Nino’s Mission

My Thoughts On The One Rep Max Program

December 7th, 2007

Hey my friend welcome back! My friend how’s it going with you on this rainy day? Gee Nino I’ll be be totally honest with you, but I didn’t feel like coming today! Gee my friend that sure doesn’t sound like you usually you can’t wait, to get here and tell me some great news that you have for me!

Well Nino as a matter of fact I do have some news to share with you today, but I wouldn’t necessarily call the news great by any means whatsoever! Gee my friend is everything… ok with you? Gee Nino to be totally honest with you I’ve been really sore with my workouts lately, and as a result I had a really hard time of getting out of bed this morning to get here! My friend would it be safe for me to say then that the main reason why you didn’t feel like coming today, is due to your body being sore from your workouts then!

Gee Nino your right on target once again…. because your absolutely right with that assumption! Gee my friend you should consider it a good thing when you can’t get out of bed, due to your muscles being sore…. because that only tells me one thing!

Gee Nino and what might that be?

Well my friend it’s pretty simple which is simply that “my” high rep training program that you’ve been doing lately, is really paying off for you because your muscles are being worked until their fatigued and that’s what’s going to make them grow! My friend I just want to take this time and tell you how proud I am of you, of you sticking with doing the high reps as long as you have because it’s definitely not an easy thing to do at all!

Gee Nino before you say anything further there’s something that I have to tell you! Gee My friend absolutely…. go right ahead! Oh my friend hang on a minute I have one more thing to say to you, before you tell me what’s on your mind!

Ok Nino sure what is it?

Well my friend I just want to encourage you to keep on training through your muscle soreness, because all those reps that you’ve been dong lately is going to pay off for you! Ok my friend I just thought that I would say that to you so you keep training hard, and pressing on torwards your goal to acheive the body of your dreams!

Ok my friend the floor is yours….. what’s on your mind?

Gee Nino after what you just told me it’s going to make what I’m about to tell you alot harder for me to say, because I don’t want to disappoint you or for that matter you be unhappy with me either! Gee my friend how many times do we have to go through this until you understand…. which is simply this! My friend there is absolutely nothing that you can say to me or do, that would allow me to be disappointed or unhappy with you!

Furthermore my friend just for the record as a matter of fact I couldn’t be more happy with you lately, because it’s like I’ve been telling you week after week! My friend which is simply you’ve definitely matured a great deal in alot of area’s of your life, since we’ve been togeter and that is not easy for anyone to do today!

Ok my friend that being said hopefully for the last time….. can you now please tell me what’s up?

Gee Nino your absolutely right I shouldn’t be afraid to tell you anything by now, because you’ve done nothing but help me! Gee my friend you’ve already made my day so whatever it is that your about to tell me, is not going to change that one bit! Ok Nino here it is! Well Nino as a matter of fact I haven’t been doing your high rep training program lately so I think it would be safe to say, that’s not the reason why I’ve been so sore lately!

Gee my friend I’ll be totally honest with you but I’m quite surprised I really didn’t expect that response from you! My friend because I’ve been doing my high rep training program for a long period of time, and let me tell you my muscles are sore everyday by doing it! So my friend if you haven’t been doing my training program lately that’s causing you to be so sore…. what type of training program have you been doing then? Well Nino before I answer your question do you remember awhile back when we discussed how important it is, to change up our training program from time to time so we don’t become bored with it?

Gee my friend as a matter I do! My friend let me just say to you how impressed I am of you that you even remember our discussion on that topic, because that definitely was awhile back! My friend that definitely tells me that you’ve been paying close attention to the topics, that we’ve discussed so far lately! Yeah Nino your absolutely right I have been paying attention and I’ve been taking, every advice you’ve given me so far to heart! Well Nino that being said I think that you’ll be happy to know, that I’ve taken your advice once again…. and changed up my training program!

Gee my friend that’s great news! My friend why did you think that I would be unhappy or disappointed with you, by you changing up your training program? Gee Nino I don’t know! Well my friend don’t keep me in suspense any longer…… what type of training program are you doing? Ok Nino have you ever heard of a program called…. “The One Rep Max Training Program”? My friend as a matter of fact ….I have heard of it! Well Nino I’ve been doing it for three weeks now and I just love it!

Gee my friend if you don’t mind me asking….. what do you love about your new training program? Gee Nino absolutely not because I just know that your going to approve, of me doing this new training program! Well my friend I guess only time will tell if that certainly holds true….. so let’s hear it!

Ok Nino for starters I only have to do one rep of as much weight as I can possibly do… and that’s it! Gee Nino and what I like about that is that I certainly don’t have to worry about burning myself out, like if I were doing the high reps! Gee Nino and let me just say by doing this “One Rep Max ”Program” I excert all my strength for that one rep, that my muscles and body are already fatigued “big time”! Furthermore Nino the best part of doing this new training program is that I’ve had alot of girls lately, have come up to me to say how impressed they are of me lifting all this weight!

