Any routines in mags or routines from the pro's probably wont work for you. You can try them but they aren't designed for you, ya have to experiment and find what works best for you. The routine from the magazine trains everything twice a week and would burn me out forsure. I dont understand how you can get "huge and ripped" when you are working large muscles 3 days apart, the rest isn't there. It may work for some but I wouldn't even consider trying that one.

Agreed! That schedule would put me in the hospital!

You know what happens when a magazine gets a routine from a pro that they don't have good pics to go with? They change the routine to match th pics.

The magazine routines are bullshit. I know all the top guys in the industry, and basically we all agree...the mags are all shit.

I am working for a new magazine, and if we publish a routine, it's actually going to work. I'm fed up with magazines.

I train and frequently talk to a couple pro's and their workouts are never like you see in the mags, the ones I know work every muscle once a week not 3 days apart.
