1 year plan..

[borg4902]

A "proper" workout provides a stimulus for growth...it doesn't have to cripple you.

If that's what works for you, that's fine. Whether it's optimal or not is certainly debateable.

So are you recommending 2 a days for maximal growth?

No. But I do recommend hitting a bodypart more frequently than once/week for maximal growth. 2 upper body and 2 lower body workouts per week is a pretty standard workout schedule that I think works quite well. You can make things more complex if you want, but that's a good one.

Pretty good plan for the most part.

I don't like the training much though. Bodyparts should be hit at least twice/week cutting or bulking. You don't have to hammer the $#%@ out of them every workout, just keep a constant stimulus.

The only other comment I'd make is you'd have to make some slight modifications based on whether you have an easy or tough time getting lean (ecto or endo). The plan seems best for someone more in the middle, while I'd tell ectos to do more bulking, and endos to do more cutting.

Borg, remember that size isn't always the best indicator of knowledge. The biggest bodybuilders might know what they're talking about OR they might be the guys with the best genetics and/or using the most gear.

are you kidding me here----your saying ALL BODY PARTS SHOULD BE HIT 2x WEEK???? You've just concluded all the skepticism from your other threads......




SATCH---GREAT PLAN----OUTSTANDING REALLY!!!!!


Very impressive----



Cant wait to see the improvement from your dedication!!!

Willbe, what are your thought on 2 a days. I got my ass reamed by my trainer for even saying that word in the same sentence as bulking?

If you're disagreeing with me, which I know you LOVE to do, that's perfectly acceptable. I don't expect everyone to agree. It would be nice if you could ever explain your position though instead of just simply stating how dumb I am.

Also, when people talk about different splits and frequencies, remember that volume is a key factor. There's a big difference between a 3-set leg workout and a 20-set leg workout in terms of recovery time.

I was simply saying that working out every single body part twice per week regardless of bulking or cutting was one of the dumbest things I've heard/seen on Elite Fitness.......

Out of everyone I've been around, 2 a days have been used for comp diets when you need to go to the gym twice anyways for cardio........but rest is very very important......you have to do what your body can handle----

2 a days for bulking---I personally haven't seen---you'd have to take quite a bit more cals in per day if you workout hard twice---plus I like to go to complete failure and I wouldn't have the energy to go back again without sleeping for 8+ hours~!!!!

Why?

And when you're answering, keep in mind what I said about volume.

Joe, I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT VOLUME---there is only one way to TRAIN and that is ALL OUT!!!!!!------Let that body part rest......Theres not time to hit every single body part properly twice per week anyways........

Done with this thread....

Will, can I assume you're not a lawyer? ie. your debating skills are dreadful.

I would love to have a debate with you or anyone else as to why hitting a bodypart less intensely, but more frequently is better/worse and I'm sure people would learn something from it. Your attitude of "my way is right, everyone else is wrong" doesn't really contribute much to the board.

Instead of just making bold claims and emphasizing them by using caps lock, why don't you offer an explanation so you can actually help people learn?

Why the hell dont you back your you are one of the only ones claiming this stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
