BW
 
OMG....it looks painful. As I have NO idea about gear, is it because of the actual stuff you took- is that "normal" for something like that to happen? Or does it have something to do with the actual injection site? If I gave a patient an injection and it turned out like that, there'd be hell to pay..lol..

Hope it gets better real soon :)
 
well it hurt bad again this morning....and 5:30 came real quick...I did calves and cardio...

it should start getting better in the next couple days.

IG,

it is NOT a normal occurrance and it was due to the type of substance that was put in....it was 400mg/ml primo....and I only put in .5 cc.....I should have only used .2 or .3cc and mixed some other oils with it....my bad....I didn't know it was feel like jet fuel in my leg.

I dont want to stray off course here, but reading your journal it is hard for me not to mention the infamous topic of high volume training. People across ALL boards give me hell when I post how i train. This journal is another example of a life of a competitive bodybuilder. You CANNOT have a champion physique working 3 days a week and spending 3 sets on one bodypart and moving on to the next. I literally feel sorry for people that cant train and grow with the workouts mentioned in this thread. It makes me wonder if they are must making that up just because they dont have the guts to workout like BW and others. lol. I dunno.... Props and mad respect BW ( sorry for the rant bro)

It all comes down to Genetics. Actually ALOT of people train like Big Willy and you I believe also train "volume" but look around the boards and in the gyms. Not many people are his size. It all comes down to genetics and what mom and dad have given us. If everyone can train like BW, don't you think their would be alot more people his size?

You have to find what works for you, not the guy next to, not the biggest guy in the gym, or the biggest guy on the boards. Hell, I would LOVE to be able to go in the gym 4-5 days a week, but it just doesn't work that way with me. I have never been athletically gifted, have never never been one of the faster kids, have never been one of the stronger kids, etc. My genetics and naturaly ability are night and day different than that of Big Willy's or anyone elses for that matter. So why would I want to train that way? I wish I could, don't get me wrong, but it's not laziness. It comes down to what has worked for me and what hasn't.

Hell look how many people train like the "pro's" and look where it gets them. No where fast.

Why do you think Iron Addict and Doggcrapp are so popular online and get so many rave reviews? They will put you on a volume routine, IF you can handle it. But most can't. Doggcrapp has Dave Henry on his split last I read hitting it 3 days in a row, off one, then another 3 days in a row. Where 90% of the rest of his trainees are probably sticking with the 3 day a week routine where Dave Henry is doubling that! You think that the rest of DC's and IH's trainees are lazy? I would seriously doubt that. Like I said, it is difficult for some of you to grasp this because training has come "easy" to you for the most part. But for alot of us, low volume routines are a god send. :)
 
I agree with stout 100%. I hate to say it, but genetics is key. The whole being lazy thing is a huge mis-understanding. I Beg you to train with me on a leg day ;)..

i beg you too...lol.
 
In the off season, I train with less volume for growth....4 days/week...and much more rest obviously.

But it's true, genetics are very important...and the real key is finding what works for your body through trial and error.

But I also understand what mpresiv is saying, lots of people blindly follow others w/o REALLY trying things for themselves to see what works best...it's lazy...

I don't know, something is working...cuz I'm gaining weight!! 232 lbs today...Explain that...I'm gaining weight on at about 1000 cals less then my maintainance level...again, genetics play a role..and supplements too. Whatever it is, I like it...get bigger while getting ripped at the same time...is it possible? yes...but not for everyone...shit dave henry, dex, and the likes don't even do cardio...I actually think most of the pros make a lot of their improvements precontest...cuz I'm finding out the same thing...obviously a lot of my growing and improvements were off season and they are just now showing up...but I think its more than that...

