How about sticking to one single program for ten weeks? The reason most trainees never make progress is because they switch up their routine constantly.

um... i did.. now i cant get past 405... so im trying this..

is that a problem???

In his first post, he mentions that he has been doing the same thing for 10 weeks, and has hit a plateau.

He could pick one and stick to it for 10 weeks, then hit another plateau.

Or, he could keep a good variety consistantly and never hit a plateau again.

Either way might get him past his stuck point right now, but why keep hitting plateau's every 10 weeks if you can keep making progress all the time?

Just my .02,

agreed

 

[Debaser]

Yes. Because he overtrains (heavily).

 

[TheOak84]

not at all... i dont think 6-9 work sets is over training..

and i dont believe you gain 2 pounds a week and get stronger every week.. if you did, youd be in a magazine promoting a supplement making money.. i think DC is alright.. to get out of a platuea...

and dont say you weigh 205 still, you said that like 4 weeks ago, by now you should weigh arounf 212-215..

 

[Debaser]

Haha, actually I did post that I hit 212 like last week, I don't remember which post it was.

I've lost a little weight just because the past week I upped my dance (popping) practice sessions to every day for hours, didn't eat enough and didn't sleep enough. Today I bought a shitload of groceries and tomorrow I'm setting myself back on track.

I like how you say DC is great to "bust a plateau." You've never tried the program. DC has had hundreds of clients, all of whom are making the gains of their life. He's over 300 lbs now, pretty lean. I guess he should try your overtraining volume program, and only use his for plateaus.

I hope one day you'll come around.
