Working muscles Twice a week is a very good thing, especially if natural.  Naturals need to work out much more than juicers to really get results.

I do everything twice a week.  3 days hypertrophy specific and 2 days Heavy for Power.  Like this:

1.Back and Shoulders Hyper
2.Lower body Hyper
3.Chest and Arms Hyper
4. off
5. Upper Body Power Day-Includes Arms
6. Lower Body Power Day
7.off

Naturals need to work out 3 times as hard.   I'm talking 2 hour long workouts, 3 times a day, 7 days a week.  60 sets per bodypart.   Also be sure to load up on lots of squirrel eggs and bee pollen.   That's the key.    ;D

Natural do need to work out much harder than Juicers for any appreciable results.  Juicers don`t have to do near as much.  Its the sad truth.  :-\

Truthfully, yes.  Somebody on drugs can grow just racking the weights for other people.

Thank you Adonis, I've done something similar in the past but didn't stick with it.  I'm going to give this another shot!  8)

What exactly does hypertrophy specific mean?  High intensity?  ???

I do the exact same. You get this from Layne Norton's PHAT program? It's almost identical.

man, if you arent a amateur/professional athlete or entering a bbing show for a plastic trophy, 3 days plus 1-2 days cardio is fine.  i only did 5 days a week when i was off season football.

My philosophy for lagging body parts has always been to CRUSH them every day that they are NOT sore. Most of the time that's twice a week for me, occasionally I can get a 3rd in, depending on body part. I see no reason why this method is faulty.

not a win. work them effectively once a week. make them a priority obviously, but not twice a week. and back off on your first responder muscles. just maintain them.

2x week ia good, i never hit a muscle less than that. You can do calves 3x easily, though i wouldnt expect a drastic differencr because of its inherent genetic limitation.

A power/hypertrophy routine is good as Gaydonis posted, or a progeesive loading scheme like HST.
follow the arrows

Prob true. Juicers don't HAVE to do near as much. But some actually work out just as hard as naturals AND they are on juice.

train it again when its not sore anymore and feels somewhat "full",as in, you get good pump after bit flexing.


Yup. If you've been lifting long enough and are in tune with your body, you know when a bodypart is ready to get hit again

Agreed. It's always the the guys who have juiced since Jump street who can now sit back and relax that say less is better.
