    Hi everyone. First of all I want to say how much I enjoy being part of this board and I want to thank everybody who regularly contributes to these forums. There is a wealth of knowledge and experinece here that I feel is un paralleled. That brings me to my point.

    When a member asks a question about when to train, how often, what body parts, how many times per day, heavy or light, high reps low reps....etc, there is always a plethora of intelligent responses. Within those responses there is invariably alot of discrepancy in opininons on what will work best. The point I'm making is, differen't things work for differen't people. Don't be afraid of change, don't be afraid to do something you've never done and don't dismiss something because it is against the grain. At the same time, when you have finally decided on a program that you feel will work...give it a fair shot before making changes. If you are happy with your progress, stick with it...if it ain't broke, don't fix it. BUT, if your progress is much slower than you had anticipated, make a change....maybe even a radical change.

    In summary, read every opinion that is presented and do not dismiss anything that is being said. The advice that is given here is sound and produces results, it's up to you to figure out which is going to give you the best results.

    Good luck and train hard.

    Pete

    If this board was around back in the 80's when I started lifting, things would've been a lot different. I learned from Muscle and Fitness back then and this board is a lot better.

    Anyone read the book, "Who moved my cheese?"

    Never read it but we watched the accompanying video in an ethics class semester. It's got a great message if you can appreciate the simplicity of it.

    Great Post Pete!! Mind over muscle.

    Talking Pete your right

    I used to train 5 times a week and did up to 20 sets for back and really overtrained

    I met this guy that showed me a total body workout using only 1 exercice per body part and 2 sets taken to absolut failure and it really works for me.

    I train 2 times a week using this methode, but the first time he told me about this i told him to fuck off, and that he was crazy.

    Man i am not gonna make gains that way, well its been a good 8 months since i have started this, i have a lot more time on my hands and my body looks better then ever.

    Pete you got it right, experience is the only way to go, you gotta try new stuff, stuff that looks weird sometimes and really goes the opposite of what you been told.

    I used to train my biceps with 12 sets 3-4 exercices no wonder they never grew too much.

    I lower all my weights too and concentrated on froms, man they all went down by at least 20 pounds, but now i sure feel the workout.

    Seriously, id just like to give a big THANKS to everyone on this board that takes the time to help other people with questions.

    As for me, this board and more particularly this forum has kept my motivation up and my workouts from becoming stagnant. I'm progressing a ton faster than I ever would have without this board, and it gives me the drive I need to lift everyday.... Thanks again.

    Knowledge is power in anything, bodybuilding is no exception.

    Before i can to this board i was ill-informed and naive, after 6 months of a daily log on i made the educated decision about AS (look back on my first posts and you'll get a good laugh) thanks again to THE BEST BOARD ON THE WEB!!!!!
