Supplement Combination

I do strength training to prolong the time im able to train. Eventually your body will start to age and you will wish you were just a little stronger. Especally your lower back.


Do you know how much calories you take in?


2800-3000 cal. a day
 
Actually I'm strong enough . Why a body builder wants to be more strong ??? What is the relationship between gaining muscle mass/volume and being strong ??? I'm sure 5x5 will work on me , my body responds very quickly but if there is no dramatic differences between 8-12 reps 3-4 sets training and 5x5 training , then why I'm gonna risk myself at the expense of injury ???

Main meals, so morning-lunch-evening meals . I dont calculate too much fine detail about my nutritional values . I'm getting enough carbohydrate and protein from different sources .

Lighter weights with more reps can be just as dangerous with overuse injuries. Lifting heavy =/= injury
 
Did you actually read the PHAT writeup or are you just pretending to? It explains why strength is important. Because when you do hypertrophy days, what will build more mass, squatting 315 for 12 reps or squatting 225 for 12?

Hmm okay, I missed this part .

"..............Typically when one is training for strength, he will inevitably need to gain mass once he hits a wall. That is just fact. He will someday reach a plateau where he can no longer get any stronger without adding some more muscle to help with the motion. The opposite holds true to: the bodybuilder will evenetually need more strength to add more mass to his body. P.H.A.T. hopes to aid with this…......."

Well there you have it. Progressive overload builds muscle. Strength training accelerates progressive overload so that when you do train in the 8-12 rep range, more muscle is built
 
Nahh I've studied this system a little bit and didnt like it . I will continue to pyramid system .
 
It is far, far superior to a typical bodybuilding split. By far. Training muscle groups once per week is not enough; the body can handle much more than that. Increased frequency while dropping intensity and/ or volume will be far more beneficial than a once per week split.

The dogma of Back/ biceps, Chest/ Triceps is overrated and overused. Layne Nortons P.H.A.T provides the basis for my own routine which I started 6 months ago and already my mass has increased significantly.

Well good for you but I strongly dislike them.
 
Salaam, I have some questions.

1) Do I need to use Amino and Whey together after trainings ?

2) Do I need to use Amino and Whey together before trainings ?

3) Do I need to use creatin in whey shake at mornings when I wake up ?

1. Doesn't matter.

2. Preworkout protein and carbs take care of that.

3. Doesn't matter,just take it every day.
 
Hi again,

An update about my body growth during the four-month period.

I'm about 185 lbs currently, I 've gain about 20 lbs in last 4 months. I dont know what is my percentage of body fat, but based on my experience, I can say its not more than %20. I ve used different training methods for exercises and the most useful method for me; Reps number between 8-10 and slow reps, sometimes so slow, I dont pay attention to the number of sets, sets for until I feel its enough, usually 3 or 4 sets, so rarely 5 sets.

About supplements,

Weider Premium Whey ; An ordinary protein powder, their empty boxes more useful, I continue to use BSN Syntha-6, its my first love.

Bpi Sports Creatine ; Its highly effective, I ve stopped using it 2 months before and I felt as like I fall into the void.

Universal Amino 3001 ; Its good enough and has closed the gap caused by Weider.

Multipower Bcaa and Weider Glutamin ; I think they are good at their duties to gain muscle mass and not to lose them.


Thank you, salaam alaikum, peace ...
