Bigdho/JKurz 5x5

[Tom Treutlein]

JKurz, weren't you supposed to try an HST-esque routine?

You seem to change your mind as much as me.

No doubt this a great routine to follow! I like how it keeps everything balanced.

 

[JKurz1]

ahhh...you switched to pulls....nice.

So far I've done Chest/Back Width/Abs on Monday
Delts/Calves/Trps on Tuesday

LOVE IT....although I found that it's going to be rough moving up 5lbs with Dbell Military, might need to switch it next week............Also, my calves respond much better to heavy sets, low reps...wouldn't you agree Bigdho? I mean think about it, you calves are accustomed to taking multiple reps daily (walking).........

As for today, it's either Arms then off tomorrow or off today and Arms tomorrow.....you guys change your diet/carb intake on off days? I'm still planning on doing some HIIT cardio work on my off day, so I should probably keep the carbs, no?

 

[bigdho]

dude your bulking KEEP THE CARBS. Try not to over complecate your diet just eat a lot and worry about cutting up when its time. as far as calves I do high weight and try to hit 15-25 reps just because that is what I seem to respond to. You will get some mixed opinions on this but I say fuck the cardio for now......why burn the calories you need to grow,shit I dont even walk fast when Im bulking up LOL.

Oh bulshit...... I said I would look into it.....makes about no sense to me, plus people that advocate it seem to hate answering questions, so I said screw it....but having listened to the Beast and viewed Needsize's results, how could I pass it up.....Never changed m mind on the one bro.....started yesterday and love it.....

Actually, I'm pretty sure this is how it went:

If I designed a training cycle for you to follow for 8-10 weeks, would you do it? It would be HST-based.

I'd like to see if I can make you rethink some things.

Debaser - It'd be my pleasure.......light it up....

Then I went to the trouble of actually outlining a program, and everyone else helped out and answered questions as well. Then you post this:

I think I'm gonna fail......hate to admit it, but I can't do it any more....I've gone 5 days w/o training and, although I feel good, I need to train today for mental release....work has been hectic, my girl's dad is dying very soon of pancreatic cancer, she's been miserable, I've been miserable.....and I need it....Chest and calves tonight......sorry.........

Which would lead me to believe you might actually be trying the program by now, but instead you pussed out. I doubt you'd ever commit more than 2 weeks to ANY program, you change your mind seemingly by the day.

many of the greats say to use instinct training. Its the best way to train for your own body....Why knock it not everyone is the same. I think with everyones advice they should post a pic of themselves and their diets & routines in there profile. That should weed out who knows what.....Plus it would show some variety. These boards put out alot of false info.

Kinda like " if you want to grow run testosterone because deca sucks and I hope you lifting 5x5 or not gunna grow "
