Not because the previous w/out′s inroad has been recovered from. Arthur Jones once said "..we are just beginning to understand how demanding this [stuff] is". "Stuff" being HIT training. Jones′ last words on w/out frequency was 1x a week for those w/ avg tolerance & much less for those who w/ less tolerance. Even training only 1x week is often too much for me w/ 1x every 10-15 days sometimes being required for full recovery. | | | | | | | | | | | This Topic has 131 Replies: Displaying – out of 131 Replies: | | | | HDfinland (Finland, : ), Finland) on 11/11/2012 7:36:48 AM | | | | | I recently had a five month layoff from training and when i started again i was stronger in isolation exercises but weaker in compounds.Only downside with infrequent training is that i like to train. I made new records in leg extensions and cable crossovers,so what i had lost was the skill. | | | | | | FS275 (Mandeville, La., U.S.A.) on 11/11/2012 10:36:50 PM | | | | | I′m convinced that Mike′s CONSOLIDATION routine is not an alternative but rather standard routine. I think now after yrs of beating my head against the wall for yrs following the standard nautilus 10+ exercise routine that the majority of trainees should limit they′re training to 2-3 compound exercises done for (after a thorough w/up of a few progressive light sets) no more than 1 peak set each. The correct # of exercises and peak sets of those exercises should be so laughably small that the only thing more rediculous is the # of days spent recovering from from that tiny volume of exercises. | | | | | | FS275 (Mandeville, La., U.S.A.) on 12/7/2012 12:04:30 AM | | | | | So its midnight here, the family is fast asleep & I′m up as usual. I got the urge to lift so I DL′ed 325 for a couple of singles then I got the urge to do my favorite lift – the Front Squat. It may not deliver as much overall gain but I love it. Its been 3 weeks since I last FS′ed (250v5) & I did 225×5 absolutely raw (no belt, no wraps, no nothing) like it was nothing. ^ This is proof (for me anyway) that the standard 3x wk is total crap bullshit. I chasllenge everyone here to take a 3 wk layoff & see what happens. I′m betting you′ll surprise the hell out of yourself & be a 1x every 3 wks convert too. | | | | | | FS275 (Mandeville, La., U.S.A.) on 12/7/2012 12:09:32 AM | | | | | The hardest part (for me at least) of the 1x every 3wks w/out schedule is not the training but the waiting. The temptation often gets the better of me & I end up short circuiting the recovery process stagnating my gains. | | | | | | | Page: | | | | | | | | | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 – Next | | | | | | | | | | Please Login : | | | E-Mail: | | | | | | Password: | | | | | | Remember me next time | | | | | | | | | | | | | | or, Register Now | | | and enjoy FREE Membership with Highintensity Fan Club! | | | | | | | | | |
