A lot of people don't like to believe me that things like total body training, upper/lower splits, push/pull or olympic lifting routines can make you grow. Most people are so afraid that their arms will shrivel up if they don't train one body part a day. I think a grow better on one of the routines I listed above. The only reason I am going back to body parts for the next four weeks is to mix it up and doing something different. I will still do cleans throuhg out these next four weeks though. Nothing makes my traps grow bigger than cleans. |
Great, looking forward to following along and I'm sure I'll get some great ideas for what to do for my program. Good luck man.

You're right, without being able to see it (even for myself) it's very difficult to describe or even evaluate it. |

I'm focusing my best to explode at the hips...I don't reverse curl it, I guess it'd be closer to a shrug You're right, without being able to see it (even for myself) it's very difficult to describe or even evaluate it. I think I'll just drop the weigh to 180 or so and exaggerate the form. |

The method seems to be working. Thanks for all your assistance. |

No - what I said was - You need to "Load up" on Redline (kinda like creatine) before your first workout. Drink the whole bottle Roughly 100 ml. You'll definately feel good

But, lol......I did drink one whole bottle on the way to gold's gym in the cab. Jake sat there and laughed at me as I sweat bullets. Constatly egging me on..."c'mon, you aren't done yet. drink the whole thing." I think the s.o.b. was trying to kill me. |

He hasn't trained with me in a few weeks becasue as of late I have really gone mad and turned things up. I think it has to do with my new depression........i get down and then I get nuts in the gym.

What kind of protein do you use? Did you try any samples from the expo? PEEPS DO NOT USE THE CHOC PROTEIN IN THE TINY WHITE PACK FROM THE EXPO. IT TASTES GOOD BUT MADE ME SICK LATER. I think it was the aspertame |

Who cares how good you look if you get out of breathe walking a flight of stairs? (train cadiovascularly). I am training for the long haul, not just to compete. I want to be in shape overal, strong, fast, good endurance, big and have a decently low BF%.

The difference is that the naturually lean mass matrix has half the calories and half the protein as the lean mass matrix. Go with the natually lean one for your body type as it contains like 20-22g of protein per packet. throw some fat in there (it is low in fat) like flax, natty pb or some nuts and you have a meal.

I was really happy with todays workout. It felt great to hit 220. I didn't think is was going to go up because when I go to about eye level I kind of got stuck for a second. But my training partener jsut kept yelling "c'mon, lock it out, lock it out" and then I did!! It felt awesome. I can't waite to hit 2 plates. |
