All you lifters out there, general discussion

[thabadguy]

I am not a juiced up, Mr. Olympia, but i am pretty serious about weight training, and i use a lot more sets per bodypart than indicated here.
The systemic overwork ur talking of, only occurs if you do not get enough nutrients for ur muscle to recover and u do not get enough sleep/rest period.
i never said 5 days a week for a beginner, 4 would suffice.
For some1 who has been lifting seriously for over a year i would say 5(i work out 6 days a week).
How many sets per body part are u recommending?
2?
I would honestly love to see any1 with any decent amount of strength /muscle mass(read bench press over 275lbs, squat over 365 lbs Deadlift over 315 for at least a 5rm ) have a workout routine that doesnt comprise of at least 12 sets per body part.
No one needs to do flyes for strength.
Umm yes they do, i wish i could show u all the articles in Flex and Muscle& Fitness magazine about this(which have been written by M.D.s almost exclusively).
No1 but a juiced up Mr. Olympia needs to do 12 sets to failure?
Umm..how other than doing a set to failure to expect to increase muscle mass, or strength?
If you do not tax ur muscles they are not going to grow. Lemme give u an example...would lifting a pillow weighing a lot less than 1 lb as a bench press significantly increase strength. Why? Because you cannot go to failure with that, unless u do about 2000 reps.
Its your advice, ull stick to it...fine..
Its just incorrect, and im sure the users of 2+2(even oot) wouldnt mind a correct opinion from some1 who knows what theyre talking about once in a while.
