The great training advice thread.

[evandatp]

Oh wikipedia! Is that only training "theory" on that site?

FYI. Sports performance training and maximum muscle building training are not the same thing.

No shit Sherlock. Where did you confuse two in my post?

Here is that quote again: Periodization is an organized approach to training that involves progressive cycling of various aspects of a training program during a specific period of time...

Just like a golfer would not use the same training concepts as a bodybuilder but I'm sure you can find a golfer "scientifically proven" theroy on there too.

So, you think that a natural bodybuilder can give their max effort in the gym 7 days a week, for 12 months in a year & make nothing but gains in size & strength.

On the other hand, I would say they need to cycle the poundages/volume & take 7-10 days off every 6-8 weeks. That's periodisation.

Read more carefully next time.

So tell me. What exactly does cycling your poundage do to build muscle? Now, be sure that you don't tell me what it does NOT do (sore joints or injuries).

The fact that you had to clarify to a training board mod what 'cycling weights' means shows the level of fundamental exercise ignorance here on getbig.

Seriously you do in fact have anger-management issues in addition to being a pompous jackass. Your naivete in suggesting that your problems couldn't possibly be obvious on a message board indicates a distinct lack of self-awareness. I mean you're just spewing the venom every which way thanx to your baggage lol

Cycling is not the correct term, it's periodization. Grow some balls and show up on the training board, otherwise STFU you beligerent POS.

Hope this helps.

They're not interchangable like our genius jackass is claiming in fact that's a nice way to confuse the issue you twit.

Just a few things that work for me. Be progressive-increase weights and/or reps as much as possible, whether its 40 lbs or just 1 rep. Both are progress. Stay intense. The harder I train, the better I gain. Use intensity variables- forced reps, negatives, statics, rest pause, omni contractions frequently, but not on every single working set and cycle these. Rest. 3 days a week is enough if I'm busting ass. (Getting definition is different, like now, I'm as active as I can do it- 10+ hours of cardio a week plus training+ posing, etc). Eat well- right now I'm rolling keto. I have to make sure my protein is up when doing this, or I start losing muscle. That's my experiences for the recent past.  I fully realize eveyone will respond differently to these protocols, just putting them out there.

Err.. now just who has the anger management issues here?

Self-appointed, fundamentally ignorant, so-called expert meltdown.

And as for thinking I'd bother posting on a board where a irrational, power-tripping moderator can delete anything that shows him up for Weider-educated parrot he is ...

Cycling is not the correct term, it's periodization.

Right, because that's the definition given in the in the glossary section of your 4 page photocopied Bowflex manual?  Or perhaps you thought that the word of Pumpster was good enough? Your arrogance is shining through here.

Here for the third time in this thread I'll quote: Periodization is an organized approach to training that involves progressive cycling of various aspects of a training program during a specific period of time...

If the above is in response to this:

you're insane & a piss-poor pop psychologist. If not, you'll need explain yourself better.

Hint:You'll look more intelligent if you show your reasoning.
