Full Body Circuit
Saturday, November 7th, 2009What NOT to do if you want muscle!
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009I was approached by a guy today that I’ve know for years and for whatever reason everytime he’s approached me for advice I am either on my way somewhere or he’s in a rush.
There’s always something and it was killing me that I wasnt getting the time to sit down and actually go through his training and eating plan.
He has asked me about individual exercises and other miscellaneous but i never actually structured anything for him.
Lets just say I was not amused by what he had been doing…and he wondering why he was not putting on muscle?!
His programme looked like this CRINGE!!!
Doing each bodypart ONCE per week works for genetically gifted people like bodybuilders and naturally heavy set people. .
People who have average genetics (you and I) have to think outside the box!
Once a week training = one chance per week to grow!
12 weeks on. . you only had 12 chances to grow!
Absolutely NAILING the bodypart is counterproductive too as you body will not fully recover from it. .
If you train each bodypart (in a different manner) 3 times per week you are hitting it from all angles separately and maximally. . more growth. .no overtraining. . .
36 chances to grow/adapt in 12 weeks presto. . 3x the progress
Check this out… Now this is not a perfect programme by any stretch of the imagination…
I just took the exercises he was doing and rearranged them, discarding the USELESS ones.

Keep in mind i am not completely against bodybuilding training. It works for some people, and works really well!
For the majority of us, however, it is completely counter productive and there are better and more efficient ways of burning fat and gaining muscle.
Sorry about the ‘language’ but I thought it was a good video to share and i have a nice little inarticulate rant :-)
Let me know your thoughts in the comment section
