    even on reloads i over trained fast, deloads didnt allow me to recover enough and still stay in overtrained state

    This means you used too much volume during both reloads and deloads!

    I'll simplify it for you!

    Run a steroid cycle for 8 weeks. During this 8 week period utilize anywhwere from between 6-12 sets per body part once a week. Protein intake remains high. THIS IS YOUR 8 WEEK RELOAD!

    Next, reduce steroid intake by at least half, reduce protein intake by around half and reduce work sets by half for 2 weeks. So if you are doing 8 sets for chest during reload you will only do 4 sets per week during 2 week deload. THIS IS YOUR 2 WEEK DELOAD!

    Start another 8 week reload and 2 week deload is complete and so on. It's that simple!

    coz anyone naturally would overtrain

    as to ronnie, i didnt use to much volume

    i actually trained at the lower end of ur reload phase

    e.g
    8 sets for chest
    8 sets for back
    6 sets foir biceps etc

    and i still overtrained

    just goes to show everyone is different

    and gear was legit,

    I'm trying it now. 5 weeks in and my only question for those that run it after the 8 week cycle then cutting everything in half for 2 weeks included your AAS do you jump right back on another 8 weeks cycle of AAS when you reload again? How long do you do this for?

    Whether or not you use AAS again after a deload, or break as I like to call it, is totally dependent upon your personal goals. Unless bodybuilding or sport puts food in your mouth, I don't think it's a good idea to be running AAS quite so much.

    i actually cut my chest work out from 20 - 24 sets... to 12 - 14 sets and when i re load i am going down to 7 to 8 heavy !!!! sets...

    brother i would never ever have tried this but it just totally makes sense... AND I MUST SAY I HAVE NOT HAD A INJURY THAT HAS STOPPED ME WORKING OUT - IF I GET HURT I CAN ALWAYS DROP BACK OR TAKE THAT MUSCLE GROUP OFF FOR A WEEK OR TWO... THEN I RIGHT BACK IN TO IT

    and i still overtrained I don't think you know the meaning of over-training. However, if you have a heavy labor job and/or get very little sleep I apologize and in that case you could be over-training and would simply need to reduce sets and training days even more so during reloads and deloads. Then you won't over-train.


    Just goes to show everyone is different OF COURSE EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. THATS WHY YOU CHOOSE THE AMOUNT OF SETS YOU ARE CAPABLE OF HANDLING.

    good question and i am glad you brought this up t-gunz.

    I only mentioned steroids because i assumed he was using. I have more natural trainees using slingshot than people on steroids.

    good answer!

    It's totally depenednt upon your personal goals. Some do a 10 week cycle and stay off for 6 months, some do 10 weeks on and 10 weeks off. Others never go off. You must do whats right for your goals.

    I'm sorry I must have missed this question. No the 12 sets do not include warm up sets.

    Keep in mind that 12 work sets is a lot. At the present, my wife and I are only doing 8 sets per major body part. Again, warm up sets not included.

    It all boils down to finding how many sets you do best with given you do not exceed 12 sets a week. That's what I have been trying to explain to ranging but I don't think he understands.

    I have yet to see anyone benefit from doing more that 12 intense work sets per week. For some 12 sets is too many!

    slingshot methdology is great.... finding what pattern of reloading/deloading works best for you is key... a well as switching rep ranges and exercises through blasts... great routine

    Ive never used the Slingshot method but I am a HUDGE fan of the IRON MAN HIT and that's in the same category. Ill never go back to workking each muscle once a week and working out 5 days(1 or 2 muscles each day). Using this type of workout I get stronger every workout and grow much faster

    The original IRONMAN HIT was void of rest-pause and more effective IMO than the version Dewayne (IRONMAN) posted. With Slingshot you can also workout only 3 days per week using few sets and mostly compound exercises. You can also hit the muscle twice a week. It's set up in a way to accomodate everyone's needs.

    Note: I was the originator of the IRONMAN HIT. Dewayne took my ideas, added rest-pause and post them on the web. It was a mess!

    Not sure which version I was using but it is the one posted in "Various Training Techniques". I was gonna look at the sling shot but the Iron Man worked so well for me I didnt see a need to change. I was getting stronger every week and loved my results. The Slingshot article is basically a book and I have just been lazy. Im gonna look it over now and see what its all about. If you did create the Iron man THANK YOU!!! I cannot tell you how many people I gave it to and were shocked, and upset they hadnt gotten it sooner. ITS THE REAL DEAL!!!

    Your welcome. The IRONMAN is very similar to DC Training in that you only train 3 days per week and hit each muscle every 3 rd or 4th day. But, no rest-pause-only straight sets! In general, 3-5 work sets per body part are performed per body part.

    Slingshot can be the same thing if you chose but after 8 weeks of training you decrease training volume for 2 week before going back to more volume. That's pretty much all there is to it. Simple, yet effective and user friendly.
