Split Routine or Full Body

[Svengali]

Wow! I would find it embarrassing to post the nonsense I have read in this thread..

Anywho, I am testing a hybrid version of the 5x5 now. My delts and lats are incredibly well developed compared to my chest, which has lagged. I really cleaned up my form on chest and that has helped. I have switched to an every other day workout schedule. I split shoulders& tris/legs/ Back& Bi's. I do a 5x5 chest workout on each of these workout days. I have come off cycle (3 weeks) and gotten stronger and much fuller in my chest. It seems to be great for both strength and size. I will post results in a couple months

WEll ofcoarse you cant do fucking 8 bodyparts in one day. I'm talking about 1 compound exercise for each bodypart. Example: Bench Press, Barbell Row, Squat, Dips, Shrugs. Right there you've hit the chest, lats, triceps, biceps, quads, lower back, traps, front and rear delts. Now someone who does that can do each lift with 100% intensity cause he would be fresh for each lift coz he hasnt wore himself down with 4 chest exercises. What you gota say now BODYBUILDER?

bro ur a fuckin idiot talking about farmers lol...what the hell do they have to do with bodybuilding?? you make it like they are built like competition bodybuilders lol........u prolly weigh 170 and the only way u can talk shit to big motherfuckers like us on this board is threw the computer!

dude,for someone that's not posted for shit you should read more and educate yourself.hate to break the news but full body workouts will limit your stength and ability to use as much weight while working out as you could on a split body part workout routine.why do I say that?because when you workout your whole upper body(chest,shoulders,back,traps,biceps,forearms and triceps) on the same day your triceps will be prefatigued not to mention most if not all of your other muscles you use.you won't be able to do 1/2 of the fucking weight you normally would be able to do when on a split routine.I didn't say that you had to train just one bodypart and have 4 to 6 days to rest,thats something you pulled out of your ass,not something I've said.

you speak of farmers like they were built like Greek gods,implying that they are really muscular you have no fucking idea what you're talking about bro.that's precisely why farmers aren't big,because they do the same goddamned weight over and over never really increasing the load.do they have endurance?of course they do,but for that endurance a price is paid in muscular development.This isn't an endurance board........you must be lost bro.

this is the kind of thing someone who doesn't know that bench is a tricep and delt exercise (plus some pec) would say.
same goes for any kind of press. when you hit 400 on the bench (for instance) you are moving 400 with your tri's, delts and pecs combined contrary to what they say in the dummy's guide to 21st century bodybuilding. compare that with moving max 100lb DBs on some retarded shit like laterals or 50lbs on kickbacks and you would know just how wrong you are.

about split routines being ideal for strength

i know what why don't you tell all the powerlifters and olympic lifters to start using your monday, chest and bis, tuesdays delts and tris, etc routine!

Hey dumbass,I know that triceps,delts,and pecs are being used extensively during the bench press.That's precisely why I said that your triceps would be pre fatigued from doing a full body workout and you couldn't use as much weight as if you were on a split body routine.By the way if that's you in your avatar you might want to change your diet(or lack of).40% bf is so unattractive bro.

Just for your information that made no fucking sense at all,it's obvious english isn't your first language.You might want to pay an interpreter to help you communicate.While I'm on the subject where in the fuck did I say that it was only triceps that you were using to bench press?the fact is I didn't anywhere.You should probably hire someone to read to you and explain what the fuck's been said also.

you idiot, why the hell would i care about *pre exhausting* my triceps on bench?! because i wouldn't be able to go *balls to the wall* on kickbacks?! oh my! bummer! you don't do kickbacks on a full body workout - presses work them adequately (same with delts)! is that hard to digest?!

as for the second part of your post... no english isn't my first language... but given that i've got a highly paid job in a 120 billion dollar AMERICAN company, i must have decent english language skills! perhaps you'd do well to take some english lessons so you could figure out what i meant in that post! or maybe you're just too dumb... no solution for that!

If you pre exhausted your triceps doing bench presses it would fuck up the shoulder part of your workout and ability to do heavier weight on military presses,which you do when doing a full body workout......or have you forgotten that obvious fact?

Where in the fuck did I say that you do dumbell kickbacks on a goddamned full body workout?The fact is I didn't.You're so pissed off that you're making shit up and I'm finding it hilarious.Perhaps you should learn to read english and actually fucking absorb what's being written,instead of jumping to boneheaded fucking conclusions.... and making an ass out of yourself.Another thing do yourself a favor and go on a diet bro.40% bodyfat doesn't qualify as being muscular at all.

where are your pics... and i wouldn't consider 14-15% bf fat.

and no you didn't say kickbacks... but what difference does that make? kickbacks, pushdowns, skull crushers, (isn't that what you strong mofo disco bodybuilders do for tri *isolation*) at the end of the day you aren't going to be moving much weight at all as compared to a big compound lift! are you so friggin dense?! i'm not making an ass of myself, you are just so dumb you think you are pwning me with your non existent logic.

I rotate between a 5x5 and an HST routine throughout the year. I'd hardly say powerlifters can't be buff, look at Mariusz, for example. I would suggest to you guys who denigrate full-body workouts that muscle definition is more due to diet.

 

[hyp1]

goddamned right I never said that you do dumbell kickbacks on a full body workout.you made that shit up because you were pissed off, and just made it up like a moron.make up some more shit,so I can laugh at you.

you are obviously lacking in logic reason and common sense.

you dumb fuck, why MUST one do military press after bench for shoulders?! there's no escaping using your tri's and delts to adequately work your pecs. at the same time, bench press will hit your shoulders and tri's more than adequately or have you forgotten that obvious fact?

the bench press IS the shoulder part of the workout, it IS the tricep part of the workout and obviously it IS the pec part of the workout too.... sinking in pea brain?
