BFL routine too weak?

[bedrock]

HOW You ask

if u ever read muscle media when it first came out you'd know exactly how he got that way (AS)

anyhow i will say BFL is a great book to read if anything for the inspiration it gives u alone.

Re: RE:

HOW You ask... Here are some pics of Bill Phillips, who obviously followed his own program, you decide if he's physic is not just delicious

Sorry to tell you but he did not look like this from the BFL program, he was on AS for a long time, in fact he and his brother used to move it out of the back of his car. As for the BFL training I was actually referring to the weight training, not cardio as I don't do any.

the only part i didnt like was the "high point" or superset part. i wanted him to have a bit more volume per bodypart.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! [/B]

Can you explain? I have been doing it by the book since mon-tues, but if I can fine tune this or that to my specific goals, I want to do that and not totally waste this time period. The basic goals with BFL are in line with mines (loose some body fat, gain muscle, get abs, implement a good diet).

So what would you have had your guy do instead of the superset at the end of each of the excercises?

thanks

Being sick today, I don't know if I will be recuperated by the afternoon to workout. What are you supposed to do if you skip a day of the BFL routine? Just skip it and do whatever is assigned for the next day or bump everything forward a day?

ANother BFL question...

On the aerobics days, that seems pretty weak, just 20 min aerobics, can I /should I work somthing else? I can't work upper body , for example b/c I worked it the day b4 (per BFL schedule) and I can't work lower body b/c it is scheduled for the day after, so no rest period . But, I feel awful just doing the cardio. I know the intensity, but still........

Hey Yoshi

Answers to your questions: well i read in the book that you shouldnt alow setbacks to keep you behind and you should just carry on, at least thats what i think you should do

2. You should follow the cardio on cardio days and weights on weight days, the book tells you something about why this is so important. Try increasing your intensity levels remember your level 5 etc is not the level 5 of the bike/ treadmill its YOUR level 5

BFL can be pretty intense. i just finished training someone on the program, (he liked the program so we stuck to it) and it is decent. he worked hard and we kept the intensity just as the program dictated. he gained some pretty good muscle and dropped tons of bodyfat.

the only part i didnt like was the "high point" or superset part. i wanted him to have a bit more volume per bodypart. cool thing about finishing with it was, when we went on the "nate for life" training, he was begging for the BFL again. hehehehe. so 3 months on that program, he took away some from it and then plateaued, now ill take him further.......


MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

..

Did you keep him on the schedule of only weights 3x wk? That seems so little (but what do I know ?) I feel like altering it (the BFL routine - I am on day 8, btw) and doing it 6 days, and keep everything else the same; doing cardio the days BFL dictates. I just feel very guilty wasting what could be a good day's workout by just doing the 20 aerobics (yes, I have been doing them and know how intense they are, but..... ).

You mentioned you wanted him to have more volume... as in altering BFL a little bit? The way I am doing it now is on an empty stomache (as directed by BFL) in the morning, so I know I am not going to be gaining much muscle, but if I can alter it to get just a little more volume, I would be happy....


Batz...how did you do it / or are doing it?
