What is the difference between breathing squat and normal? Do you inhale as you go up and exhale as you go down? For exampl,e I breath when i sqaut, I don't hold my breath.
Ah, the difference that makes all the difference. Firstly, these breathing squats are going to be heavy enough that you will not be able to do 20 straight with no rest at the top. That's the whole idea. You're taking your 10-15 rep max in the squat, getting inside the power rack, and not leaving until you get 20.
The first 5 should go relatively smoothly. The next 5 will be tough because this is usually as much as you do. For the next 10, you take them one at a time... getting as many deep breaths as you need at the top as you need to be able to go down and do one more. Right before each rep, you get a huge breath, go down, and when you reach the sticking point exhale hard and push through it.
It's going to be hard. You have to want 20. This will test you physically and mentally. You'll be sweating more after this one set than you usually are from an entire workout. Every muscle in your body will feel like it's on fire. And you'll grow.
(After the set of 20 breathing squats you grab a 20 lb dumbbell (light) and go over and do pullovers on a bench. )
How could this book possible be 100+ pages? I'm haveing trouble finding it short of ordering it through the inter-net, but is there more to it than the squat principle with whole milk and a good diet?
I really can't believe it is either. But Strossen goes into different variations of the program, and iron game history of others who have used something like it to build their base.
No there's nothing more to the program. 20 reps with your 10 max weight. Go up 5 lbs a workout. Drink milk like a baby cow.
I don't care what supermegamassultramyo-2000 program you're on, it isn't physically possible to gain 30lbs of MUSCLE in a month.
A squats and milk program is hardly the latest magazine supplement hype bullshit, Cackerot. Maybe if you tried a program like this you'd get the size you've been looking for. In fact, if you do it right, I guarantee you would.
Its not impossible, but the results aren't guys who will look like pro bodybuilders- ripped, drug like muscles, but just good solid size. If you insist on doing 2-3 hour workouts 6 times a week, no it isn't possible. But a begginer training on this could go from say 150lbs to180 lbs if they trained their butt off.
Exactly Heavy Duty Guy.
Yes, the program will make you BIG and STRONG.
muscle....bullshit fat or weight....sure. if it is muscle i want to start it!!
Hulkrow, enough is muscle that you'd be happy with the results. Very happy.
