Really cool routine that requires three days of lifting per week (mon, wed, fri) and involves a couple warm-up sets per body part and then doing just ONE working set to 100% physical failure by about the 6-7th rep. The rationale of training only mon, wed, fri stems from the idea that the nervous system takes about 24 hours to recover after such high intensity workouts and only after that point do the muscles begin to recover/grow/adapt. This is to hopefully promote maximum growth and strength. Its a new thing that I've read alot about and it sounds like a good (though tough) change for myself. Not doing it on any gear... Just using Kre-Alkalyn, Glutamine, Animal Paks, Protein Isolates and Casseine, Fish and Flaxseed Oil. Should be starting this routine in a couple weeks. I'm going to be lifting 3 weeks and then take one week off completely. Then pick back up. Gonna repeat that process about 3-5 times and hopefully put on at least 10-15 pounds of muscle (and some fat naturally) and then head into about a 4-6 week cutting program... Looking forward to it!
Best wishes in all your efforts! |
Sounds like your doing a good job. Glad you know you sups, I hate how everyone gets concentrate and acts like its a good thing...haha
Anyway I do basic Heavy lifting with Plyos mixed in I think it has been the best for me but everyones muscle tissue acts differently to different workouts. I like to put plyos in because it makes my body stronger and my gains are faster but sense that kinda workout is hard on the body you gotta watch your self. As we all know it is all about the form of your movement.
