To each their own. From my bro-logic id rather hit each main body group as many times as I can in a week without frying my CNS. I do one hypertrophy day and 1 power/strength day. To each there own but if you havent tried it i suggest giving it a spin.
I beg to differ. Your legs get accustomed to it. When I did a bro split I thought the same thing. Personally I hit everything 2xweek now and my legs are always less sore than when I did them 1xweek (about the same volume per workout too).
Its funny how some of these splits have have more upper body than lower body days. That sounds great if you already have monsterous legs but horrible if you are built like a flamingo.
Maybe I need to retest my max. Throw on an extra 90 from what my max triple is. Never had the balls to throw on that much extra weight from what I train with.
What does your ROM look like when your maxing out? I know I can throw on a ton of weight for a wicked quarter squat. Have someone or yourself take a video of you doing your sets of 6 and your 1 rep max. Just a thought.
Lots of calories, specifically concentrated in carbs, in a short time will make your muscles full as hell. Keep gaining 3/4 of a pound a week and by June you'll just be a lard monster.
Any natty guys ever do up to a set of 50 for squat for a couple weeks? Heard some talk of it being good for breaking pleatues but I'm afraid of wasting my time and end up just lifting weights as cardio. Or that DTP training? Which sounds like a good plan if your on a cycle. Just wanted to get...
I'm glad you guys all posted. Sometimes I read the responses on here and think I'm going crazy. With all the available research out there and access to it I wonder how the bro-science still gets by. If I want a good laugh I go to BB.com but here I get legit info usually.
Dom is the man!
On another note, here is Layne Norton's opinion on the pump:
MP: Do you believe that the muscle pump is the single best indication of a good workout or is actual fatigue the trigger to muscle growth?

LN:* There are many many MANY different factors that influence muscle growth...
Soooo not true. No matter how much science or how many pumps you get your genetics or gear will never allow you to obtain the physique of Arnold. Everyone has to dream I guess.
