I pm ed Marcus this morning. He said I could post it as it may help others
It the same message he has been preaching since day one. I thought I understood but I was only getting half or a little more. I am rethinking and reapplying it. I'm in a mode of extended learning at this point. One day it's all going to come together.
I know you saw all of my workouts this week that I posted. Am I still doing something wrong? I go to positive failure then either drop or do forced negatives till I have nothing. I m not experiencing any doms just a little stiffness. If I'm working to failure I should be feeling it at some point right ? I mean I did tris yesterday and killed them. Nothing this morning so I said fvck it lets beat the shut out of them today. And I was able to still work them hard. What am I missing? My arms are shaky now but I did bi on Wednesday,tris yesterday and both again today so they should be shaky. What do I need to optimize my training? I thought I had this figured out. Thanks in advance.
its impossible to do forced and negatives without a partner, not a chance in this world you could take yourself to failure and do forced and negs. But you can still do rest pause or drops.
One body part per week is good stick with that if its trained right in the first place your body will need this time to repair it,
You can partials on your own, which ive documented on my log a few times, halfs and quarters are really good and the constant tension is kept on the muscle similar to forced but to do negs correctly which do cause the most damage you need a partner tp assist you to get the weight to the end of the positive rep.
From what you just told me I cant see any problems except you really need to makes sure your going to true failure and incorporate the beyond failure methods after you have taken yourself to failure, either use halfs and quarters, rest pause or drops to take you PAST FAILURE once you have reach failure. This is why I make so many posts on the mental state, read how I approach a working set, you got one chance, you got to get your mind set right, its only 30-40 seconds worth of torture, you got to talk to your inner self, the strong successfully people who build huge head turning size are the guys who are mentally strong, everything starts in the brain, the power is in your head. To trigger the nerves to make the muscle respond with strength get triggered by the brain, read between the lines what I am saying and you will start to see things clearer.
Think of this situation cape, me and you are training and doing incline db press and you have warmed up and got a a set of db's on your knees ready to flip up to do your working set and your thinking of something to get your fire going in your body, something to unleash the aggression and all of a sudden I slpa you as hard as I could across your face and shouted come on you soft cvnt lift the fuking weight- you would get instantly angry and go into figt mode with me because you would think I was out of order to hit you that hard, you would instantly go into fight defence mode, just like just before your about to start fighting with someone. You would lift those bells easy, you would lift heavier than you have ever done, you would go to complete failure and then I would help you with 2 forced reps and then 2 negatives, you would recruit every fiber in your chest to do that set because your brain as gone into fight mode, the aggression would of been released but in a controlled manner.
If your getting in this state mind set more workouts than not than your doing it right and you will brow even bigger, the mind connection is the first thing people need to learn how to developed, everything else will be easy once you master this !!!!
Then he told me how nice my beard looked.
