Nice "worst workout" there. Looks good to me! Any reason why it didn't go so well in ur opinion tho?
Click to expand...

My mind. Each set I just felt like leaving. I had plenty of time and didn't even want to do sprints or anything.
 
atanocc said:
Ehh Happens. Like u said, just arms day ;)

Yeah, got a good pump and blasted my arms too, I just didn't enjoy it at all.
 
Stims probably would've helped too...

Nice seated db curls, Jr!

Thanks Hyde.

I updated the iPhone tonight. We'll see how much I regret it.

I will try and do videos tomorrow...
 
No video today because it turns out there is a two week no-squating in this routine.

If I can figure out how to copy and paste the routine I'll post it up here after my nap. :D

Nap time for me. Never got one yesterday, and I was up until late watching the game, then back up early this morning.

See you guys in a few.

Thanks for your help kenpoengineer. I copied from Jefit in Safari, pasted to Tapatalk, copied again and pasted to notes for the larger text, edited, then copied again and pasted to Tapatalk. Grr.

Also, what's PITA? I'm too old for you young'ns' lingo...
 
Nice leg day! Nap time for me as well. PITA= Pain In The Arse! There has to be a better way to copy JeFit logs!
 
No offense to anyone who follows a routine someone else created but, really? Your not going to do squats because it's not in the routine? What if you feel like doing them? Did you pay for this routine?

Ok, just having a little fun... lol

I guess this is why I follow my own layout. I let my body kind of tell me what to do. Yes, I have set days for muscle groups but the lifts I decide when I walk in the gym.

I remember following Bob Myhals plan back in the 90's, the Ultimate Muscle Mass Program. I followed it for the entire 12 weeks. Afterwards I decided I was better served doing my own. It was a good program but just too many days I thought I should've done more volume, or higher weights.

Oh, looks like you had a killer workout too!

I understand what you're saying. I used to make little tweaks here and there, and still do, but I'm trying not to change up most of his method. I've made great progress with his routines, and I know there are reasons he does what he does.

I used to love making my own routine, and will likely go back to that eventually. I'm learning a lot though with his methodology, and hitting PRs all the time.
 
To never have a plan is stupid. To always only do what is prescribed has it's faults too. The human body ain't black and white.

With that said, more people would be better off following a good program as written. There's a reason why some people who always "go by feel" have been lifting for 10+ years and can't squat/bench/deadlift anything remotely heavy...

Oh, I'm not knocking Meadows, Myhal, or anyone(too many to list) else who has a "proven" routine. Just stirring the pot a little. You are always hitting a PR so it's working and that's what counts.

I am very thankful to have tried the MD routine. I am learning a lot, and I also agree that most would be better served to follow a tried-and-true routine.

Not all though...

I didn't see it that way. L&S is a good guy. Just another opinion.

I know he is. I've been following his log for a long time. Seems very intelligent with a lot of knowledge.
 
To kind of expound upon this topic, it cracks me up all the guys at the gym that give you their opinion, without you asking, about what's the best way to accomplish X goal. Guys with a completely sub-par physique telling you "what they always did to build a mountainous chest". Yeah, I see that's working really well for you.

Young guy that follows a bodybuilding routine tells me how he benched 365 at a 172 bodyweight, he's got it on his phone somewhere, and he can't believe I haven't hit 300 in competition yet following a power routine. This is the same guy who neither squats nor deadlifts, because he's not a powerlifter of course, so these exercises clearly have no value, so he doesn't have any numbers on those, but he uses maybe 6 pps on the legpress *smh*
 
Well, I guess I need to admit I made a slight mistake in my comment.
I got in the closet and found the old Myhal program. I read through it again. It's obvious that I follow his concepts and principles but just altered it to fit me. I'm sure he probably got those principles from someone else over time and just put them in writing. I've been doing "my" routine for so long I guess over time I just accepted it as mine but it isn't. My biggest modification was not doing a light week and not taking a week off after 3 months. I can scan it tomorrow if you are interested(Myhals program).

Interesting! I think deloads/off weeks are necessary, but extremely personal in nature. If you feel like death after 6 wks, back off. If you feel like a boss and the joints are doing well, why take valuable time off?

I think all programs, at least the good ones, really need to be tweaked to account for the individual. Nothing that was ever one-size-fits-all was really the best option, just maybe a solid foundation to work off of.

Id be interested in looking it over if you scan it. Every good gun cabinet needs multiple arms/ammo.
 
I'll email it to you. Curious if there are any similarities....
 
Wouldn't mind reading through that myself Turff, if you wanna email me a copy.

Agree with all of you... no program is a one size fits all that is for sure. From Meadows, I have learnt a variety of new exercises and techniques (bands, chains, etc). Which in the end, will take me a lot further. This fitness journey is all about learning, developing and sharing... in the end just makes us better.

Will do. Should get it scanned around lunch time.
 
Stayed up late watching a movie with the wife, so I opted out of getting up early and potentially having a poor workout.

My hamstrings are very, very sore today. I can't believe I didn't do squats....

Get an exercise bike for the house. About 20 minutes on it, nothing hard or fast, will keep your legs from getting sore. Just like the football players getting on the bike during the game, keeps them stretched and helps on them not being sore.

Huh. It'll negate my DOMs?

I think this is a fantastic idea. May go for a bike ride later.
 
Smart decision! What movie did you watch?
 
I always find the day after legs and I go for my run, to start with they are sore as hell, but the more blood gets flowing the better and it drastically helps the recovery.

Oohh yeah we made the mistake of watching that too...ended with the "ummm ok??!!" Lol Just a very odd movie.

My thoughts exactly. I think they realized the movie was going on forever and decided to make an ending without thinking it through. Lol
