At my 50's I train every part once a week,following Mike's advice and getting amazing results.
I do cardio for days off.
How much volume do u use per bodypart?
@@equalizer2233I wanna know this too. Soon as my legs stop being sore I’m starting again, 1 day on 3 days off
@@skywayradio787 yup , after a few days the muscle long since healed .
@@equalizer2233 You will do ONE set. You can do a warm-up set or two if needed. But you will do ONLY one actual working set.
Example is my leg workout. I start with leg extensions with a weight heavy enough that I can do 10-12. But ALWAYS to failure. This is immediately followed by leg press with a weight heavy enough to do 4-6 reps. When I canøt do more, I will use my hands to help me raise the weight so my legs can lower it slowly. I will do this until I can't do it any more. Only then am I done. 1 set. If I want to warm up, I can get in the leg press to warm up with a compound movement. This is with a moderate weight for a few reps. You don't need to reach failure or even push yourself here, you will need that energy. Now the kicker is the duration. 2-4 seconds up and down, slow controlled and with no jerking. If you hate the couting, do it like a Dane and when you lift the weight you think: "one case of beer" and when you lower the weight you go: "one case of beer."
Have fun mate.
@@equalizer2233no volume, everything is hit once every 6-8 days
Hi ! Mick ( Wolf ) I first trained with you at your Sydenham Gym . I was 28 at the time and Les Shorter introduced me. Les was one of the few people to win a Novice competition at their first attempt which is rare. At 74 now I can still pull, push and lift a 100 Kilo's. I still follow the basic routine you taught me nearly 50 years ago and I've never had any serious injuries touch wood. I'm still in good shape good shape with 18 inch Biceps it's great when your down the Gym and a youngster says your strong Mr. !!! they say Mr. because it's a term of respect. I have used the Gym as a form medicine when I've not been well, I get back to it using the same gradual building up of strength, when someone has upset me I use it as a form of therapy. I hit the metal instead of them and at the end of the session I'm usually to tired to go round and give them a slap. Anyway nice to see your still around thanks for all the advice it's kept me in good stead. Hope you and your family are all well Best Regards Graham Newman
Wow. You are so genuine it's very wonderful things. I will keep this in mind. ❤I am 26 yr old 1 yr since I joined gym . Lose 16 kg . Now 73 kg. Trying to cop of every odd. Thank you for inspiring me. ❤😊
How old is Mike
What does your program look like?
You are right on spot. I am 50 and I have been training this way since I was 25. I tried training my body parts twice a week and I did not see the gains I was expecting and I was exhausted. Once I started training each body part once a week, I saw huge gains. The only body part I train 4x a week is abs and I train it like any muscle in the body.
As a 40yr old that has been bodybuilding since 20 my experience is the same.
@@NateWaldronAs a 41yo training since I was 13 yo, my experience is the same. I grow only by once per week
Funny same age & started same age too !… it’s a lifestyle !
42 tried ppl x2 and it’s exhausting. Manual job too…forget it.
Which program or split do you recommend?
I've learned so much from Big Mike. My pumps from the movement style he promotes have been so helpful. I imitate his training out of admiration. And it's simply been helpful. Thanks again for helping me reach my bodybuilding potential! 🐉💯
Yo......this dude is so eloquent and articulate no wonder peiple gravitate to him. Im old school and 45 and subscribed simply because he is someone i would listen to. Thanks homie
After 10 years of working out i started watching his videos and I’ve change so much that is unreal I’m using less steroids eating less not lifting as heavy as I used to and I look way way better, thank you for the videos brother god bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Shouldn’t be using any steroids
@@ryanranard5187 that’s your choice and I agree nobody should be using steroids but I made mines just like everyone else
This man is 100% on point. On every single mark 100% on point.
I tried that one body part per day workout many years ago and annihilated that part like you said. I got the best results I've ever had in my life. I'm a lot older now (77) and only go to the gym twice a week - half the body one day, the other half the next. Mostly in the 15-20 rep range for the joints. It's actually enough to maintain some semblance of a physique.
Well then you're training wrong - if you said it's some semblance of a physique irrespective of your age, then you need to ADAPT.
Bro he’s 77 years old. @@PatrickStar19872
@@PatrickStar19872yea let’s see what your ass is doing at 77 😂
@@PatrickStar19872 There is no right or wrong here. It all depends on what your goals are. I have a better physique at 77 than probably 90% of men my age do. I get good results considering the workouts I do.
