![]() ![]() High home prices this time reflect real demand “There is a lot of skin in the game and ability to repay is a large consideration,” he says. Jeff Taylor, a board member at the Mortgage Bankers Association who has more than 20 years of experience in the mortgage industry, says that loan products and underwriting guidelines no longer allow for borrowers to take as much risk. Between 20, subprime mortgages only made up around 1% of all US mortgage originations. Today, subprime lending is much less common, thanks in part to federal regulation that has set stricter standards. Sounds to me it's saying, for example: Let's say the heaviest weight you can lift 8-10 reps on is a 100 lbs, then you'd want to do 50 lbs of 12 reps, and then rest for 1 minute.Economists aren’t concerned about a repeat of the previous housing crisis, partly because the fundamentals of mortgage lending are much stronger this time around. IF I'm reading that correctly.that is that I'm doing 12 reps of my "working" weight, yes? IF I'm reading that correctly.that is that I'm doing 12 reps at 50% of my "working" weight, yes? "In your first warm up set, you want to do 12 reps with about 50% of your heavy, 8-10 rep set weight and then rest for 1 minute." ![]() So my tracking book has the cheat sheet breaking down the warm-up routine. Maybe you can help me with deciphering what this means.because I keep convincing myself that it means something other than what *I* think it means. Trying to get my bearings about myself before I dive in to this.make sure I have some idea of what I need to do to REMEMBER what I need to do once I get in the gym, lol. I've done some light cruising on his site. I do love that I didn't feel like he was blowing smoke, like so many of them do. I had both books converted to spiral bound and had the covers laminated.much easier to flip through, but still.thinking it's a PITA for sure. Thanks for the info! I was definitely considering using excel or some other way to track. He has a bunch of podcasts as well that are really interesting (lots of listener Q&A, etc.) I'd suggest going through the articles on his website muscleforlife and also the Legion Athletics blog (LA is his supplement company). Overall, I really like his stuff and I've looked into a lot of different things. He doesn't do typical supplement company bull****. I have also bought a few of the supplements and I really like his approach with using only ingredients that have been proven clinically effective and including them in effective doses. Eat this level of protein, this level of fats, and the rest carbs such that your total calories is 20% less than TDEE. I find the 5 day split to be manageable from a timing standpoint while still allowing me some time to do intervals (full disclosure: I drop the abs/calf stuff) and I'm not having any recovery issues.įrom a nutritional standpoint, I like that he doesn't have any gimmick-y bull****. The strength along programs (things like Stronglifts) tended to wear me out on top of some of the endurance training I am also doing. I don't know how Thinner Leaner Stronger difers, but if you know Excel, you might try to build your own worksheet for day to day tracking. I found a site with the programming translated into Excel which I can use on my phone so I use that in the gym and then transcribe it into the book each week. Yeah, I've been doing the male version of it (Bigger Leaner Stronger) and I have the tracking book as well (Year One Challenge). I also just ordered "New Rules of Lifting For Women" so, am hoping there's more good stuff there.īe prepared.I may be stopping in here for TONS of questions as I do this *****.because 's all new to me! So I'm wondering.if any of you have used his programs (he's got one for women and one for men), but.if you know anything about him or his ideas.what are your thoughts? ![]() I bought these two books by Michael Matthews: "Thinner Leaner Stronger" and the accompanying book with the full workout routine: "The Year One Challenge." Now jump ahead.I've decided that I want to start lifting heavier and incorporate more dead lifts, barbell squats and such to my routine. the resistance machines, so this feels more like home to me, and what I should be doing. I've always been one for using the dumbbells and barbells vs. Just.not a good vibe there, so I found a real gym with real barbells and squat racks and all the fun stuff. I signed up at PF, and found it utterly boring, and not at all what I like in a gym. Since then, I'm down ALMOST 20lbs, and am starting to feel much better. So, a few months ago I decided to get off my arse, start eating better, and drag my sorry self back into the gym.
