couple quick updates. gym is still retarded hot and almost unbearable to train in. i was ready to puke the whole work out so the pace was very slow. i saw some people that i hadnt seen since i started dieting and they are already seeing the huge changes. face is sinking in already and legs are hardening up like crazy.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

keep the pace bro. i usually hit tri's w/chest and bi's with back but starting this week i'm gonna try bi's w/chest and tri's w/back and will continue this for the next 4-6 weeks to a. get a feel for it and see how i like it and b. at the least shock my muscles if i don't like it. after my chest workout i had my bi's on fire something awful. it was nice. some things work better for some than it does others that's why i wanna incorporate the change for at least the 4-6 weeks

that will work man. thing is, if arms are a weak point and you arent pressed for time then you can and should give them their own day. now if you need to work body parts together you will find most of the time that you will get better results from say chest or delts with bis and back with tris. this will give you a fresh muscle that was only somewhat stimulated and it is primed for training. this split i am running now is a bleed off from last year working with someone that trains and is a top pro. now what i normally do and i will start back doing next off season and prep is:
mond chest/calves
tues back/abs
weds traps/delts/calves
thursday quads
friday arms/abs
sat hams
sunday off.
i will normally combine hams/quads every other wk for an extra day off to recover better. you notice how the setup works push pull push legs arms. this gives the smaller muscles in the arms a little break before hitting them again. also gives the tris a rest between chest and delts

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

thanks for the advice. your saying if i have the time to do chest/back by themselves on separate days and arms together on the same day then to maximise on growth? normally i do 5 exercises for my major and 3 for my minor (3 sets each except 1st exercise i throw in a warm-up set) but if i can switch to this how many exercises wd you recommend and sets wd you recommend for my chest or back days and how many exercises and sets for arms?

yeah, i was saying if you can train 5 days a wk or 6 thats a good way to maximize growth. giving major muscles their own day and hitting arms on their own day. best that i have found is a total of 16-24 sets for chest delts back and legs. then 8-12 sets for bis and around the same for tris. you can keep say bis at 8 if they are dominate and tris a little higher or vice versa. that is what i normally use for myself and for the clients that i have worked with. you can go a little higher set wise on back and legs but you have to go off of energy and feel. not an excuse to be lazy but you know the feeling when you killed it in 12 sets or so and are ready to eat

beat the fatties in today. funny thing is one of the skinny fat guys got on next to me, sprawled all out on the bars holding on and got tossed off. i didnt even look over at him or acknowledge that i saw his stupidity or waste of time. he was literally holding himself up with his shoulders and arms with his legs just going through the motion. i guess his arms got tired 2 minutes in and his legs couldnt keep up so it slammed him into the floor. good really am funny story and sight right there

so my wife announces to me yesterday that our cardio is going up to 30 minutes next wk. i said oh yeah really, would that be a good idea considering that we are still about 16wks out from the first show and will be doing this until the middle of july? i just got the fml look out of her and the good point response