@@donaldwilson5693 Ofcourse you do, you lift weights. If your goal is to not be sedantary, then that's easy. So the answer is, it's wrong to not change your plan.
I didn’t realise that I needed to hear this, until I heard it. Perfect sense. Love it.
Spot on! I've trained 1 body part per day since forever and it's been working for me to this day. Mike's said it best, and he's said it in the past. DO WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU!
So glad I found this video. I recently got back into the gym and I've been going regularly for a month now. I'm on the routine the trainer set up for me but I've been watching videos on how to gain muscle and strength. You're desd on with the amount of videos out there that don't offer anything new. Very few point out how different plans work for different people. I'm 49 and my goal is to look kick ass by 50. Not looking to compete but want to look as if I could start.
And once again 💯💯💯 truth! Nobody saying it like big mike! Respect!
This is what Mike mentzer and Dorian Yates talked about in the 80s and 90s I tried this method of training it is great stimulated muscles to muscular negative and positive failure and thank you big Mike for your channel for teaching the Next Generation how to train proper
Mike you are spot on. I use to obliterate my parts twice a week and I was regressing. After listening to Mike Mentzer’s advice and your videos, I train less frequently and from week to I am getting stronger and seeing the changes. My recovery level is spot on. Thank you my brother.
“Obliterate my parts” lmao
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been training since i was 15 and i am 51 now, ive tried them all, the best for me has always been 1 body part per week, but i smash it for an hour, il finish of with some calves or abs every other day with one exercise 100 reps like a rest pause, natural or with minimal gear and have got great gains, now im 51 i train similar but shorter time 30min but superset as i could not be stuffed training for over half an hour, weekends i walk or ride my push bike, lots of stretches and mobility exercises these days, but i use to see it with my friends, they trained 6 days a week with high frequency and the looked skinny, i always looked fuller and thicker, for us it was about getting big, nothing else, no compitition bodybuilding just a hobby. 1 body per week is king for me in my opinion.
Couldn't agree with you more. All my life, I was training with programs such as full body, push-pull-legs , 5x5 and things like these.. the past 2 years I do a 5 day bro split and my gains skyrocketed. But, a bro split might not work very well for a beginner .. I came to understand that the more advanced you are , the less frequently you have to workout. I know it may sound crazy for most people, but that's the reality.
If it takes you a full hour to do 1 body part , you probably aren't training with enough intensity
@@kw1213huh? 😂
@@kw1213if you can train full body in a workout you are not training each body part intense enough.
@@Chopperdod77 why the confusion? If you are only training one body part, you don't need a full hour for that.
I made all my gains training each body part once per week. Tried switching to twice a week, but I never recovered properly and I always felt that I wasn’t training each muscle hard enough in each workout. However, the empirical evidence does show that higher training frequency causes more growth. That being said, I do believe that not everyone’s body works the same way.
What does that look like in a week? How did you take rest days? There are more body parts than days in a week🤔
@DavidMccallister65
This is what i do man
Monday - chest
Tuesday- back
Wednesday- legs
Thursday - shoulders and abs
Friday- arms
@@gorandsands ah ok. Thanks brother. So you take Saturday and Sunday as rest days?
@@DavidMccallister65
I'm 48 ..... I have to 🤣
@@gorandsands lol I hear you. I'm 39 so I'm knocking on the door but typically, in the past, I felt better if I only rested one day a week. Usually on Sunday or Weds
I was training with high frequency and heavy weight and I was tapped out. I switched to a body part split two weeks ago and feel great. You're spot on!
Love it is like saying stick to the basic is has work for many generations of body builders the Olds school wat is the best way thanks for coming out and setting it straight forward.
You should be called "Iron Preacher" mate! It's impressive listening to you and seeing the reality. Because of a major surgery I am about to get and I new job I've started, where I am working night-shifts, I have stated missing workouts... and since then, I have noticed that I am getting stronger and bulkier... thanks to the rest I am giving my body. Today, I have started the "bro split"; been doing PPL for a few years, and I am going to following what you say cos it makes sense... Cheers and keep the preaching going!
Always great advice. Thanks Mike!
I agree with Mike. I'm a big believer in training at the frequency that allows you to recover fully so you can attack that same muscle with intensityfully and be able to train with extreme intensity again.
There are days no matter the amount of rest where it's jusl not there and probably better to either stop and go home or turn it into a light deload day. Some of my best workouts have been after two or even three weeks of rest. Quality sleep and time off is very healing. Just my opinion.
