis. I am so into alternative methods. I am always head-tripping on myself when it comes to survivorship. At first it was all about SURVIVING - then when the treatment is over and you are clean no one tells you how to move on. Not that I was depressed but surely there isn't too much in the way of intellectual, spiritual advice about what it means to be standing on the edge of your life and what does it mean to move forward? It's a total mind-fuck for sure. they say, "move on girl, take your tamoxifen and starve youself cause you are going to get fat now." what kind of stupid advice is that?
Ya we should talk. I mean PM. You need to send me you number so we can meet up when I am in the city. I will be there for 10 days so there will be plenty of opportunity.
also you are obviously a kind person. it's OK you checked out my boobs FIRST. everyone else does!
you might want to check out BON IVER
they are beautiful and haunting as well.
Thanks, I will look at them.
I like that you are all about the mental gymnastics and that you're a porn star. And that you understand about the check boobs first biological impulse :)
We definitely must talk more.
