What are you training today??

Light arms...elbow hurts like a guy!

Haha i was thinking that too. When i hit the gym i know exactly what im going to do before i set my foot in the door. I know exactly what weight and reps i need to achieve. Waste of time otherwise... How do u know u r training progressively or even maintaining? Progressive overload is the most important thing in strength training and especially so in bodybuilding too.

Should you have read the original statement, and actually understood, you would realize that it was the one day that I do that. The rest of the time I have everything planned prior to working out in advance.

Much like when Arnold had his parties in the forest, taking a couple hundred pounds of weights and squatting for 6hrs straight or just picking a way to shock a muscle...it's one day a week out of a 5 week microcycle, which is planned. It's just how I decide to provide that shock that varies.

Reading does not always = comprehension of the mind = not GetBig's forte.

Wasting 20% of ur time in the gym then imo. Maybd once a month would be okay.. But once a week...what a waste

Once a week for that body part, and if you really really want to know, it does only apply to once per month.
Training a body part once per week, and with the current routine I use, that works out to be as follows:

Weeks 1-2 is lower reps...4-6.
Week 3 is 8-10, sometimes 10-12
Week 4 is more of what I explained in the original post.
Then repeat...

So, put whatever percentage on it that you would like. Just don't forget, as I'm constantly reminded daily and post by post, that here at GetBig.com we're all 285lbs and 2% body fat year round.