Being almost 50, I workout once a week, and it has worked out for me. Giving more time for my body to heal, and grow.
This guy did to many roids. He makes no sense
I am 50 year Mike and i workout 3 day and one day off and 3 days workout and one day off .Roger 🇳🇴and Thank you for all this great info 💪💪
Outstanding as usual, Thank you for priceless information
5 day a week bro split is the best routine I’ve ever tried, and I’ve tried them all. I could care less if 99% of guys on Reddit think it’s stupid. This is what works the best for me.
I feel like my muscle actually gets thoroughly worked.
I get to focus on individual muscle groups and bring up lagging muscle groups.
My recovery is much better.
I actually look forward to each day because it’s been a whole week since I experienced that particular workout.
My recovery was terrible on other routines and I had terrible symptoms of overtraining.
Can you tell me about what the sets and reps are? I know Mike doesn’t ever really say much on specific sets and reps because we go off feel. But I come from sets/reps and I’m trying to move away from that mindset but I would love to know how you incorporate your training like Mike does
@@jclifts6650
12 sets for chest
12 sets for back
10 sets for shoulders
9 sets for triceps
6 sets for biceps
15 sets for legs
Pick a few exercises for each muscle group to divide up sets.
3 min rest breaks for big lifts
2 min rest breaks for small lifts
6-12 rep range
Work each muscle once per week
Train 5 days per week
Abs twice per week. 3 sets each time.
Love your words. I always do once in a weekwish thing and I ma happy enough with it.
I really enjoyed this rant man. Thank you. There’s so much bs. This info really hit home for me.
Thank you very much for telling it as it is Mike.
I actually like this video you articulate the importance of thinking about what you're doing and not following wannabe trainers blindly. I'm always looking for ways to grow smarter in my lifting journey. It gives me confidence and comfort when I hear a guy like this give important details about how we're not all one-size-fits-all. Sure he's rough around the edges but he's speaking the truth and I'd much rather have the truth than listen to somebody that could cause me to stumble.
It's a fresh of breath air for people like Mike since I think EXACTLY like him. I hope one day to meet Mike I believe he'll like how I look as well.
Another Wycked sermon! Keep preaching brother! WYCKED NATION! 👊🏼
Only church I will be part of !!!!
Loved this. Speaks so much truth.
There only 2 people online I take advice from.. your one of them! Thank you for you great knowledge
I have started making gains again after a years long plateau by increasing my frequency.
I do the same amount of volume I did before, but the I am able to increase my intensity. I can go much harder on my third and fourth exercise when they are on a different day and I am not walking around sore all week.
Mad respect for you and your channel! #awesome
Always did my own thing and it works everytime been lifting for years and know what works for my body. I look up different exercises and forms to switch it up but never did anyones training program.
Amen brother! Same is true with nutrition; have to wonder how anybody survived before the internet and UA-cam told us what to eat and not to eat.
Thank you so much for this video. I needed to hear this. Thank you
Mikes advice has been spot on since his first video! 🔥I’ve accelerated my development 10 fold by applying his movement style.
Hello Mike ,I listen to your advice it help I a lot thank you so much ❤️ from Laguna Hills CA.
100% agree. Statements like they are making rank right up there with videos say the best and worst exercise for a body part. I have found so many times what they call the worst is one of my foundation exercises. Each body is different. Experiment and find what's best for your body.
The best results i ever had is when i was doing Bro split, one body part per day. And i started to combine back and chest on Mondays, which gave me one more rest day and 72 hours until shoulders on Thursdays. This is still a bro split, just combining two days into one. The criticism of bro split are that you then only get one session per week per muscle group, which argument is that it's not enough. Well with this regime, if i feel like it, I can add arms on the back/chest day to get some more arms, i can also add some shoulder presses for some more shoulders. And on Arm day which is Friday, i can add 2-3 back and chest exercises if i feel like it. But keeping it simple seems to be the best for me, i grow faster when i let the body rest for long periods. And I'm 47. I always get 72 hours no matter what, and that is pretty perfect for me.
Ive been training one body part a week from day 1. I dabbled in a couple other ways and gave it time but for me i like and get better results doing it the way i was tought. And i love it which is huge for the mind. Only thing ive changed is listening to my body when i should take rest days. Im not in my 20's anymore lol.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ,you have no idea how long I've been waiting for some common sense 💪💪🏴🏴
It's nice to see it works well for many people. Shoulders and arms I do one hard day and a couple small days thrown in. Major groups, just once👌💪
Mike is 100% spot on in everything he says
Keep keeping it wyked real, Big Mike.