Ok Nino that being said….. so what are your thoughts on my new training program? Well my friend let me first say to you… that I’m very impressed! Gee Nino I just knew that you would love my new training program, because I’m lifting a ton of weight….. right! Well my friend not exactly! My friend what I’m so impressed about is that you just came up with our next topic of discussion today!

Gee Nino let me take a wild guess and say that your going to give me your thoughts today, on “The One Rep Max Training Program” that I’m doing! Gee my friend you’ve just impressed me again…… because your absolutely right!

Well my friend it’s like I stated to you eariler I’m very familiar with “The One Rep Max Program” that your doing, and I’ll be totally honest with you I’m not a big fan of it one bit and I’m going to tell you why today I feel this way! Gee Nino why do I have a feeling today that I’m going to receive another valuable training lesson from you, that could cause my new training program to be short lived just like all the diets that I’ve tried have been also!

Well my friend I guess only time will tell again… if that holds true! Well Nino I think that you’ll be happy to know, that I brought my pen and pad today just in case!

Great my friend because you can be assured that both your pen and pad, are going to be put to good use today!

So my friend what do you say we get going today and give you my thoughts on your new training program!

Gee Nino I’m absolutely looking forward to this next training lesson…… I’m ready to go!

Great my friend…… here we go again!

Well my friend let me just say one thing to you before we get started which is simply my objective today, is ONLY to give you my thoughts on “The One Rep Max Training Program” that your doing! My friend after which the decision wether or not you want to continue doing your new training program, is going to be left totally up to you! My friend because it’s like I said to you earlier you’ve matured a whole lot, since we’ve been together and I feel confident that you’ll make the right descision!

Gee Nino do you really think that I’m ready to start making… my own training decisions? My friend absolutely and I have a strong feeling that God does too! Ok my friend that being said now I’ll give you my thoughts, on your new training program!

Ok Nino go ahead…. I’m all ears!

Ok my friend…. listen up!

Well my friend if anybody is familiar with “The One Rep Max Program” today it’s “me” because this brings me back to my powerlifting days! My friend do you recall the discussion we had awhile back, when I was training for a Bench Press competition? Gee Nino I sure do and I’m still amazed, by how much weight you pressed! Well my friend believe or not I was on the same exact training program, that your on now for two months in order for me to prepare for the competition!

My friend I’m not going to go back and tell you every detail because we already discussed alot of it, but there something that I want to share with you that happened to “me” right after I set the bench record!

Gee Nino what happened to you?

Ok my friend this might be a good time for you.. to start writing!

Ok Nino I’m ready and I have my ears on!

Great my friend because I have a strong feeling of what I’m about to tell you is without a doubt, going to help to decide today wether or not your going to continue with your new training program! Well my friend right after my bench meet I ended up taking a few months off of training in the gym! Yeah Nino as a matter of fact I remember you telling me that and if my memory serves me right, it was due to all the heavy training you were doing for those couple of months! Gee my friend you have a great memory because your absolutely right, but there’s another good reason why I had to take time off!

My friend! Would you like to know what that other reason was?

Gee Nino absolutely because if its going to help ”me” decide today wether or not to continue doing the “One Rep Max Progam”…… I definitely need all the advice you can give me! Ok my friend here comes the other reason why I had to take time off…. listen up! Well my friend right after my bench press contest I ended up severely pulling ”my pectorial muscles, and let me just say that wasn’t fun one bit! My friend if that wasn’t bad enough it was even a challege for me to walk on my crutches everyday, because I would just be putting even more strain on “my” pecs and that was the last thing that I wanted to happen!

My friend! Do you get the point that I’m trying to make to you here?

Yeah Nino I certainly do which is simply this! Gee Nino if I continue doing the “One Rep Max ”Program” I could very well be one rep away, of severely injurying myself to the point where I might not be able to train for months or for that matter ever again! Gee my friend I couldn’t have sumed it up any better myself!

So my friend by you saying that to ”me” does it mean what I think it means! Gee Nino it sure does which is simply as of today I’m done with “The One Rep Max Program”! Nino because I definitely have no intentions of cutting my traning career short, due to an injury that could have easily been avoided!

Gee Nino I really appreciate you giving me your thoughts today on “The One Rep Max “Program, because I have a strong feeling if I continued with this training program our next meeting might have been in the hospital! Well my friend I don’t think you have to worry about that anymore! Hey Nino what do you say we get out of here and catch… one of your high rep workouts together? Gee my friend now your talking my language again…. let’s go pump some Iron!!
