one word:

overtraining

 

[Never Enough]

The only word needed to describe that has already been used!

 

[Xalthus]

well lets say my body can take this abuse... will my muscles be able to grow good following this workout?

 

[spentagn]

umm...no?

 

[MadMachine]

Three words too describe that-
Nervous System Collapse!
Or three more words-
Bad fuck'n idea!
Or three others-
Call an ambulance!

Not even Arnold and Franco trained that much. I may have missed how many sets, maybe is one per exercise was used that would be okay, but I highly doubt that's the case.

 

[Xalthus]

ok.. but WHY won't it work? i wanna know. It seems like it would work pretty good since i would be working out every muscle.

 

[Suspension]

I hope that was a joke.

 

[Xalthus]

seriously

 

[Hugh Gellatts]

Bro, you do not need to hit every possible part of the muscle in a particular workout. If you stick to around 2 basic movements and rotate the excercises you will get much better results.

for example: one day for chest I might do medium grip incline presses and flat DB flys. The next week I'll do flat db presses and low cable flies for the upper chest. Some weeks I'll just flat bench. This allows me to handle heavy weights yet still have balanced development.

Also: do everyone a favor and don't work chest on monday. Why so many people are compelled to do this is beyond me.

 

[BigDogg]

desperate for a post count?

 

[bigmag]

I agree with Conan.....I think you're overtraining....you are also working your tri's on mon. and Tues. Bad idea....you're muscles need atleast 48 hours to recoperate. Accept abs.....they only need 24.

 

[vexed]

Man several people have already told you teh reason you will be overtraining you poor little body...

 

[stretch]

Hey fella's, I wouldn't even answer the questions this fuck up Xalthus has to ask. After he posted some negative shit on one of my threads, I went on the search engine to see if he did that shit to other people, and sure enough he posted some fucked up shit on other peoples threads also for no apparent reason. I think this guy is just a dumbass.

Fuck you Xalthus,
stretch

 

[curl45]

ya but...

My workout routine is kind of similar to that one. Although not with quite as many lifts per body part, I do a workout that many would consider overtraining, but this is what my body responds to the best.
I've tried backing off of my "overtrained" workout for several months, but I just don't see the results I do with my current workout.
I know what works best for MY body and that is what I do. This type of workout may work best for this dude. You don't know till you try it. I don't agree FULLY with his routine, he could drop many of these lifts. I don't know if he'd have the energy to complete them all anyway!!!
What I"m saying is different workouts work for different people. He may respond great to this type of lifting. He won't know till he tries it.
Just my 2 cents

 

[carrera]

Wow that seems like alot of shit for one body part , and Wow some of you guys should be a little nicer to eachother.
Strech bro you got a message

 

[fitchick10]

I definitely think you should do this workout. That way you will burn out real fast, get an injury or two and then be out of my #@##@ing way next time I go to the gym!!! THANKS in ADVANCE

 

[carrera]

WOW , we got some serious attitude on the board tonight , I must be the only one gettin booty today

 

[68GT350]

I agree...A lot or roid raging going on. Take it easy guys. I think the regimine is a bit over-ambitious, but what the hell do I know

 

[stretch]

I guess that's what this fuck up Xalthus gets when he posts negative shit on other peoples threads and then acts like a dumbass on his own thread. Maybe he'll grow up soon.

Once again... Fuck you Xalthus,
stretch

 

[RADAR]

My exercises sometime revolve using a puss-pull routine...Push exercises,Bench,Tris,Sholders, Pull exercises.Rows,Lat pulldowns,Bicep curls this allows the pull & push muscles a day off..then its on to leg day.......RADAR

 

[Xalthus]

stretch maybe i posted shit on your thread cause your a fuckn dumbass? and no im not fishing for posts im trying to see if anyone else would consider this workout a good or bad one. And fitchick i would break ur neck with my penis so dont talk shit.

 

[Xalthus]

You sound like my fucking sister stretch. Quit your bitching and go grow some ballz you ugly little ooberdyke.