I need to hear this. I’m back at it this way. I was stronger and looked better at one body part a week
THANK YOU MIKE!🎉
Hello first time on your channel. Makes a lot of sense brother. at 51 i am starting to train. lol, should have done this 30 years ago. man, so many different messages on how what works and what does not work. its crazy. so i decide to stay with a lot of the routines i learned in Jersey 30 year ago. You got some badass forearms brother. I am gonna check out your videos for tips and trick. thanks
Best news ever for me. I always feel if i do PPL or any other split besides pro (or bro) split, i always feel like all i did was hit everything at about 70% of what i could do rather than if i had of just spent my time blasting something like chest and concentrating on only chest on chest day. After watching this, i am going back to one body part a day.
I've also been told pyramiding the weight up is not ideal because you are strongest and freshest at the beginning of the session. Most people say do one warmup set with 135lbs for bench and then go right to your 80-90% of your 1rm and work there, otherwise you are fatiguing yourself and not taxing the muscle. however, I am way too afraid of tearing something so i'd rather just do some lighter sets and pyramid up. I may be leaving some gains on the table but i have been lifting, making decent gains being careful like this focusing on pump instead of training like with 80-90% of my 1rm risking injury where all i feel is ligaments and tendons and bones.
I've always been confused watching someone like Sam Sulek (spelling?) going all out with partial reps, throwing full stacks around not worrying about form (it seems,not judging) and wonder should I just train this way? Mike seems to show in his videos a more smooth rocking style keeping tension on the muscle and it seems safer to me. I would love to see Mike react to one of Sam's videos to hear his opinion. Sam is, after all, Jacked and what he's doing obviously works but it seems SO different than how most other bodybuilders train (except for Branch and Johnny).
You have to remember that Sam sulek is on gear
I just train frequency by how I feel. If the strength isn’t there why not take a extra day and come back fresh and hard!!
I must say I recently lowered my volume of sets (still doing my whole body twice in eight days, two different workouts twice). My body has responded better than before. I do three sets (intense, 6 to 10 reps to failure each time, on my first exercise for a specific muscle, and one set for the two variations I do after. One day in and one day off. Im almost 51, and I know my recovery ability. Works for me.
I do back to back, back . But 1 more compound, the second more lat focused. Less load more focusing on movement . Backs huge. All thanks to this guy .
Same One day width focused one day thickness focused
"not trying to be mean or anything, but you guys are literally trying to come up with stupid shit" 🤣 cracked me! Epic stuff! Lovin' it
I switched to the bro split years ago ( 1 body part a day). I have the best gains since. Keep PSA's coming. Mad respect, Big Mike.
Mentzer actually discusses warming up joints and doing 2 warm up feel sets before the One heavy set.
Hi Mike, can you please make a video and clarify if there is a difference between natural and enhanced lifters in terms of frequency and how often a muscle should or must be trained per week. I'm pretty new and totally confused because one says one thing and another says something else. I bet that many respond to this comment as well and everyone writes something different. But I believe in what you say because you make an honest impression and therefore your opinion and your view would be very important to me because right now I don’t know what I do, I don’t know what I should do and I don’t know who I should listen to as a natural (no trt etc) 35 year old beginner. Thank you very much
great suggestion
I would love to see that too
“Shoulders up to their ears” hahahaha you’re literally hilarious 😂
Yuuuup I hit the gym now w a trainer and ea part is hit 1 x a week over t,w,th I now eat right, walk 7 to 10 miles a week, swim 4x a week. Best muscle separation/definition I've ever had. You are SPOT ON.
How dare you speak so much truth. So brave. So bold. 😂
I found doing a body part a day twice a week gives a massive boost to muscle size 💪 I was actually doing 4-6 reps heavy and 6-8 reps if lighter , trying to protect my joints, good advice your video Cheers
I do the same. A PPL, one light day and one heavy day of each
God damn legendary Nautilus pullover behind you. What a gym!
Truth Frontal Talk for so many many imitators. I wish to be were you are to training in your Gym
Salute Blessings
I did switch to 1 workout per body part per week long ago and it worked great ! However now I'm old and have to work around many old injuries so now at 66 yrs old I train twice with moderate weights at best. I figure if I can't go as heavy as I'd like then adding another workout is better. So far so good
He just tells it as it is well done we need more real people like him in the world full stop !!!!
