    My Off-Season Mass routine

    I think they are working the tris but also working the chest. If you have already reached failure on multiple exercises. why risk overtraining the muscle and instead swap to an isolated triceps movement? Its just an opinion on how to get a more overall physique with giving your arms a more...

    My Off-Season Mass routine

    Thats is what i was trying to say, have less working sets and look at adding in another exercises for different muscle group (triceps when doing Chest). 3 working sets till failure for over 45mins is harsh on your system, unless your diet and sleep is perfect. I believe over training is very...

    Sorry i meant triceps with your chest workout, to finish them off. Close grip press on shoulder day will work your chest as well, you could put that on your chest day.

    My Off-Season Mass routine

    So trying to stick between 45-60 mins and adding in some triceps and biceps which he isn't doing is not a good idea. Then that's all ya had to say not go on a who is right rampage and not answer the question that I put out about 5 time. I think adding biceps and triceps in will make a...

Will it make you feel better if say I was wrong and you are right. Lets just give this guys some workout advice, add some...

    My Off-Season Mass routine

    Thats is exactly right people all all different and studies are all different just like i said in each post. So please tell me why dropping down to 2 sets from 3 and adding some triceps to chest and some back to bis is a bad idea? I have stated this idea numerous times with nothing coming from...

    Don't even know why this argument is going on, you can find information to make anything sound legit. There are studies to say that balance bands work though it was later proven to be placebo affect. Placebo affect on it's own makes up on average over 20% of positive results This is the advice...

    If you did not read Bazza i said i am on the phone and have no studies on hand, so i quickly searched a link. There is no need to be a keyboard warrior and knock on everything with nothing but "trust me i don't use studies cause they are a waste of time". How about some real information to help...

    I also remember reading correct me if i am wrong but acute Cortisol also starts affecting protein synthesis so it does not waste muscle but still has an effect on muscle tissue.

    My Off-Season Mass routine

    So would not the safest way to avoid any negative affects on muscle mass to keep training under 60mins? If adding in an extra 3 exercises to a gym session (adding triceps to chest) could you not drop from 3 working sets down to 2 sets and add in triceps. Instead of risking cortisol and doing...

    My Off-Season Mass routine

    I was only advising to add triceps to chest this would mean he would need more time. To create more time he could drop the amount of working sets to 2 giving him.plenty of time to add in triceps to chest and biceps to back. The science was only there to explain why I thought that would be a...

    My Off-Season Mass routine

    As I said I basin this on having maximum strength for each set which needs high ATP level which takes atleast 2 mins to restore good levels. Also based on not realeasing cortisol as it feeds on muscle tissue. You can alsway do what ever you want these are just the scientific studies of how...

    This is also just my opinion on what I have read and tried. What works for me might nit work for you and nearly all my gains are foodand sleep related. Sorry for spelling mistakes I am on the mobile. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

    My Off-Season Mass routine

    If you could show me studies for 3 or more working sets for a natural bodybuilders I would love to.read them. I not being a dick I would actually love to read them. Most studies conclude that the difference in set range does make much if a difference in size. Do you agree that cirtsiol is...

    My Off-Season Mass routine

    Everyone trains differently. I would drop working sets down to 1-2 and add triceps to chest and Bis to back. Once you have lifted your maximum weight at any exercise, unless you can lift more the next set you will not reach Max contraction therefore only wasting fuel for your next exercise. As...

    July Calf Challenge

    Biceps can be easily overtrained where as calves can be trained everyday without being overtrained due to the muscle structure from.walking on them everday of your life. Apparently ! Its just what I read a while ago when trying to get them to grow. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
