Hey Max, would you advocate this type of training for the drug free bbr? (2x a week)? or would you go with the current popular method (1x per week- bodypart)?
Yes as I-one said I would recommend it with a slight variation. No I do not like nor have I ever thrived on 1X a week per body-part. I turned into a pile of shit training like that (a pair-shaped old man to be accurate-those days are long gone glad to say). When I returned back to my old standard so did my physique. I had 30 people approach me at the gym asking how I trained, ate etc.
The variation would be training body-parts 2 times in 8 days. Either do a 3 day on 1 day off, 2 on 1 off (Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat) OR a 4 day a week routine (Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri) but split the body 3 ways (Chest/Back, shoulder arm, legs) and just keep following the split on the training days. This give a little more recovery than how we trained with Rory or Danny but still keeps the volume and frequency high. Is that clear?
I also thive on training FAST with little or no rest and supersets. I get bigger, stronger and leaner. It's difficult for about 3 weeks and then you adapt. When I hit a set, I'm still recovering from the last one. You have to take on a mindset like it doesn't matter. Just keep pushing yourself. Focus on your goal and let nothing stop you. It's an entirely different type of intensity than Jones and Mentzer preached. It's intensity over multiple sets vs one set.
Also training drug-free you HAVE to keep the diet consistent, 6 meals, enough protein carbs and fats. And you HAVE to do regular cardio but don’t over do it. By the way, I NEVER di cardio in the gym. I do mine on the street, walking, biking, stairs etc. Why do it in the gym (unless it's snowing or raining) when you can have fun doing it. Gym cardio is boring as hell.