Thank u Mark.
@wyckedtraining tell me you're not talking about Paul carter at 4mins😅
I'm 51 years old old currently training 1 body part per week to absolute failure 4 weeks on 1 week of and couldn't agree more great advice.👍
Routine please?
@@HarrisIsACackleChamp53 here. I do chest and back on mondays, arms and legs on thursdays. Sometimes a little ab work. On off days I do 20-30 mins cardio (hometrainer, walking or jogging), but not on the day directly after a workout day. Sleep at least 8 hrs per night, low carb diet, vitamines and also doing IF (18/6).
Hahaha I truly enjoyed listening to this. Agree 💯 percent
Been watching you for some time now , your tips on connection , proper form and movement have been so helpful my training has improved so much .
Thanks Mike
I'm 42 with a bulging disc, Im about to start doing this with some jailhouse calisthenics routines on my off days.
Looking good brother, those dutch genetics going strong 💪
You are so right. I have been over training, heavy go to failure mix it up all crazy shit. Every time I get close to my goal weight, I tear something. Last was trying to bring up my hamstrings and hit them hard more often twice a week and bang two weeks on crutches because of that. Eased up body part a week rest more often and my body has ballooned. I like to train it's my thing but I have been over doing it.
How much can you recover? What's the goal? For bodybuilding personally I see the best results hitting major body parts twice a week depending on how I feel, look and quality of each session. I can go months without doing dedicated arm work if I'm really in a groove with back and chest. In that case I split my weekly sessions to blow out very specific regions or movements. Front/rear legs on different days. Upper chest mid chest, upper back/mid back. I'd only add in dedicated arm work approaching a contest or if they were lagging but that's also based on genetics as my arms and shoulders hyper-respond to the slightest stimulus.
I love when people just act like regular, humble, normal, logical, kind people. refreshing
good vid.
I think Seth Feroce in kinda recent video talked about frequency pretty on point. described what you can do, but always pointed that you should find out and know what works for you.
In my opinion everyone should watch that vid.
btw. Ive read Menzter books, and at least in those Ive read - you always have to warm up good :)
100% straight fact, thank you.
Push, pull, legs, day off, push pull arms. Working great for me, I did bro split for years, but hitting body parts twice a week I find better. But I do different exercise for the two pulls/push days so it's a different attack twice per week.
Your not natural tho you recover quicker
I am taking heed in your advice, because you obviously know your stuff, and if I looked even half as good as you when I am at your age, I'll be a happy chappy.
Bravo, Mike!
Love this rant. Fucking brilliant. This is the type of guy I would enjoy working out with.
For me personally what's been working for me lately was targeting 2 body parts on 2 days (biceps and chest. Another day back and Triceps) the other 2 days I hit legs 1 day and shoulders on the other day. I try to recover 2-3 days for each part I do 3-4 sets of 3 different exercises. moderate weight. So far so good
What Mike mentzer kept emphasizing was besides sufficient warm up, to use perfect form focusing on negatives followed by rest-pause sets. There are traditional weight training exercises that are not recommended anymore due to the high injury risk.
Very well said!!!
For me I train everything twice a week especially because it takes that much work for me but I'm also 36 yrs old, 5'6, 180 lbs, with a top out of 12 percent body fat when I'm not training, but I highly rep no more than 200 lbs when I do hypertrophy but then when I deload I go back to a more powerlifting regimen and drop volume but add more load, and only train each body part once a week and up my cardio, but it's taken me over 20 years to figure out what responds well for me, I don't train any heavier than 300 lbs on compound movements because I don't want to destroy my body and I still want to be able to hit the gym just as good when I'm say 50 or 70 years old, this is a really good topic and you spoke the truth really well
I train a body part once a week.
Seen amazing results, but then again, I've started using resistance bands.
Everyone is so different that it’s almost nonsensical to say what worked for me will work for you.
The experience I share lately is that I started lifting at home in 3rd grade and was in Gold’s by myself at 13. I’m 48 this year. I have tried almost every workout variation, including the usual Chest/Monday, Back/Tuesday, etc.
I did gain a fair amount of muscle over the years. I have been on “supplements.” When I did 1 part a week I was always so damn sore and tight. Loads of shoulder pain.
