Yeah, I've read Super Squats. It's a great book and a good program for anyone looking for a solid base.
anyone tried those workouts? What kind of routines were there?
Yes. It's a 20 rep breathing squat program. The hardest work you'll ever do. Results match effort.
30lbs of weight, yeah. 30lbs of muscle, impossible.
I really hate when people use absolutes like this. It isn't impossible. No it's not likely because to gain any signifigant amount of muscle you have to be in a caloric surplus. But it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE. The most likely scenario if you're working hard is about 20-22 lbs of muscle and 8-10 lbs of fat. Trust me, you won't even notice the 8 lbs. It will be spread out and oh yeah, on top of around 20 lbs of new muscle which you definitely will notice.
Now, there are certain things that will affect how much you gain.
how long you've been training
how much muscle you've already added to your frame
the level of your physique
the amount of work you've put into squats, bent rows, and presses in the past
the volume of the routine you'll be coming off
the quantity of food you can stomach. (If you barely eat anything in addition to the gallon of milk a day then your gains will be minimized)
A friend of mine did super squats and gained 20lbs. in one month. Granted he drank a half gallon of whole milk every day while he was on it, so I highly doubt it was all muscle. Interestingly, he also said his bench went up like 30lbs. as well. I haven't read the book, but this is the one that advocates sets of 20 rep, breathing squats though right?????
Awesome. And you see, he drank only half a gallon of whole milk every day. The program actually advocates 1 gallon or more. I wouldn't be at all surprised if his bench and a lot of other lifts all went up that much.
20 pounds in one month is alot. Ask him if he got more ripped or gained fat. Because I keep reading about people who gain A LOT of muscle and get ripped at the same time from this routine.
20 lbs in one month is a lot. The people who say this program just makes you fat are probably not pushing themselves hard enough in the workouts. But I can't say you'll get ripped at the same time. You'll most likely put on a lot of muscle and a little fat (not even noticeable).
30 pounds of pure muscle?? hah good luck
Well, why would you need to put on any weight anyway, Wizkid? The ladies already love your arms right? LOL
By the way, the guys who push themselves through programs like these are going to be the ones who continue to grow while you stay the same size doing bicep specialization routines in your corner of the gym with 25 lb dumbells.
