Treat your Body Like a Yellow Dump Truck .........OR a Ferrari

you decide what you want and train for it


BodyBuilders will last YEARS, have longevity, better cardio vascular system, and just look phucking pretty


so if thats for you GO for it, and ignore the hype of lifting heavy "cus its kewl and stuff"......

Omega -- I'm past caring about looking cool and trying to toss weight around only to hurt myself -- so if I don't worry about heavy lifting I assume form and focus become key. Assuming volume is important then do I up the total sets?? Chest for example - do I train it more than once week and what should total set be?? thanks a bunch for the help.

Rep threshold, and the lifting properly is KEY Yes

always favor Frequency in favor of recovery

this means basically train body parts as much as possible WITHOUT over training or taxing your CNS

always favor Frequency in favor of recovery

this means basically train body parts as much as possible WITHOUT over training or taxing your central nervous system

Thanks for the pointers Omega -- I'll try to shift my rountine in that direction and see how it goes. I appreciate the help.
