Hi I have a trainer I know. Who has me doing a completely different routine then I have ever done.
Basically he starts me off for 3 months doing a full body work out.
And also eating much more as I am trying to gain some muscle.
The routine basically is
1. Deadlift 1 set
2. Lying leg curl 1 set
3. Squats 1 set
4. Calf raises 1 set
Etc etc Same for back etc 1 set.
Basically he has it all programmed and I go once a week only. I do the set to complete failure. Time and number of reps are recorded. the next week I go we always add weight. I have been going for a while and it seems to be working, as the weight has gone up each week and the reps are near the same.
He says the important a[prt is the resting period and the eating.
Does this makes sense? Or is this a weird way to work out. I have been working out for years with growth but not getting anywhere lately.(32yo) This seems to work, but still not sure. He says it is based lossely on th eMike Mentzer program?
Any opinions?
Thanks
