While we're on this subject, ive been having second thoughts about "bulking" with only 4 days in the gym. Usually ive been doing 5. It seems a little odd to reduce the volume like this... eh.

the whole idea of bulking is adding size. if you are in the gym you are breaking down tissue and expending energy. if you are in the gmy less then you are expending less energy and more of it can go towards growing and remaining in a caloric surplus. Don't be a bitch...bulk and grow young one.

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."

Twin Peak · 09-20-2004, 07:15 PM

Better.

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

carbchick · 09-21-2004, 04:01 AM

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?

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'.
