I been looking for a new one to come out everyday. I always go back to Gama bomb in between workoutsWeek 6...Bulgarian Split Squats of Fire followed by Leg Extensions of Fire. This was a really great program. One of my favorites so far. Does anyone know if theres another one coming out soon? Might start gamma bomb in the meantime.
Gamma bomb is probably my favorite that I’ve used. Seems to work really well for meI been looking for a new one to come out everyday. I always go back to Gama bomb in between workouts
GB is def the next one I need to get a hold of... ran CD2 first and LOVED it, currently 3/4 of the way through Omega Beam and its good, but not as good as CD2... Also have Colossus but the layout and lack of volume isn't as much my style so I've been putting it off.Gamma bomb is probably my favorite that I’ve used. Seems to work really well for me
Either one is great for that. The main difference is cd2 is a push pull legs split, repeats twice per week. Gamma bomb is a split program focusing on upper body and lower body split into two blocks. First half is upper body pull push legs arms and full upper, the Second half is set up for legs 3 times a week if I remember. I personally think gamma bomb is my favorite, but cd2 was really good as well.Hi guys,please help..i cant choose between gamma bomb-creeping deathv2...my goal is hypertrophy..
I haven't run GB yet (just got a hold of it this week and will be reading through this weekend) but as a big advocate of PPL splits I absolutely LOVED CD2 and would recommend it to anyone that can put in the days/wk.Hi guys,please help..i cant choose between gamma bomb-creeping deathv2...my goal is hypertrophy..
Not familiar with that one, but his workouts I have done so far range from easy one hour to hard two hours. Like his pump sessions are quick, but when he pounds on compound movements on some days it’s hard to do the workout quick. I’m sure me checking to see what exactly I have to do isn’t helping. Hope that at least helps a little.Went ahead and bought project colossus because it was on sale for Labor Day. Read some of it. Won’t be running probably until January. How long do these workouts usually take you guys? Just need to have an idea what to plan for.
I haven’t had anything last 2 hours but 50-75min is pretty typical. Rarely below 45min for sure thoNot familiar with that one, but his workouts I have done so far range from easy one hour to hard two hours.

Same. Usually an hour to an hour and a half.I haven’t had anything last 2 hours but 50-75min is pretty typical. Rarely below 45min for sure tho
I think it happens most when I am sitting there trying to read exactly what to do on a hard compound day. But I’d imagine at best for me like an hour a half in those days, but like I said his lighter sessions I can do in less than an hour.I haven’t had anything last 2 hours but 50-75min is pretty typical.

as was mentioned above, the rest times (not always explicitly stated) and number of warm up sets needed can really make a difference in timing... On days that I am pressed for time I usually cut the warmups to a bare minimum or even do some supersets of very light exercises or bands just to get decent bloodflow and then work up during my sets moreI can swing 90 minutes tops, so this sounds doable. Longer than that and i gotta fet up anlot earlier to get in before work and then im not sleeping enough, which would be counterintuitive. Thanks for the feedback guys.
Yeah, and ortho’s. Those fuckers get expensive quick.It definitely depends on who you are and possibly what you're taking. At 43, I do excessive warming up because I'm sick of spending money on chiropractors and rehab.
Not at all. He provides videos demonstrating each exercise.. A majority of the programs are built off press's, rows, pulldowns, hamstring curls, squats, leg press ... The meat and potatoes, He just has slight variations on how to perform certain movememnts which are outlined step by step along the way.Just read one of his programs.. so many uncommon exercises in it. Does it not take a lot of time to learn and setup the exercises correct. Just wonder if that not diminish how effective it is.
Best part is with these variation, i have had various opportunities to test out which exercises feel best for me and you can substitute something that feels weird for something better. For example, i tend to go with kettle bell skull crushers.Not at all. He provides videos demonstrating each exercise..

Yes if you don’t do check it out before hand. That was part of my problem is stopping to watch videos in the gymJust read one of his programs.. so many uncommon exercises in it.

There's a learning curve as with anything else. I typically will do the first week twice since I work out in my garage and sometimes have to think about how I'm going to mimic a certain machine or substitute another exercise in. That along with thinking about the varying intensities can be overwhelming at first, but it's best to not overthink it and just jump in. Plus, once you've done one of his programs, you start to understand his thinking behind things.Just read one of his programs.. so many uncommon exercises in it.

This and making sure to write the program for that down in your log book with rep and rpe targets, along with any other applicable notes(pauses, rest times etc) ahead of time so all the information is right in front of you.Yes if you don’t do check it out before hand.

Absolutely. My harder sessions now are like 1.5 hours max. Have to prep.This and making sure to write the program for that down in your log book with rep and rpe targets, along with any other applicable notes(pauses, rest times etc) ahead of time so all the information is right in front of you.
I was worried about how long the workouts would take me, but going in properly prepared takes care of that.
CD or CD 2.0 for hypertrophy and volume for sure.Hey guys, couple more weeks to finish GB wich is my first time running a program from John Meadows, absolutely loving it from pumps to exercises that allows more muscle-mind connection... It's fun and brutal especially in the second training block where you have to train to legs two times per week. Sick pumps.
I'm looking to get recommendations for what to run next after I'm done with GB.
Things I want :
My goal is maximum hypertrophy so I'm gonna be in a suprlus of calories
I would prefer training every muscle group twice per week but that's not a must
Brutal and fun with PUMPS.
I want to bring up more from the highest to lowest priority are back width, side delts, forearms and ARMS.
CD2 looks very appealing to me then comes taskmaster , another run of GB. But I'm open to all suggestions.
You can run either or. You dont need to run CD 1.0 before running 2.0Why not CD1 for those recommending CD2. I was gonna try CD1 our cause it looks fun and brutal
CD2 gives him the option to hit all body parts twice a week and also an option to drop a body part 2nd session for more recovery.Why not CD1 for those recommending CD2. I was gonna try CD1 our cause it looks fun and brutal
I’ve done both and enjoyed CD2 more. I like hitting all body parts twice a week now.Why not CD1 for those recommending CD2. I was gonna try CD1 our cause it looks fun and brutal
Are you running the 6 days as outlined? I was thinking of doing CD2 but with the PC off/on setup for extra recovery.I’ve done both and enjoyed CD2 more. I like hitting all body parts twice a week now.
He says pretty explicitly that 6 days isnt required and he doesn't expect it for most.Are you running the 6 days as outlined? I was thinking of doing CD2 but with the PC off/on setup for extra recovery.
CD 1.0CD1 is a regular bodypart(bro style) split, right? And CD2 is PPL. I personally never really cared for bodypart splits, id rather do full body or a couple of compound movements plus some accessory work(which is basically ppl). I really like the layout of CD2.
I don’t understand what you are trying to answer from my question.He says pretty explicitly that 6 days isnt required and he doesn't expect it for most.
Yes. I ran it 6 days as outlined. But I believe 3 days are pump days so it made recovery a bit easier. I just started Gamma Bomb again until I decide on my next program.Are you running the 6 days as outlined? I was thinking of doing CD2 but with the PC off/on setup for extra recovery.
