Back to the gymnast BB comparison.

A gymnast will NEVER add weight to the pullup, a BB destroys the movement with added weight.

Check out pics of gymnasts, do you still feel you need to add weight?

Nice thread Fadi

So just try and increase your reps when you can on Pull Ups instead of adding weight Markos?

If Max wasnt so modest, I would put a pic of his back up. Nick saw his back on Saturday and was most impressed.

He cleans, shrugs, deadlifts, snatches, rows heavy weights, very heavy weights.

When it comes to chins, he does them dead stop, dead hang, at the end of his sessions. He pauses for up to 2 seconds between reps.

He can do over 20 in that fashion.

Its just the one exercise where I notice lifters are using the wrong muscles to initiate the pull, mainly due to the added weight.

Just an observation.

Oh, and before you guys say I dont add weight because I'm weak at them lol, I have done 20 @ 90 kg in the fashion described above, and 5 reps with 40kg strapped to me to shut up a fattie who had a long list of excuses why he couldnt chin.

They definitely feel much better without weight.

If you want to test back strength, powerclean something.

Hey fadi, great routine. I've been on it nearly 4 weeks now and seen some good (for me) results.

I think the 6 weeks on the loose fat routine was 6 weeks well spent.

Thanks
Mike.

Good to hear Mike! Keep it up mate

Ok, I'm nearly at the end of this 12 week course, I'll have to add a week or 2 as I had a week off over Christmas.

So far I've put on 3 kilo's, an inch on my stomach (thanks to Christmas and New Year) and about 1/2 an inch on my chest.

When I did the 6 week maintain muscle lose fat routine, I lost 4 inch from the stomach and around 4 kilo.
So judging by that, 1 inch on the stomach = 1 kilo.
That means a gain of 2 kilo of muscle

I feel great and Shell, (my lovely wife) tells me my muscles are alot harder.

That could have been better, but my diet for around 3 weeks (over Christmas and New Year) went out the window.

Great program Fadi,

Cheers,

Mike.

My 12 week initial programe is
coming to a close in about 3-4weeks.

I shall put Fadi (& his method to the
test) after 4 weeks!

Thanks.

Hey k-21,
as far as I'm concerned you can't go wrong with Fadi. Just listen and do what he tells you, and bob's your uncle!

I've made great improvements since I started to follow his advice. Diet and exercise, it's all good

Good luck,

Mike.

k_21 · 30-04-2010, 02:24 PM

Mike,

Yes Fadi is the man I suspect.

He's got so much knowledge that
I don't think that he even knows that he
'knows'...!!!

Anyway, my eating is not up to par
just yet. I'm still working on that one!

Will switch to Fadi's routing after 4 weeks
and taking body measurements to see
how far I've come in my first 12 week
program.

Thanks
Devante.