 

[Xalthus]

And thanks to all with helpful tips I guess i should cut it down a bit. but ill stay wit basically the same schedule. except i wont do chest on monday.

 

[stretch]

Spoken like a true pussy. And I doubt fitchick would even give you any to begin with. From the way she talks, she wouldn't associate with a loser like you anyway.

Do yourself a favor and go kill yourself Xalthus,
stretch

 

[Xalthus]

Hey brotha, I got nothing more to say to you unless your in utah one time. Then maybe we can talk. peace out.

PS. quit bitchin u little shit-stick.

 

[stretch]

Ummm... How old are you? You know juicing is bad for kids.

Grow up you fuck,
stretch

LOL! I think Xalthus is just an adolescent without much attention who gets his ass beat by the cool guys like us, so now he's trying to get big with the hopes of one day kicking our ass, which will never happen.

Sorry Xalthus you pussy,
stretch

 

[Xalthus]

Stretch, post a picture. Ill post my before picture. and we see who can kick whois ass.

And carrera. He came flaming me on my thread so i can reply to it right?

 

[Xalthus]

And when i said "no one carez bro" on your thread i did not mean it in a "flame" way. No one was posting on your thread so i just put that cause i guess no one was replyin on it. And i still wanna see your picture. And ill post mine if u want.

 

[stretch]

And carrera. He came flaming me on my thread so i can reply to it right?

Dude, carrera is a personal friend of mine. And trust me I've been juicing since before you got out of diapers, my child. The places I've been would make a little boy like you shit on yourself. And yes I promise you I can beat your little ass, but I would quit now before I decide to come to Utah to fuck your girlfriend if you ever find one with a self esteem low enough to take you.

And once again... Fuck you Xalthus,
stretch

 

[Xalthus]

so are you backing down? why does it matter how long you juiced. Sounds like you have a low self-esteem problem? remember, you came on here flaming me.

 

[carrera]

See now we're getting somewhere , just calm down and be nice. Maybe he thought that you were flaming him , Its kinda one of those things like i walk up to you with a stait face and say
You fucking cock sucker
then stand their looking at you , your gonna be pissed !
but if I walk up smileing an say it then say how ya been it is all good.
Just a misunderstanding

 

[carrera]

and remember the baddest guy you know is probably the calmest and quickist to find another way other that fighting

 

[stretch]

so are you backing down? why does it matter how long you juiced. Sounds like you have a low self-esteem problem? remember, you came on here flaming me.

Look, no more time to argue with you. You have flamed people on their threads on numerous occations. Most of us don't stand for that here. We are all in this together with the exception of the few that come on here talking shit on peoples threads for no reason, like you have done. I would suggest you put your pajamas on and let mommy tuck you in for the night before everyone keeps flaming you.

And I don't see anything in any of my posts to suggest that I would back down. I don't back down and never would, but it's getting pointless to argue with a stupid fuck like you on the computer. Maybe if we were face to face I could serve you the ass whipping you will definitely recieve if you keep that attitude.

Get a little more respect Xalthus,
stretch

 

[Xalthus]

"Most of us don't stand for that here. We are all in this together with the exception of the few that come on here talking shit on peoples threads for no reason, "

YOUR A GENIUS! , you flame yourself . And i thought you dont back down?wheres the picture? Post a pic and ill post a pic, and see who can kick whois ass. Im sure you have been juicing A LONG TIME, like you say , do you think that makes you a badass? HEH. Just let me know when your in Utah area, I'll be more then glad to have a nice conversation with you. Well I actually do need to get to bed i need to get up early tomorrow. Peace out iron bro.

 

[carrera]

This si what kills me , just because you big don't meen your bad.Knowledge is the key , speed and strength help but if your a fucking amature then your in for a beating.
Not saying that I want to fight but I might come to Utah this year for an Elk hunt maybe we could meet

 

[stretch]

Let's see Xalthus... With all of the flames you've recieved on here from other people, including myself, I would suggest you change your name and join this board under a different one with a better attitude. This isn't a good way to start for you. Now quit crying and go to bed. Everything will be better tomorrow.

