bean how do you know it doesn't work??? YOur too busy doing multiple mid range rep sets. I didn't say do your workout in 20 minutes YOU ADD EXCERCISES DUDE! Thats the point. You move on you don't stick around and fatigue yourself pointelessly on one excercise. Your muscles get the point real soon and thats why you move on. You should aim for at least 5 excercises on a upper body day, i have been doing that lately and in my last workout i was out in 40 minutes Of course i did that one extra short because ive been slightly overtraining lately but my future workouts are still gonna be no more then 50 minutes.
5 exercises when i'm off androgens per day per bodypart? if i did 5 exercises of different bodyparts i'd only need to work out twice a week
dude thats crazy...
multiple mid range rep sets? HELL YES i did because i was going for strength... and i did pretty damn good with 2 reps of 180lbs up from 1 rep of 155...
you think muscles get fatigued differently when you just do different exercises per bodypart? they still get fatigued either way
name another compound exercise that hits the same muscles as the bench press does... you can't... and you're telling me to do 2 sets? please... thats nowhere near enough.... quote all the research you want; thats not enough training...
i hit 4 exercises on chest day
flat press 4 sets 8-10 reps
incline press 3 sets 8-10 reps
skullcrushers 3 sets 8-10 reps
crunches 4 sets 8-10 reps
this is perfectly fine for me... it hits my compound exercise and then does some assistance work... i'm still making gains with it even off androgens for only 3 weeks
and i still think you need to do some leg work... if you did 2 sets of squats like you've been saying you might be able to maintain... that still wouldn't even phase me... i've been thinking of upping my 4 sets of squats to 5 sets
i'd also like to know where you came up with the fucked up idea of 1-2 sets for hardgainers?
