OK!!! So I have tried alot of different training, when I first started out for some reason I thought you were supposed to do 3 sets of 10, later I find out this is bull @#%$ if you want to grow big lol... I've done full body workouts, split workouts, PHA workouts (cycling your workout to do 1 set of each excersize, then move onto the 2nd set instead of just hammering down one excersize with all 5 sets)
So right now, I am doing arnie's split system training, but just slowing it down a *TAD* because after the first 2 days I was hardly able to move a muscle in my body lol. His theory seems to be working though in regards to tearing muscle fiber thats for sure!!! He says that you should do 5 sets per excersize if you really want to get the full potential out of your workout for that muscle group, I really think its true too... 3 isn't quite enough, 6 is too much and you risk injuring yourself.
so
day 1: Chest/back/abs
day 2: shoulders/upper arms/forearms/abs
day 3:thighs/calves/lower back/abs
day 4: Chest/back/abs
day 5: shoulders/upper arms/forearms/abs
day 6: thighs/calves/lower back/abs
The thing I am really excited about in this program is the variation of excersizes that I normally do but in this program you do standing instead of sitting, so I think it will really work on my core stabilizer muscles. he has stuff like standing tricep extensions with barbell.
So far on the program the excersizes he suggests that hit me REALLY hard, like so sore the next day... are
50 chinups
deadlifts
barbell clean and press
push presses
narrow grip bench press
standing triceps extensions with barbell
good mornings
But I am really excited to see how these excersizes affect my core strength, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm one of those G.I. Joe weight lifters who'se all biceps/triceps/bench lol!!! But hopefully with specific dedication to core strength excersizes, in no less than 5 weeks I will be one badass machine heading off to basic training lol.... I also do 5 sets of 25 pushups on chest day, and do 5x25 situps every day I train, with 30 minutes of calisthenics on an elliptical machine.
imput and your opinions on this program lemme know =)