Xalthus one day you might grow out of the stage of being such a pussy,
stretch

LOL! Hey carrera, I would say we take a trip to Utah to give this pussy a real ass beating, but my intuition tells me that before we get there someone else will have already beat us to it.

Peace,

[MikeyLikesJuice]

overtraining because some exercises you are doing six different ways to hit one muscle group. Each exercise calls for 3-4 sets, so that would make 20-24 sets per body part, per day. Thats too much. Like stated before take 3 or four ways to hit one muscle group, then switch it to the other 3 or 4 after 4 weeks so the muscle is shocked constantly, and will grow better. If you do 3 different exercises for one muscle, I would do 4sets of each, totaling 12. If you do four, I would do 3 sets of each exercise, this not including warm up sets. I think you will have great results with this. Take 15-20 minutes to stretch and this routine should only take 45 minutes to an hour, thats what I like to do.

 

[68GT350]

Now, this is just getting rediculous...Both you guys (Stretch and Xalthus) are acting like a couple of kids. I didn't come here to see two guys bicker. Settle your differences on some other medium and come back when you are BOTH willing to be civil.

Let bygones be bygones

 

[carrera]

I wanna be the big nice guy , maybe buy Xalthus a drink and have some laughs , talk about lifting and the juice ,
meet his 21 yr old hot sister , just have a good time.
You can tell a person that hasen't had his ass realy beat
cause he is quick to want to fight and run that mouth.
I used to be like that but I got my ass handed to me a couple of times and realized that it hurts !
I'm board with kicking peoples asses and I'm starting to get a little cocky cause I haven't had a good beatin in about 10 years , but their is somebody out their waiting for me. one day
You guys need to chill out a little , it aint worth getting pissy over and it surly aint worth fighting over.
I fought for money for a while , and money ain't even worth it.
Letts get along and share some good info , we are all brothers in this great sport , and nothing is stronger than brother hood
Xalthus , if you ever make it to the New Orleans are drop me a line , we'll all go party

TO ALL YOU BRAINWASHED, CLOSED-MINDED MENTZER FOLLOWERS (heheheheh):

there is nothing wrong with high volume workouts as long as you adjust your intensity, have a solid dietary plan, and you are on hormonal supplementation!

i was on a very high volume (ie:50 set back workouts) for the last 4 weeks of my last cycle....reason was because i stopped growing at about 6 weeks into my 12 week cycle, but changing my training at week 8 allowed me to utilize the rest of the cycle for positive development, even though i didn't gain any weight (the sheer volume of these workouts causes cardiovascular effects.) i went short of failure for every set and limited the rest between sets to 1 minute. here's a sample quad workout:

squats: 10 sets, 315 x 6-8 reps
presses: 10 sets, 8-10 plates per side x 5-8 reps
hacks: 10 sets, 4 plates per side x 5-6 reps
extensions: 10 sets, 10 reps (usually 1/2 the weight stack, depending on which machine used.)

needless to say, training like this hurts! however, it gives you a totally different sensation than traditional low volume workouts. i have trained to failure for almost 10 years straight, and figured why not go for a bit of a change?

remember guys, variety is the key. so don't completely shun methods of high volume before you try it out for yourself. just be sure that you are doing the right things, diet- and supplementation-wise, before you decide to go full speed with these variations.

feel free to e-mail me if any of you have questions about it:

Also: do everyone a favor and don't work chest on monday. Why so many people are compelled to do this is beyond me.

haha, no shit... I fall into that category, no wonder I can never find a bench...

 

[Pharm Animal]

Hugh G...

around here, chest day is monday thru sunday for some of these folks....sometimes i can't even get a bench on sunday at 5AM....thank god for inclines! LOL

 

[enzymus]

I hate chest on mondays everybody does it......Can't get a fuckin machine when everyone does chest on Monday.

 

[hard]

Great workout! Just remember to start and finish each day with a 5 mile run, limit your water and protien intake and no more than 4 hours of sleep per night.

Go man go!
