I wouldn't change my routine 5 weeks out- then again I wouldn't consider a Kris Genthrin program regardless.
If the fats not coming off drop some carbs- every week you should be trying to report a...
Ironically, weight and size don't correlate perfectly- my first show I was squatting a hell of a lot more than my second- and one thing I thought looked a lot better from my second show was my legs. ...
gotta point out that it really depends on how these lifts are completed, high bar v low bar, stance width, upper body upright vs forward lean, is your knee behind even with or ahead of your foot as...
hope this Engram kid can be the playmaker the Giants apparently think he can be.. Speed is great, but I still think the positional mismatch advantage for a TE is an athletic big body- Engram is only...
a 1month attempt is like a 4th grader picking up a calculus book and not being able to pass the test in a week- no surprise- you havnt put in the time to learn proper technique and likely you havnt...
As what I think Garage Rat was implying, this isn't wrong or right- its a matter of what your intent is and if its the right thing for your goals..
(generalization but typically correct- most...
I know a lot of people who like to stick with the same thing throughout, as mel mentions to track progress.
For me this would be hypocritical as I use a lot of variation, the frequent change has...
so your banging out 3 more reps with the same weight you were using at a lower rep range- that's a good thing..
Yea as you push yourself, things will get harder that's expected, if its easy your...
I love higher reps- my normal squat rep scheme is 20-15-12-10-8 or 20-15-12-8D8 (the 25 is too high for me to even consider a 20 rep pushes test my endurance to the max and prolly the breaking point...
think you have to consider the relationship between simplicity and volume requirements.
Less volume- more simple
more volume- you have the flexibility to be more complex
FOR THE BEGINNERS- more...
what your seeing is fat loss (physical change- we all look more muscular with less fat- unless were talking Christian Bale in the Machinest) and neurological adaption
48 sets in a session is...
First thing standing out is energy and/or lack of intensity as well as wasted time.
I'm usually hitting the wall by the 5th lift- that's fine if your 90% done but your less than half way done- only...
I call this a powersquat at least for recording purposes - the mechanics of the machine, the angle make the weight easier to move- don't compare to squat otherwise I would be squatting 765 lbs for...
I personally would stick to a typical HIIT (sprint intervals via running or biking) and/or LISS sessions (I use a combo of both).. but this is just me, honestly it depends on the individual in terms...
for the newer lifter - beginner/intermediate, I side with the no need. because of the large amount of indirect stimuli the muscle receives and the size or lack there of, I think your absolutely fine...
I agree with above not being a fan of a split, seeing back and legs together makes me cringe - these two muscle groups have the highest volume demands and the most taxing on the body..
Remember...
