how's that sauce doing for ya

[mesmorph78]

the only sauce i like is ketchup...

goes great with my rice and peas and chicken...
yes.. but if ur talkin steroids....
no...
i have never.. and will never....
i dont even belive in supplements..
i have been treated to protein shakes by various people i train with after a session...
thats as far as it goes

[Bast175]

i dont even belive in supplements..

They exist!!!

...

High volume is working for you but I do better doing much fewer sets.

[mesmorph78]

a lot of people believe in low volume trainin because they cant hack high volumn training... as well as in truth some make better gains that way...
...

me i want to feel that muscle hurtin the next day....
high volumn trainin i find gives u "QUALITY" muscle high probaby keeps keeps me lean as well tho i have always been lean..
low volumn trainin does zilch for me...

Well I used to do high volume training but I would get to sticking points too often.

Also my joints would get damaged (tendinitis) every so often.  With less sets this doesn't happen and I am making gains faster.

It's working for you so that's all good.

[mesmorph78]

@bast
For could be a factor in you getting tendonitis...not actually high volum trainin...
i only het each body part once every week so when i hit it... i have to destroy it.... not only do i get musclular gains... but... strength... and lots of stamina... i train lots of people into the ground... cause i can keep goin on.. and on...
...
give me an exapmle of what u would classify as a low volum session...
for say tri's

[candidate2025]

aahhh right then.

great chest+ traps.    makes for a great beach body.   

[Bast175]

give me an exapmle of what u would classify as a low volum session...
for say tri's

Here's what I do for tris:

Overhead Standing Barbell extensions:  2 warm up sets,  2 heavy sets to failure (I did 135lbs for 9 reps yesterday for the heaviest set)

Weighed Dips:  1 set 90lbs to failure, 5-6 reps maybe

1 arm dumbell extensions with 50lbs dumbell.  (5 reps)

That's it.

[candidate2025]

on preacher curls let our arms go al the way down...the pad in your armpit.   dont rock either. makes for a better contraction + shape.       youlll need to use lighter weight on it .

[mesmorph78]

no i vary how i do preacher i can pste another clip of me doin them like u said .... with my head down and the bar goin over my head.. on that particular day i was nusrin an injury .. my left arm.. that is not heavy weight to me.. on preachers

24 Sets.  How many are warm up, any?

[Bast175]

Also, Meso.  I train each muscle every 4 days, not every 7 as you do.

[mesmorph78]

1 warm up... pressdowns and cable curls supersetted...
..yes i pyramid up in weight ...

all sets to failure...
..

whats ur split... that allows you to train each group every 4 days?

[Bast175]

Legs and Shoulders, calves

Back, biceps, calves

Chest and Triceps.


3 day split,  and I'll train 4-5 days a week.  (sometimes It may be 5 days between training the same muscle)

[mesmorph78]

i used to group bodyparts like that....

but now for eg when i do legs.. there is no way im gonna do shoulders after....
all i want to do after is throw up...

but ocassionally like maybe once a month i will work tris with chest and back with bis..
but usually arms has its own day..

[candidate2025]

Legs and Shoulders, calves

Back, biceps, calves

Chest and Triceps.


3 day split,  and I'll train 4-5 days a week.  (sometimes It may be 5 days between training the same muscle)

why not rain more often ...say every day...and have smaller groupings.   that way they get hit the same amount pre day, but you will hvae more energy to hit the muscles when you do.

my split right now is five day repeating no rest days.....consisting of          legs,  chest and hams, arms, shoulders and traps, back.

[mesmorph78]

Yea I used to do that same split.  It definately works, but what I'm doing now if working better for me personally.

[mesmorph78]

you hit calves 2 times a week
... weak spot?

[Bast175]

Yea calves are a weak spot but they're getting better training with low reps.
