Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman

How do these people do it and still get big while taking roids. I mean like Arnold went high volume while Dorian on roids goes low and still makes awesome gains. My friend is on sustenol and is working out low intensity. Should he be working our HIT with alot of volume to reap the benefits of the steroid.

[Kutulus]

i don't think volume is that big of a deal...

it is the increase in strength and weight your able to pull which determines your size. Intensity is what produces this, not volume...

[str8flexed]

That is true. Actually the lower the volume, usually the higher the intensity.

Some things work better for some than others, the key is having a good diet and then finding what works for you

[Ice Man]

That's right but one thing that you need to realize is that intensity is always important. When you get to a certain level the only way you would gain is intensify your work out.

Juse see what works for him switch it up some and see what works

u have any proof thats it the only way?


ppl have always wanted a black & white answers. its either this or its that. nuthin in life is like this. there are many variables involved, all of which have useful, valid ranges that cannot be extrapolated to the nth degree.

Just as no two snowflakes are alike (okay, ghey analogy), no two guys will respond exactly the same way to the same training protocol. With Yates and Coleman, both of them had outstanding genetics, and of course, both were juicing up the yin-yang.

Yates used fairly low-volume; Coleman used medium/high volume, and both grew, which just goes to show that great genes AND steroids make a body big. Look around the gyms; lots of guys use juice, yet they'll never get as big as either one of those guys, in spite of their drug usage. You gotta have the genes to get big, and have the mindset to take it to the limit, which is exactly what they did.

Intensity, volume, and frequency are the most difficult to predict for anyone, and it also comes down to doing what you're most comfortable with. If Coleman had been forced to use low volume and high-intensity as Yates did, he'd probably have given up. Same deal with Yates; he didn't care for medium to high volume, and if that had been the only way to train, he'd probably have packed it in and quit.

That's why it's so important to analyze closely what works best for you. For the raw beginner, it's best to stick to a tried-and-true programme and once you learn what's best for you, then it doesn't matter what some expert may say. Do what works for you and you alone.

My two yen.
