My training style

[WalkingBeast]

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.

ThanX brother!! I have no problem getting through a heavy workout, only resting long enough for my partner to finish a set, and then going again immediately. I can maintain this pace. When I train like this it doesnt seem to do anything for me though. I get the best results waiting until Im ready for the next set. On one rep max deadlifts this could be 20 minutes, similiar to maxing on bench. As for strength gains, I brought my deadlift up 105lbs in 14 months training like this. (405-510). Often exceeding 6 hours training back. I push myself until nothing is left. Deadlifts only seem to thicken the waist and lower back measurement for me, which I like. But my upper back measurement and just about everything else has been at a plateau for the last 2 years.. I was deadlifting every week with my back work and always maxing. My strength increased alot, but deadlifts didnt give me much else but waist thickness, maybe some trap thickness, but not sure how to measure that. Traps have always been my best body part anyway. I think heavy rowing, and chin-ups, and pulldowns are plenty for the upper back. This is how I gained most of my back size and Im going back to the old routine again now ( due to the injury). I will most likely be deadlifting much less frequently for the time being.

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

That's not the hard part, just getting protein. The trick is when you want to get 180-200 grams of protein and stay under 1600 calories.

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...

Maaann, that is alot of food. Not to mention we have to drink alot of water on top of that. No room for cookies.

Do you really drink that much milk a day? That would be the death of me...


Don't forget peanut butter...a few ANPB sandwiches are an easy protein fix in a hurry.

This looks interesting! I think I might give it a try after I recover from the past several months of 5x5. Going for higher reps/lower weight right now.

Thanks brutha, you're looking pretty damn powerhouse yourself. I'm looking forward to getting swole again. After my show on Sat, I got one more in April, then I think it's back to the drawing board for another year. I may hold off and compete again in July though. Thanks again though, maing.
