Hey, people are trying to help you. It doesn't matter what you want, or don't want to hear. You will get advice that is tailored to you. If you don't like this style of responses, there are plenty of forums where people will cheer you on. The internet is huge, you could easily get lost.

Austinite. Please read the original post. I asked a very, very simple question. Which gear approach would be better - this one, or this one.

If I was disagreeing with answers I had gotten to that question, you would have a point. Unfortunately, no one has even attempted to begin answering it.

If you have an opinion, please, share.

Maybe you're not getting the answer because you're on the defense. Try losing the "I don't want to debate this or that-attitude" and maybe you'll see things differently. Give people a chance before you shoot them down. You're coming off as a dick. Maybe not your intention, but you are. Just reading your replies deterred me.

Fair point. My approach to training is quite alien to common knowledge ~ and hearing about it often puts veterans of the sport on the defense. I believe it's the best approach there is. I don't want to debate it (I'd rather just hear opinions regarding the question I came here to learn more about). But if you'd like to, go ahead and read a little of the website and we can discuss it.

I do four exercises and four exercises only. Bench, Squat, Deadlifts and Weighted Chin-ups. I do 2 sets of each exercise. Maximum 5-7 reps. I rest about 10 minutes in between sets. And that's it for the week. I also eat quite a bit differently than most. For a natural body-builder, with such a minimal time commitment ~ ~ Arnold himself would be impressed with my results (pictured above). Speaking very generally, popular/common knowledge vastly underestimates the importance of recovery time, and vastly overestimates the importance of training frequency and duration.

And again, please, if you have an approach regarding which approach I should take with my first cycle, please do share.
