Training and YOU.

[Japanese machine]

Just out of curiousity, how much time do you bros actually put into perfecting your training? For example do you generally stick to HIT, high volume...etc... or do you try to take in account things like muscle fibre distribution, or mechanical disadvantages in general due to genetics to optimize every single training session? In other words trying to know your bodies science.

Any bros actually do this? Try to know your body to that level? I know of a few bros that already do this on Elite, and guess what? they always look better.........

any thoughts?

It's a great idea....I guess I'm too lazy to

I'm afraid I'm not that knowledgeable about my body. I do mix it up though. I will do a HIT cycle for about 8 weeks then rotate to A higher rep/set cycle for 8 weeks then spend 2-3 weeks doing moderate weight, very high reps.

lol.

I have diff rep ranges for all body parts, it took a while to get over my ego and drop HIT, low reps. But since then training has been much more efficient; growth wise. I do do low reps but only for certain body parts.

I tend to be very analytical by nature. Sometimes, when studying the latest and greatest or tried and true training methods, I go off on a tangent and try to develop "THE ULTIMATE PERSONALIZED TRAINING SYSTEM" for myself. The problem is that, although bodybuilding is a great passion of mine, the actual time I have to give for it is somewhat limited.

What happens in actuality is this: My method of training evolves as I, my body, mind, and spirit, evolve. Perfecting ones training can come from no book. What counts most is that I'm in that gym working my ass off each and every day I'm supposed to be.

I keep a training log etc... EVERYDAY... I record it in an Excel sheet, and graph my intensity on a scale base on 1RM etc... I just like to play with numbers and stuff... but it does help... I've learned what exercises and rep ranges work well pour moi...

This is actually something I toy with daily. I am always hungry for more knowledge on this subject, and always looking for ways to perfect my training. Over time I have learned what works best for my body. For me, it is power moves (squat, clean and press, dips, etc) mixed with isolation moves. With the isolation moves, I get better results out of slightly higher reps (6-8 range), but for the power ones 4-6. If I up my reps in any of those exercises, my body suffers for it. I try to work on it weekly, and I never think it will be perfected. Right now I am trying a new method I thought out, and I will see how that goes. I am a firm believer that training, nutrition and rest are more important than the drugs. Without those factors, no amount of test, deca, d-bol etc will help you out....

Nicely worded, i agree 100%

I will try HIT when I stop gaining strength or hit the wall in some way.

I'm not that knowledgeable about the body. I mix it up 2-3 weeks doing moderate weight, very high reps and go heavy weight low rep to test my self.

Same here. Some thing work well for me that others do and some do not. I believe it takes years to understand your bosy during training and am a believer in tracking progress. I stopped using a training log after I injured my back and after using it again for just a month I feel like I am back on a good pace.

For instance when I upped the reps and lowered the weight on deads I started to grow again.
Low reps work well for biceps for me (4-6)while for most people it seems 10-12 work well.
