Training ?’s Answered….
My pc is P.O.S so I have to do this from my trusty PDA….I love this thing cuz I can stay in contact anywhere(sounds like I am doing a commercial)….
Ok, here are some training tips for people wanting to gain some mass, or for people wanting to cut up and burn some killer calories during your workout. For me when I was bulking, I stuck to working the major muslces 4 times a week. I worked my chest one day, back another, shoulders another, and legs another….I used heavy weight, but weight where I could still do 6-8 clean reps…..My workouts were short and intense…Usually lasting no longer than an hour. I cant over emphasize how important diet is people….All the training and supplements will get you so far, DIET IS CRUCIAL! Cardio can be done but very low intensity, like a fast walk or a short jog. You want to pack on weight and hold them calories…CLEAN CALORIES. I will post some exercise to do with this bulking plan.
Now for you folks wanting to cut up a bit. Intensity is key still, but you want to get that heart rate up while you are lifting. SUPERSETS!!! I love them and swear by them. All this is working two muscle groups in the same day, but inner-weaving them together. You jump on the bench and knock out a set of press’s….when you finish do you rest??? NO…you go grab some db’s and knock a set of alternating db curls! You go through this maybe giving yourself a 30 second break after a circuit (completion of a set of both exercises)….but keep rocking them out! I lift for about 1 1/2 hours and burn roughly 800-1000 calories from lifting alone! I still run 2 miles when i am done and my diet is on point….THATS HOW YOU GET THEM ABS AND VEINS FOLKS!!! I only take whey protein and NO2 when trying to get ripped….no miracle supplement..except water! I will post some workout later on..hope this help….KEEP RIDING THIS BITCH TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF!

I agree with most of what you wrote (and your video) except the cardio part… I believe in doing interval training where you sprint for a short period of time and then walk for a bit. I do this about 4 times a week when I’m trying to cut down: I’ll spring for 0.35 miles and walk 0.15 miles (or about there) for a total of 0.5 miles. I’ll do this 6 times for a total of 3 miles. I found this has worked well, but obviously what you have been doing has been working great for you as well.

Hey when you are cutting and doing supersets, are you hitting major muscle groups multiple times a week?
Congrats on the contract man!
