The BAST principles!!
« on: January 04, 2007, 07:30:50 PM »
For you people pm-ing me and asking:

For most sets I do a drop set after.   for instance 12-15 reps to failure, then immediately take half the weight you just used and go to failure again.   I do mostly high reps to avoid tendinitis.   I will usually do just 1-2 sets thats' below 10 reps to failure.   Then I use light-moderate weight and do reps with very slow negatives, like 3-7 seconds at the end.

Sometimes I do 2 drop sets after the initial heavier set.  that can sting a bit.

Leg extensions have improved my quads WAY more than leg press or squat.  I do mostly leg extensions and leg curls now, and my legs are improving faster than before.   I tore ligaments squatting a few years ago.

Chest I am focusing on pec deck and flys.  Bench Press I only use a Machine, and use moderate weight.  Again to avoid joint injury.  People think that the exercises you use less weight on (ex: flys for chest) are the least effective.  I believe they are the most effective.  They are best at putting all the weight on the muscle worked, to damage the muscle and to avoid injury.

Dieting:  I eat high carbs, low- moderate fat, and just get 100g protein a day.  (I will eat anything as long as I know the calories the food has, which I know most everything, even fast food items.) I get under 2000 calories.   I play soccer 2 times a week, 1-2.5 hours, and bike in the gym for 15-45 minutes the other days.

I use ephedra and caffeine later in the diet when my energy drops.    I believe losing muscle is difficult when you are training.   I am not paranoid of that and don't think I ever lost significant muscle while training and dieting.

Did you build your muscle by doing high reps... or did you start doing high reps after you had already achieved your bulk?
Intensity; the measure of man

bast, how often/much do you drink and does it affect your progress?
