I'm not familiar with the routine.

Its good if you like to look like an anemic retard...

In all seriousness, its fine for cardio purposes, but only heavy intense weight training will cause significant hypertrophy of muscle.

 

[eja35oz]

forget the cardio part of it...what do you think of the weight training aspect of it?

Day 1 Upper Body Training Chest/Shoulders/Triceps/Back/Biceps
Day 2 Cardiovascular Workout
Day 3 Lower Body and Abs Training Quads/Hamstrings/Calves/Abdominals
Day 4 Cardiovascular Workout
Day 5 Upper Body Training Chest/Shoulders/Triceps/Back/Biceps
Day 6 Cardiovascular Workout
Day 7 Rest
*the next week switch upper and lower body days (mon & fri - lower, wed - upper)

Repetitions: x12, 10, x8, x6, x12, x12 for each body part(on the 6th set theres no rest
and its a different exercise
for that body part.

the reason im asking is because im bout to start a cycle soon and i dont wanna use this routine if it isnt good. so far ive done for 2 weeks and i like its extremely intense..

Its a convenient and solid starting routine

Its got all the bases covered from what I see. It looks like its kind of a circuit training. Stick with it and with that and eat fairly clean and it should yield good results.

The effort (in and out of the gym) is more important that the exact reps.

I did it about 8 years ago. It's a killer workout. I was just 44 at the time.

And...
Lets be honest. How much of what we do exercise-wise is really "cutting edge?" If it works, it works. Bottom line.

I'm thinking about starting up my new Cybergenics program tomorrow LOL

I consider Bill Phillips a sellout and a liar. "Creatine monohydrate is like Dbol, and HMB is like Deca" Fuck You Bill !!!
I still have the first 50 or so issues of MM2K.

I cnt see how your body would grow significantlly with that routine. May work for a cutter?

If you have quite a bit of bodyfat, relatively new to training, you would put on muscle and lean up with this routine.

I used to do pyramid training, man moons ago.

For a begginer, it seems like a solid workout that will bring about some positive results.

The first thing I thought when I looked at it was "Holy crap! How can you do chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps, and back all on the same day? That'd take me like two hours."

But then I remembered, beginners don't need to do the same amount of work that an intermediate, or advanced lifter does. A beginner can get away with one exercise per bodypart and still make good gains.

I guess it's all relative to the person doing the program.