I wanted to go on record and say that I am NOT speaking badly of anyones technique of training. DC, IA, or any other of them fellas. Reading my post again sounded like i was. G4 sent me some articles from DC to look over and I have yet to read them. So I dont know what that is all about yet. I'm mainly speaking on the competitive side of bodybuilding. Lots of people dream of having physiques like Willy but they dont understand the work that is involved. When you try to explain why, then it leads to conversations like what we are having now. Indeed, some people grow better on 3-4 days per week training. But to get the point across to where i'm coming from, let me ask everyone this..... How can you training your ENTIRE body (glutes, hams, abs, and other things everyone seems to leave out) in three days? Yes you can train all in three, but is the time you spend going to be quality training for a competitor? Spending equal time on these bodyparts I mentioned will lead to hours in the gym for those three days, correct? If your answer is no, please explain why not.

bump for answer
 
mpresiv

it's not possible, for me....with the level of intensity that I train with....2 bodyparts is plenty for one session...hell even one of some days...it gets brutal and super challenging when I train more than 2 in a session...
 
I think people are getting confused between low/mid volume training and hard gainer training...huge difference. It sounds like what your talking about Mpresiv is hard gainer training..
 
let me share this with you all, one of my good bros (he is helping me with my prep) wrote this email to me this week:

if ur going thru hell.... keep going

Ok, now we're very close to showtime.... 8 wks flies by fast... and if u dont
keep up sir, its gonna pass u right by... and we dont want that... failure, and
the thought of throwing in the towel is not acceptable... no, its not an
option.... period.

I am gonna take u to the brink of madness... ur gonna have to suffer more than
u've ever suffered... worse than any nightmare u ever dreamed... hell, i'll make
sure u sweat blood.... and if i dont make u cry by the time this is all said
and done, then i've failed u..... and i dont fail. i cant promise u that ur
gonna be the best bodybuilder on Nov. 12.... but u will be the best conditioned
and hardest bodybuilder on that day... that i can promise u... its all up to u
bro..... how much are u willing to give, how much are u willing to suffer and
put forth for a dream that no one sees but u?.... listen to urself and take a
long hard look in the mirror and dig deep and ask urself all of this..... if u
dont got blood in ur eyes and an exploding heart when u do, then ur wasting my
time, Bellina's time, hell the npc's time.....

u know what u gotta do.... now, its ur time.

It's simple. Not everyone can handle volume training. For the people that can handle volume training it works WONDERS. No doubt about it, if there is any training that is the best, it is volume training. However, not everyone is genetically inclined to handle that kind of workload. There is other factors involved than just sheer determination. There is genetics, CNS, etc. So you are forgetting some other points that you are not addressing. It isn't all heart and willpower as alot of people have that, but what alot of people don't have is the genetic ability, recovery ability, raw talent, and their CNS workload capibility among other things. You are forgetting alof of otther stuff than just lifting in this equation.

Let me ask you this......

Do you think that your triceps don't get worked somewhat on Bench Day? What about when you do shoulder presses? Same deal on squat day, more than just your quads are being hit when you squat. You don't have to pin point every muscle and hit it "directly" for it to grow. Thinking along that lines would be foolish. Hell my traps have grown larger than what I would of ever thought and I haven't done one bit of direct trap work in literally over 4 months. Its not needed. When I do deads, it hits my traps. I don't have to directly hit every muscle for it to grow.
 
very true stout...for example, my traps get sore after deads.
I don't do much at all directly for traps...a couple sets of shrugs a week maybe...but that is due to my genetics too...I have big traps...and I also don't want to make them out of proportion.

there is no RIGHT way guys...to each his own....that's all...yes we can help others find the way...but it's truly up to the individual...

with methods like DC's...you would only do 1 or 2 sets per bodypart...correct me if I'm wrong? this allows you to hit a lot more bodyparts per session...

^^^ You just made my comment to your question much easier...LOL. How can I say this, you do have to pinpoint EVERY SINGLE muscle and EVERY SINGLE bodypart in order to succeed in bodybuilding. (of course i know we all arent anywhere near the pros) But do you think top bodybuiilders got where they are by saying this ------->>> "You don't have to pin point every muscle and hit it "directly" for it to grow. Thinking along that lines would be foolish. " Nope

I think I may be a member at intense muslce. When I get time I'm gonna get his point of views on what he does for competitors.

1 set for body part rest-paused with a static hold at the end is the basic scheme. If you can handle it. Then say you did that on Mon, you would do another excercise for same body part but different type on Fri.
