I'm a lazy noob.
All I know is just to follow a tried and tested programme for ectomorphs and don't fxck with it.
And since I'm not training for competition (I just want to put on some meat and perform better in casual sports), so I can afford to be a lazy bum... I don't like to think too much for training. Simplicity is beauty.
It's my diet that suck anyway. 1 year and only 3kg. That's what I need to concentrate on, instead of meddling with what not programmes.
Pizzaboy,
You mind elaborating more about the difference btwn Western and Chinese training methods?
i'm curious to learn. Who knows, i might get to apply some principles into my normal workouts.

QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Mar 23 2009, 01:40 AM) Western-Extremely concerned about the perfect routine. Constantly seeking the "best" rep range and weight in order to achieve their goals. Chinese-Works more on the weaknesses to eliminate bottlenecks. Template may say A-B-C-D, but if there's an issue with "C", maybe "C" will be emphasized, or "F" will be implemented to assist with the proper execution of "C". In BB'ing terms; Leg day maybe; Squat, Leg Extensions, Reverse back extensions, Leg press. But if the bodybuilder, finds himself wanting to work a bit more on the quads , he may incorporate front squats instead for a change. They can change change their exercises. Close to Westside Barbell's highly marketed methods. Sounds very logical to me. I thought that's how all oly lifters around the world train. I've not reach the level that bottleneck begin to show up yet. But I'm keeping this concept in mind. It'll prove to be useful someday when I hit a threshold. Anyway, how has the Chinese method worked for you? This post has been edited by iamyuanwu: Mar 23 2009, 02:19 AM |

Dan,
I didn't mean cramp or pulls during workout. (I do warm up)
I meant during other times when I'm not working out. Such as when i'm bending over to pick up a pencil or what not.
