magazine routine = useless....

I wish there was actually a good magazine worth subscribing to...

if it was useful there wouldn't be more than 1 issue. Hence why books are a much better deal . Once you understand a routine based around rep/sets with iso-crap and no progression is useless, you don't really need to buy anything else.

Magazine Routine

I stopped reading when I got to there. And from what I read, it fuckin sucks.

Training vault, don't deviate from what's in that thread until you have alot of lifting experience and you know your body very well.

Milo from IronMind is cool. Sadly, it's only published every other month.

yep, i was going to suggest milo...

wtf?! huge and ripped in 8 weeks.... BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Most commercial BBing magazines exist for just one purpose - to sell supplements. I wasted so much time following the ridiculous routines in them as a newbie it's untrue <shudder>

 

[blut wump]

WFT is a "straight arm lat pulldown"? All I can imagine is some kind of inverted shrug using the lats rather than the traps.

I too was going to suggest this. At least you can order the back issues from them.

Sadly I think they forgot to include the kitchen sink. But other than that you should be tired, cranky, and generally in a foul mood pretty much the whole time doing that routine.

some of the ebodybuilders on this site call that *intensity*, some others call that *balls to the wall*

glad I wasn't the only one stumped by that one!! haha!!

just remember, its not how heavy you lift, its the intensity and lazer-like concentration that builds weight! If you lift heavy you'll look like a fat powerlifter.

And if you find a new trainee who makes progress regardless of your crappy BB advice (omega) make sure you take pics so you can show everyone how well your 'supps' worked!
