***best ever training style***

[the big 1]

so you guys dont use a log book or have a set routine...?

i used to just set out what muscles to train on certain days, then just thrash the hell out of it...that worked well up to a certain point like most programs i suppose...but then i got overtrained and started to feel like shit...gains stopped...

now im trying to structure everthing so i dont platue as fast...

[MACHINE5150]

I use a log book, but don't do anything fancy..
Typical week is

Monday - Back/Biceps/Shoulders
Wednesday - Legs/Abs
Friday - Chest/Triceps

3-4 sets of 8-12, last set of each muscle group is always to failure..

always do 6 workouts (5 for legs) in 60 minutes then just recently follow up with 15 min cardio...

i always stick to the basics, focus on form and try to incorporate Negatives when possible.. Put on about 20-24lbs of muscle in the past year using nothing but protien shakes doing this.. Problem is im a smoker and a drinker on the weekends (I'm Irish what do you want from me) so I had put off Cardio until recently...

Ive always been a believer that your DIET is more important then your TRAINING, especially if you got proper genetics/supplementation

good gains for a year, have you just started out ?

i also use negatives, but only on a 3 day split as they tax my CNS majorly.

i think diet and training is a 50/50 thing, your diet can be spot on but you have poor training and vice versa, both are equally important to me...

i just started again.. i trained from when i was 16 till i was 21.. had a job that required 12 hour days 6 days a week for five years... so i just started in the gym again a year ago.. I love muscle memory.. i'm just about where i was six years ago.. gonna do my first cycle in 6 years starting in a couple weeks..

I agree it is 50/50.. what i should have said is diet is too often neglected.. atleast in my own opinion.. that is the hard thing to get around.. training has always come natural to me and easy to others.. it is done in a few hours a week... Dieting is something you have to do every day five or six times a day.. constantly in the back of your mind..

...

I set out my routines every 6 - 8 weeks... find it too annoying to carry a log book.
