My training style

[WalkingBeast]

Do you really do 12-15 reps a set?

I always thought the best strength gains come from low rep work...I'm suprised to hear you do that with the numbers you put up.

This is what I did for the majority of my gains, before I started getting obsessed with 1RM training. Within the last 2 years Ive started training more for strength and while I accomplished that pretty well, my size hasnt been increasing much. Now Im going back almost fully to my old routine, since Ive injured myself. Ill wait a little while and then go back to strength training again. The routine I was doing was a bodybuilding/strength training mix. The one I listed here is intended for bodybuilding, but strength will no doubt come with it too. I got alot stronger this way. Hope that helps

I could never get away with that many sets, I overtrain way too easily

You should also post your diet WalkingBeast. I'm curious as to: 1)where one finds 180 grams of protein every day; and 2) how you manage to keep it down, specially on workout days.

You should try eating 300+ prot and 800-1,000 carbs. It is exciting.

Exactly how many cows is that? Where can you get so much food protein without overloading on shit?

LOL. I like that "overloading on shit" phrase.

Seriously though, that's really not so much. 300g of protein's only 1,200 kcal. Decent helpings of hamburger meat and steak fit the bill. From leaner sources, 10 (?) chicken breasts or so oughta do it.

With some protein shakes throughout the day and a few good chunks of meat youll hit 300 pretty quickly.

WB-I strongly agree with you in two areas. First, It seems I have finally found another man that agrees on fully resting between sets. I always wondered how people can lift using short rest periods(1.5 min or less). On my compund lifts(bench, squats, etc...) I use at least 3min and on my other lifts I'll go between 2min and 1.5 min. I figure if your still real tight from your last set not resting fully will only hold you back on your following sets. Second, although I do incorporate deadlifts in some of my routines, they aren't a staple. I lift for bodybuilding purposes, and contrary to most here, I don't think they have to be a nessesity.

1 gallon or 3.8L of whole milk = 128 grams prot
1 dozen eggs = 72 grams
2 chicken breasts = 55 grams
8 oz ground beef = 50 grams (roughly)

Of course...there are things like cheese, prot shakes, cottage cheese, tuna, etc...
