Stripped Down Hypertrophy

[burke]

Just curious at to what your thoughts are on this Stripped Down Hypertrophy program. It's something I sure havn't seen before, it's full body training 5 times a week! He talks about you won't overtrain etc etc. I just wanna know what you guys think of this because it somewhat grabbed my interest for my next program.

I don't know if I really like the idea of doing full body 2 days in a row though... doesn't make much sense..

isnt it pretty low volume?

3 exercises, 3 sets each?

its also being done by people with great genes, taking alot of supplements and steroids. it could lead to good temporary gains over 2 weeks or a month but after that you would blow away in the breeze.

I've done a high freaquency high colume routine by Joel Marion with great results. Yes you will have to have your diet in order and get plenty of rest but I have far from great genetics and added alot of weight.

just eat and sleep alot, too many people worry bout overtraining and not enough about going to bed early and eating enough

For an 18 year old, that was a very mature and bold statement. I agree with you completely. I'm 22 and I can admit that my rest sucks. I need to start getting to bed early. I bet my gains would be better if I did.

I might have to try this program... I just never see anyone on here advocating anything like this..

[Ochman44]

I would think if you wanna do this. You would need to do something like sunday, monday on, tuesday off, wednesday thursday on, friday off, saturday, sunday on, monday off. And keeping deadlift days and back squat days far away from each other lol. It may be worth trying, and going to failure on anything would probably be a no no.

just follow what the program says and has to offer, dont try to mess around with anything, if its laid out like that, its laid out like that for a reason, its a proven program by a pro trainer, eat,sleep,train, and grow

Sounds like a maintance workout to me.

I'm actually thinking about starting that program in a couple weeks after a deload.

Looks ok. If you are well conditioned you won't over train lifting like that; there isn't enough volume on each muscle group. Wouldn't recommend this for a newbie though, have you seen a newbie try to walk (or use the john) after heavy squatting the next day? LOL

One thing I will say is that although he has included pulling movements from over head and in front, he has failed to include any wide grip pulling movements, essential for targeting the mid traps and surrounding muscles. Complete ignorance of this type of movement leads to poor posture (due to the partial internal rotation caused by tighter pecs and lats; the gorilla look).

Otherwise, if you go balls out on each set and your diet is in check, you should make gains training like this. Oh and of course, when working your entire body 5 out of seven days to a high intensity, 8 hours a night is a must IMHO.
