Well why don't you try GVT.....then you can tell me how it works for you.
Boris, this is my second day.....i'm ....yea pretty much suffering and eating a tonne.

at least u r not suffering mentally mate.

and also, why are u back with boris???

Mmmm......

I'm DEFINITELY suffering physically and mentally.....Boris makes you overtrain, all russian routines, make you overtrain. That's how it works. The Americans advocate gradual progression, strengthening weaker bodyparts, eliminating sticking points with speed. Russians, train to make you stronger, wif solid training. I tink the Americans work with the technicalities, but the Russians just do it with plain direct training.

They use volume to kill, not weights. Then they give you a break, and make you come back with an even MORE difficult version of the routine. Smolov, Russian Squat Routine, Boris, they all have 2 versions. A beginner phase and the more advanced phase.

You're DEFINITELY gonna suffer, every way. Walking up the stairs to the gym, is already a mental war man....staring at the weights,thinking "maybe i can do one set less" .....all these come into the head when U do Boris.

And i'm goin back with Boris, cuz the last time I didn't feel it was very difficult, so this time I wanna do it again, with higher weight percentages to try out. Also Hari Raya comin, meaning lotsa friend's house to visit. Meaning lotsa food! FREE FOOD!

lol.. man.. u make me even more tempted to try boris hahaha. u read advance GVT b4? GVT is.. kinda rubbish IMHO. 10x10 aint gonna do much. advance GVT 10x5-3 will do much more strength increase and myofribillar hypertrophy. so either boris or advance GVT. not sure yet

I think I've read more routines that coaches and lifters made up than anybody really cares to read. I think GVT just sounds damn cool, I'd try it for it's cool factor name

Wel if you're goin to try Boris, I wish you;

"Good luck, don't break anything, try not to hurt yourself (impossible) and pray before you workout"

And you MIGHT wanna quit smoking this time, cuz with Boris, it can get PRETTY intense, the deadlifts and squats. Pretty dammed intense.

dude. long time for me to chg. fastest is 2008.

wtf?
no seriously..wtf

Dear pizzaboy,

Your work out is very tough as I can see. It resembles a power lifter work out. No offense, but you look very small in terms for your body size and extremely toned for a power lifter. Do you take protein supplement?

Sorry if I've insulted you in anyway. I just find it very odd.

Thanks in advance,


Yours sincerely,

Ken

Comments
*Definitely getting easier now, my legs healed, body adapted pretty fast. I'm happy. Deadlifts feel stronger today.

*Since I'm not doing much back work cept for deadlifts, I'll start to incorporate barbell rows or pull-ups by FEEL next week

*I daren't mess around with my legs, cuz they seem to have a hard time recovering. I hope all becomes better next week. It's actually okay now, it's healed and isn't sore no more. Just they don't feel strong.

*Too much food, definitely doesn't do you good on the energy department. I felt lethargic after my benches. I think it's more of proper balance of food that does the trick, not eating in excess.

Added on October 14, 2007, 2:02 amQuestion : Yes, I do take supplements. If you're wondering if it works, I have no doggone clue. However, I believe it's better to have, than not have.

Odd Wonder:

I train like a powerlifter, because I can't find an weightlifting routine that I can follow. Most weightlifting routines, require you to snatch a lot, but I've not learnt how to snatch. Plus because I like squatting and deadilfting heavy,but I hate the pump so I follow a powerlifter's routine. Volume to little to feel that pump, but should build dense muscles. I hope...

Oh yea, I hate the pump because on major bodyparts, especially the back and legs, this pump is actually annoying.

Secondly, I may train with a pl'ers routine, but I don't eat like one. Food ain't that cheap ye know. Good food I mean. I don't wanna overload my calories by overly 2000 pts and go overfat. I'm already taking like 4000 calories a day with no weight gain. Upping it to 5000 will mean a bit more munneh.

Anyway........I've also made a blog regarding my training. It's better there, since I can have my own choice of what is posted and everything. It also looks better I feel. Head on over to getstronger.wordpress.com if you wanna check it out. There're videos there too.

might b goin for sukma 2008 .....see how things go...parents object, but i honestly wanna try it out.

JEEBUS CHRIST !!! HOLY MOTHER OF............

btw, what Deadlifts are those?

This post has been edited by King83: Mar 5 2008, 01:58 PM

Nope. Used to do that, but now I only do that when I'm attempting a PR or matching my previous PR.


Yes powerlifters obviously need spotters. I tink pl'ers need spotters much more than bb'ers. Ever seen a pl meet without spotters spotting the squatter?

Those deadlifts are snatch grip deadlifts. Kinda like, wide grip. It's harder than the normal grip deadlifts because your grip is really wide and the R.O.M increases
