Not to be rude.... but I didnt need to gain anything from your post.. All I was doing was continuing a discussion we had earlier. I looked at all of your points and YES if you don't have experience with lifting then maybe it is not necessarily smart to change your routine drastically. But as I said before, you should push it on a cycle especially if it is short (around 4 weeks). That could mean adding more sets or hitting the muscle more frequently (more than once a week) because of added recovery. If I didn't know any better I would think that you are becoming somewhat condescending.
Not to be rude...But obviously you did...
But hey....have it your way lil fella....
I apologize if I came off as condescending (up until this post...just so you have reference point...second sentence=condescending...sorry, I just couldn't resist). And not to put too fine a point on it but...If I didnt know any better I would think that you were suggesting that anybody whose opinion conflicts with yours 'lacks experience'...
The original poster asked a question, and I gave an opinion based on the experiences of myself and most of the people I have spoken to....Obviously, based on the replys in this post, People who can (or believe they can) train in this way are more common than I believed, although I will continue to believe, until I see evidence to the contrary, that most still attain better results by training in a more 'traditional' way.
You train your way I'll train mine..I just don't think it's a good idea to suggest this way of thinking to a new trainee.
On the bright side (or maybe not) the original poster seems to have lost interest in this thread anyway, so it's all academic at this point
