been doing some reading on hypertrophy and didnt like too many of the ideas of some of the authors.
However one article that did catch my eye was Vince Gironda's 8x8 routine. Certainly sounds formidable but seems quite good. My questio nis have any of you ever tried it? How did you like it, and such?
i was thinking of doing something like this
monday and thursday
flat db bench
bb shoulder press
dips
curls
tuesday and friday
chins
squats
hamstring curls
calf raises
all done 8x8 with a 20-30 scond pause in between. I would imagine that my weights would be super light when i first get into it. If you want me to post the article that i read this from just tell me.
I would certianly like to put deadlifts in there but i think it might be a bit too stressful for the lower back!
Your comments and suggestions are welcome!
oh and my stats are
20 years old 185 lbs ben working out for 1.5 years and i wanna be big!
