Reply With QuoteThere you go - you're lifting intensely enough now that you need longer recovery.
Try it. You might find it's enough - if not, you can always try training legs twice a week the way I have it set up in Baby Got Back - basic Ian King arrangement, where the leg days are either "heavy ham, with light quad work" or "heavy quad, with light ham work".
Might be the best of both worlds for you.

I've done all this...
to keep trigger-happy posters from flaming my sorry ass into oblivion.
On a serious note, I have been following Built's basic workout since August with great success. Started out benching around 155 x 6-8 reps and am now at 215 x 6 reps - same type of increases in other lifts as well. I have increased in weight from 165lbs to 182lsd with minimal fat gain. Now the question... I have been reading Martin Berkhan's info and he seems to recommend performing squats and deadlifts only once a week. A sample setup seems to follow the basic principle of deads/weighted chins on monday, bench on tuesday, squats on friday with some accessory exercises following each major lift. So, is Martin's routine sound? Seems a little light give Built's beginning routine to me. However, I have noticed that as I have increased the weight and intensity of my workouts I am fairly washed out by the time I reach the 3rd workout of the week

I go heavy ham and light quad. Heavy quad and light ham. Sometimes just heavy squats(for me lately that's 405) but yea I wouldn't do heavy concentrated work but once a week but work movements twice a week. One heavy one light.
And feel free to put up a quick synopsis of your eating, preferably in grams if you got itBan 2 1/2 's !!!!!!
