Wow, Mono, I really don't like that plan at all. But if it works for you.

I figured you wouldnt. Got any links you can throw at me? I'm retarded when it comes to training science. I'd give TPPT a go, but the time involved and the planning needed week to week really wont jive with my current schedule.

Ok, quick rewrite. I'm gonna give Lyle's writeup on periodization a shot.

I'm gonna use more or less the carbon copy of the routine he cited in his article, with chest/back, legs/abs, off, shoulders/arms, off, repeat. I hate it when routines dont match up with the 7 day week, but i'll see how it goes.

My thanks to TP for inciting this 12th hour rewrite. You better like it, too, since im going to the gym after i hit "post reply."

Better.

But even a simple routine, if that is all you desired, could be better constructed than your original plan.

details, or a link would be good. for the retarded, aka me.

Yeah, thats what i had originally envisioned... since my schedule (yes, i feel the need to mention it again) blows the fat beefpole.

But after rereading Lyle's shit, ive kind of taken a liking to it, even if it is a royal pain in the ass to set up initially. I think i'll give it a shot, though. I did a lyle-style workout yesterday, and i enjoyed it (even though it took 2 hours (good excuse for a sugary shake throughout, though)). The one problem is that i may not have time for it, e.g. today im not gonna be able to get into the gym.

I appreciate your comments, btw.

Well, the goddamn site doesnt want to work for me again... but just go to the magazine section at Avant. Lyle wrote 3 articles entitled "Periodization for the Bodybuilder" over the past 6 months or so. He was supposed to write a fourth, but apparently he hates to make deadlines.

haha, theyll get up here in a bit. I may even pull a monstar and just start a new journal, seeing as how this one has gotten off to a rocky start.

And what's PM's journal about? Taste testing icecream for Ben&Jerry's?

Pull a Monstar lmao

o yeah goddit. but - what specifically from this are you following, he outlines various rep ranges and all that 3 up 2 down nonsense for different training goals. sorry make that 'intensity zones'.
