The Finished Product - Completed Madcow2 Program.

[Tom Treutlein]

Madcow, what did you mean by "... I will throw out my favorite fat burner as an interval sprinting program (or anything interval if sprinting isn't an option). Just basic stuff is fine..." ?

It sounded a bit jumbled to me. I'm guessing you meant you would use sprints, but part of it ("throw out") made it sound as if you wouldn't bother with them.

If you would, how would you recommend they be done in relation to this program?

 

[Madcow2]

throw out = offer up = provide you with

fat burner = a misnomer for cardio but generally the goal for those looking for conditioning and fat loss

just basic stuff = no need for a complex full blown sprinting program, a basic series will work.

sweed and chitown,

No, I never used any AAS, too soon to use it as i am 19...plus i really dont care for it either. And i did not use an accessory work, no arms, no calves. I occasionally performs some weighted crunches but I almost felt like that was taking away from my core strength because when i did them, it felt really easy after doing some hard squats or deads so i just threw em away all together. For your arms, as Madcow2 and others have said countless times, you will get plenty of work done to your arms throwing heavy rowing, benching, chins. So that really isnt an issue. Calves...well, I've never really been to fond of calves regardless of what program im doing because i have to work them like a mofo, and they never increase or decrease in size. But yeah, thanks for the tips everyone, and the positive feedback. I really do recommend this program to anyone who has yet to try it.

Ceasar, to what extent did your gains in strength and mass come in comparison to fat gains?

Also, following Madcow2's workout, roughly how long did you spend in the gym per workout? (only 3 times a week if i'm correct)

 

[mayhems]

this is a general madcows question but what type of row is this? DB 1 handed row or BB bent row or neither

 

[Madcow2]

Barbell bentover rows. Two variations in this thread: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=366601

Post #3 and Post #19. Preferably use #19 but standard rows as close as possible to 90 degrees done explosively are also acceptable.

I dont know the exact ratio of muslce to fat gains, but I did gain some fat, but nothing outrageous. Sorry i dont have a bf% before and after comparison for ya. But basically, whether i gained fat doesnt really matter should you try this program because your diet is going to be different from mine. I went three times a week, and depending on how busy it was, i would spend 50 minutes to 1.5 hours in the gym. There is also a 2x per week method if you are a little strapped for time, i would check that out.

I was asked a question in a pm in regards to my weekly weight increments for all my lifts. Basically, I kinda just went with what felt comfortable at the time...every week i would always raise a lift by atleast 5 pounds and no lie, I did add 20 pounds sometimes just because i felt like i could push harder. Yeah, it's a little inconsistent and quite a variation in weight, but i got to the same spot in the end had I progressed in more of a linear fashion.
