Good rule of thumb is two days of rest a week and 96 hours to recoup targeted muscle groups

I prefer a full body split so I get 48 hours. I'm not doing a dozen sets per muscle either though.

My summer class has been messing up my mojo. Hit it hard tonight and am going to try to get back into a solid routine. I think I'm going to switch it up and go 5x5 for a while.

That's fine and the 96 hours rule is assuming you're going to total failure, but that's still the most effective way to get it done, generally speaking.

Just started Layne Norton's PHAT the other day, I will keep you guys posted on how it goes.

It really depends on a number of things.

I gave this a try and I just can't recover from 5 days a week. Good luck.

After the first few weeks the soreness will go down. Love the power days.

Ugh. Have to go in right after work today. I bet it'll be crowded as crap. Doing chest tonight. Hope there will be a bench open since it's not Monday.

It wasn't soreness.

 

[Thrasher865]

Was really proud of myself for finally making it in the gym today after work. I was getting dangerously close to becoming unmotivated. I was in Vegas 3 weeks ago for work, did a half assed workout the following week, then on vacation for a week. I'm in Memphis for work the next two days, so I had to squeeze in push/legs, and I'll do a pull workout when I get back. It will be a nice low stress week to get back into things.

I've finally committed to getting down to around 200 lbs which means laying off the serious lifting for a while. Running and calisthenics for now.

Good luck but why the lay off?

Good luck but why the lay off?

I have the opposite problem of most people. I can bulk up very easily but cutting is very difficult I've committed to every variety of diet; my body clings to fat.

If I'm taking 4 scoops of Muscle Milk a day is a multi-vitamin not necessary? would it help at all?

A multi would cancel out the Muscle Milk. It's an either-or dilema.

I bet you feel like you're having a baby when you poop.

Doubt it. I get the feeling Billy's rectum has been sufficiently stretched.

I believe you are correct.

why do you say this?

I've never heard too many vitamin minerals make your defecation difficult.

Why don't you take a whey protein that does not have the fats that musclemilk has (like 12g per serving?). Those fats in there are not helathy fats.

Did legs about four or five hours ago and they are already sore. Pray for me the next few days.

I've decided to give this another shot beginning of October, let me know how it goes.

Chest Mondays. BOOM!

I've started going later on Monday, because the gym is so packed. Workout was a breeze. The benches were all open and as a bonus, the smokin' hot blonde works out around 1, it seems. When I workout later, I get a little eye candy while I lift.

It's rare in my small gym, at lunch time.
