Thread: Set Schedule Vs Spontaneous

I'm defintely a believer in a set schedule. Without it, you're more likely to overtrain body parts you like working...while undertraining the ones you dont like as much. I think I'd quickly lose track of what I worked and when.

Off course they need to set their workouts, but then again it all depends how serious they are in gaining real muscle mass. If they just want to do this for fun out of being bored, in that case they might not even want to reconsider changing it. However if they trully want to be serious about this, then they should not do any group of muscles more than once per week (except for maybe abs and calves)
Just my .02 cents.

Yea I do abs every other day. Is that ok?

I remember reading they repair very fast.

Every other day sounds good. I used to do abs almost every training for a little bit but then again it's just me. You need to watch your diet and aim to lower your body fat as much as possible. By doing this your abs will become much more visible. ( even without too much training)

Thanks.

I've been cutting for the past three weeks and lost 7lbs which I dont think is too bad.

Your buddies sound like the same guys playing grabass at my gym. They never look any different from year to year. Just come in to get bicep pump before they go out looking for girls. lol

HAHAHA BUSTIN!!!!

They think I'm as ass because I say to them "if you guys are just gonna sit around and BS, do in the stretching room. Not where the work is being done". lol

these guys are amusing till they are getting in your way... they are throwing up weight that's way too heavy, they aren't even using the right muscles just swinging shit around... then flexing in the mirrors... HAHAHA...

I havent been reading the post's so im just going to try to answer to question :

Set Schedule Vs Spontaneous? Both.. Be Spontaneous, every few weeks but using a set schedule. ( i.e. GoPro's Schedule, Periodization... etc. )

plouffe: What do oyu mean by that?

It is suggested that you do not use instinctive training until you have been doing things for a few years and know what you are doing.

i still use instinctive training. everytime i train, i use different order, exercizes, sets, reps, pace etc.

keep the body guessin and there's no way it'll adapt and slow growth....