I switched to total body three days a week, which was odd for me at first. Lagging parts finally started catching up and the pain was gone. I’m not doing all 20+ sets of chest in one session and my tendons and ligaments are celebrating. If you are getting beat up in the gym, total body is at least worth a try.
It's bc of the schoenfield studies- many of them that show higher volume and frequency of training improves hypertrophy
I'm 50 and work one body part a day / Heavy and hard for 30min / treadmill 3 miles a day / 7 days a week and feel and look better than ever!
I'm also old school 😅 and love it.
Great vid. I've cut down my frequency. Immediately noticed I don't feel like shit 24/7
Best advice for all 😊
Overtraining is not just a waste of time, but the wear and tear on your joints and ligaments will catch up with you real quick!!
Facts I just started back hitting it hard seeing results & upping the weight on bench ended up hurting my shoulder & I immediately took a week off you gotta know when to chill 💯
Definitely feel that olympic and powerilfting frequency worked it's way into bodybuilding somehow, combined with people not truly going to failure on the sets, not truly obliterating the muscle during the workout for the week. Going to failure to the point of throwing up on hack squat... you won't want to hit legs for a week. There's no doing that again a few days later.
I train full body every time done it for years and years never done a split work out in my life
I like this guy.
Thank you Mike for your sane approach in the insane world of fitness of today. As far as frequency of each muscle group is concerned, one of the factors impacting it is the way people combine muscle group to be trained in one workout. E.g. if one performs push-pull-legs split training each bodypart once a week then he/she is actually training each muscle once a week. But if one combines e.g. antagonistic muscle groups in one workout (ag. chest+ back, shoulders + arms, legs) training each muscle directly once a week, he/she is actually training most muscle groups in the upper body twice a week, once directly and once indirectly. Do you prefer combining agonistic muscles (e.g. "pushing" muscles in one workout, pulling ones in another, legs in another workout still) or antagonistic groups (e.g. chest and back, biceps and triceps, etc.) in one workout? And does it matter, how we combine muscle groups to be trained together? All the best
Mike does one body part a day like most pro bodybuilders; sometimes adds small muscle to large one like chest + tris. He doesn’t do push pull legs.
@@analogcrunch4716 therefore Mike trains most bodyparts more than once a week - once directly and once indirectly (shoulders and triceps get involved indirectly on chest day, biceps on back day, back on leg day (e.g. when doing stiff-legged deadlifts) etc.
@@biglabradori would say so ive seen so many videos of Mike that it appears he separates back, chest, shoulders and legs - so assuming he has an arm day but also saw Mike do chest plus triceps together. Love for him to clarify.
Mike is my spirit animal 😂
Mike you're spot-on and you're funny also you're the Don Rickles of bodybuilding haha LOL
Finally someone can relate to. As an Accountant I look for best return on investment and I found and stuck to a push pull 1-1.5hr day on-day off works best. Stuck to it for years now. Each body part once in 6 days, 5 hours a week total in gym, good results. Listen to body though sometimes good on day 5 sometimes I need a week
Tried both, personally for me I respond better to frequency than volume. I keep the volume down, some weeks legs twice taxes me and I’m gassed by Saturday with a PPL repeated and a Sunday off. I think the industry fry’s people head with nonsense to baffle people into thinking they can’t do it alone. High volume sure does work as does frequency and I think the main thing you are highlighting that others don’t is recovery, respect for calling out the bullsh!t
Mike isn’t talking about volume. He is talking about annihilating the body part you are working. It can be done in two ways, HIT or Volume. As long as you destroy the body part. What you are describing is the opposite of what he is saying. You are doing what these bullshit artists are teaching. If it works great for you. What he is saying once a week after annihilating the muscle and bodypart works better. Been training with HIT for over 35 years once bodypart a week. As a former NPC level competitor most professionals train once a week. There is a reason for it. You seem to have missed his point.
@@chelious1973 If you’ve been training for 35 years the you should know enhanced and natural are totally different than shouldn’t you. If you’re natural and I annihilating a body part once a week the your protein synthesis declines rapidly after around 36 -48 hours so it wouldn’t be the best idea for naturals. If you’ve trained one body part a week for 35 years your training is rigid. Also don’t say say other people opinions are bullshit, you sound ridiculous with a mindset of thinking you’re right cos you’ve done the same thing for 35 years. What’s optimum for you is different to others, why would naturals wait a week to hit the body part again when protein synthesis is already dropped in a matter of say. Captain bro science
