Generally work a bodypart once a week. How you divide it up is really up to you. Normally train 4 to 5 times a week.

Digusted said more than once his training philosophy

for example, while everybody here was saying Vince Taylor trains like a fucking pussy, Jim said VT was probably one of the only guy training right (hence no injuries even after a long career)

I tend to agree

Yep, I've seen  them all and while it looks cool to throw around big weight in the end by the time you are 45 you are a complete mess of injuries. Extreme size comes from hormones anyway so why not enjoy training till you are old.

I like anywhere from 8 to 12 on average, but tend to stay around 12. I love to do high reps on legs on occasion 50 to 100 reps just for fun. I can get by with 10 sets for arms and 12 or slightly more for larger parts. I move pretty quick too. One thing you will notice is that if you rest just even 10 seconds more you are going to be a lot stronger the next set.

I can't help but overtrain, I am addicted to the pump, I've gone into the gym and told myself I'm only doing some exercises because I hurt myself, by the end I'm going to failure on everything, it's like when ur really drunk with some sloppy woman and you know your erection wont last through a condom, so you just say fuck it and raw dog that filthy sack of desease ridden flesh

thanks man.

i train that way too these days. no more super heavy and slow....although i cycle heavier periods with lighter periods.

by keeping the rest periods short...you keep the muscle activated....

q3: what do you do for lagging muscle groups? 2x/week?

Unfortunately a lagging BP is always going to be that, BUT you can train it more often and this will to a degree help. There are alot of theories out there about improving them like site injections etc but none are really long lasting.

 I live supersets I think giant sets are just a little too much. I think that you tend to run out of breath before you can do any damage to the muscle you are training.

yeah, they can also be kinda difficult to do in a busy gym (giant sets).

Should reps be kept smooth or do you grind out to failure at the end of a set?

Do you ramp up the weight each set or do multiple sets with the same weight?

What about training each bodypart twice a week, i feel once a week is not enough.

I just got a PM. Yes I also train people and I have done alot of reading when it comes to training and nutrition but  this thread is about disgusted's thoughts about training (not mine). If someone has been in the game for 30 years..then I'm willing to listen.
