Its the last line. It basically says "okay, I'll take what help I can get but you sound like you're pulling this stuff out of your ass so if anyone has a better idea give it to me." At least that's how I read it.

And, good idea. We definitely need to get back to the training portion. In fact, I think it would be a great thing for you to stop stressing so much on the training anymore and just do it. That was a big mistake for myself and many other people. We get obsessed with the details and it really becomes detrimental to do so.

Good luck with the trianing bud.

if anything it was a 'can you please explain the reasoning behind this training so i can fully understand rather than randomly take something off the internet like a dumbass'

i was just curios about the limited numbers of sets, exercises, etc.

you're 15 6'1 148 lbs, i know girls that are bigger than that. basically you are a string bean, getting bigger and stronger should be your #1 priority and this routine will do it for you, any more explination needed?

Okay, sure. we all know that between 6-12 reps or so is good for hypertrophy, 1-5 for strength, etc. We've got studies to prove that by now.

Now, a great way to get big is to lift heavy weights for those reps, right? If you build up a good strength base, you can lift heavier weights for more reps right? So...who do you think will get bigger: the kid who focus' on trainign like a bodybuilder with little weight or one who starts out training for strength and then switches over later? Let me give you a clue. The kid who got strong will be able to do more reps with more weight by virtue of the strength difference. I see his muscles responding more favorably.

nope u basically wrapped it up just a few more questions

for warm up sets, for example on bench,
i would do 1 LIGHT set of five (not reaching failure on any warm up set),
1 LIGHT set of 3,
1 LIGHT set of 1
1 LIGHT set of 1
then start the workout?

and am i supposed to reach failure on working sets?

and how did u say to bench to make it less stressful on the RC?
lost the info

[khan8]

and do u guys just like bring a pencil and a notepad with u to the gym and write the weight down after each set?

thanks

start saving your emails because i'm starting to answer the same questions 3 times now. yes do that as a warm up. on core movements have the last rep be a real grinder and everything else have a couple reps left in you.

he's only 15 so he's getting some slack, but that slack is almost up

[khan8]

for good mornings, sldl, and rope cable pull throughs, i should have a slight bend in the knees with a arched or flat back (not rounded forward) and head facing forward (not down) right?

[Ziricote]

if you google the exercise you'll find pictures of how to do them khan.

[khan8]

well it says straight leg recruits lower back and knees bent rerfuits hammies

[Ziricote]

Barbell Good-morning
Straight legs, back straight/slightly backwards. Generally speaking you don't want your back to arch forward for any exercise so stick with either straight or slightly arched backward.

scroll down to number 8 and it says "Doing 20 to 30 reps of abs is like benching 225 for 20 reps, it’s not going to make you stronger"

-should i still do reps of 20 for abs?
