RE: [fast5] Power of 10

Awesome report, Rick.

It sounds like "Power of 10" and "Slow Burn Revolution" and the "Big Five"
of "Body by Science" are all very similar.

I'm using "Body by Science"'s "Big Five" which is only five lifts at a time,
all done in machines (for better safety).

I just finished my third work out, too, on Sunday, and my mentor in this is
already suggesting that I wait a full 10 days for recovery before I do my
next work out....

Subject: [fast5] Power of 10

I hope this isn't too off topic, but there was a little discussion a few
weeks back about the Power of 10 workout and I wanted to share my experience
with it and Fast-5. I got a used copy of the Power of 10 book and I've been
doing the routine and it REALLY can be brutally tough if you do it right.
You lift weights once a week, one exercise per body part, one set per
exercise. Five to eight reps, ten seconds up and ten seconds down each rep.
You really can't use heavy weights so check your ego at the door. ;) It's
very much in the mentality of Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty workouts in that you
do one set per body part per week. I'm used to that because I've done it
for years. But ten seconds up and ten seconds down is ridiculously easy at
first but as you fatigue it gets insanely difficult and painful. THEN on
the last rep, after you can't move anymore, you keep pushing for a count of
eight! I tell you, you need a week just to let your mind heal!

So I've done this routine for maybe 3 weeks now and I seem to be gaining
muscle mass already. Fast five supports it very easily as the Power of Ten
workout is only 45 minutes a week. The only change in my diet is that I'll
eat a couple of extra eggs on the day that I lift.

I'm just really excited to have found a way to live that gets results so
easily. Eat once a day, lift once a week. Fast-5, Power of 10. LOVE IT!
