All else aside what would be your ultimate hypertrophy wrokout??

[zedhed]

Just looking to see what your ideas are on hypertrophy workouts, consider that you are on cycle for this.
Just curious....

I've never been on cycle but...

If I wanted to set strength goals aside I's say a pyramid followed by a reverse pyramid with both compound and isolation movements, implementing rest/pause and additional eccentric contractions to make things interesting.

Thanks bro thats certianly a mouth full.

10x10 GVT or Vince Gironda's 8x8. Although I'm sure you already know everything and anything works wonders while juicing.

 

[zedhed]

Never done either of them . 10x10 GVT is just craziness to me. But remember that Im an old guy too. 8x8 might be interesting after I get up the strength that I want. That might be really good for hypo....

 

[kortisol]

Yea and if you wanna follow vince's program to a T ya gotta do 64 bench presses over your neck instead of your chest...talk about learning all over again. What's hypo?

 

[zedhed]

Hypertorply bro. Guess I should have abrevaited better......

 

[kortisol]

Lol you mean hypertrophy? hell ya, sarcoplasmic hypertrophy at it's best.

I've done a lot of reading around the 8x8 recently and decided to give it a go. The workout was intense and I had an insane pump but was only in the gym for 30 minutes and now I feel like I haven't done enough.

Give us a quick break down bro. How does that workout progress thru the week? And thanks!

Here's the link to the PDF - hopefully it should work. http://www.anaboliccooking.com/blog/downloads/8setsof8.pdf

I'm just doing it as written for the next 4 weeks but will only be doing one leg day on wednesdays and will stick to back squats and heavy deads.

It's basically 3 body parts per day with 2 exercise per body part. You'll do 8 reps of one exercise super setted with 8 reps of another take 30 seconds rest and repeat x4. I.e bench press to neck x8 gironda dips x8 repeat 4 times.

Chins super setted with wide grip lat pull down was particularly unenjoyable this morning! Haha

Much thanks bro added that to my favs.
yeah I bet it was....chins and pull downs.
