Ok, my last post was not very constructive, so I deleted it.

Eugene has been sick a lot lately,  that’s not my fault, and there is nothing I can do about this. He has to build up some immunity and adjust to daycare. In the meantime, I will do the best I can.

* I will continue to do three full-body work-outs  (based on Chad Waterbury’s Total Body Training.)

* I will start on probiotic and a multi-vitamin.

* I will try to get at least 7 hours of sleep per day.

* I will make sure to eat enough protein and make sure my nutrition is balanced and healthy.

* I will stop obsessing about my body and the fact that some people of the same size lift heavier than me. Everybody is different.
This is what Alwyn Cosgrove wrote about training:

When we break down exercise, this is really all the body can     do:

• Quad dominant (bilateral and unilateral)

• Hip dominant (bilateral and unilateral)

• Horizontal pushing

• Horizontal pulling

• Vertical pushing

• Vertical pulling

• Core

  Nine movements. That’s it.

This is what Alwyn Cosgrove wrote about body part splits:

4) BODYPART SPLITS

I think my mission in life is to rid the world of this ridiculous workout notion. Somehow this highly developed organism that we call the human body is not a remarkable piece of machinery that functions flawlessly as a unit, it’s just random ass “parts” put together — each of which can be worked separately.

My arse.

You didn’t even turn your computer on using only one muscle so why in God’s name are you trying to develop a body using some sort of body part split?

And while I’m on the subject, how come fingers and toes don’t get their own “day”?

Biceps get their own special recognition, what about fingers and toes and sternocleido mastoids? Or left arm on one day, right arm on another day (different body parts)? Because it’s stupid, right? Well, so is splitting up your chest and shoulder “days”.

There are NO athletes other than a small bunch of genetically gifted, pharmaceutical abusing individuals who use a “body part” split with any success. NONE.

Now, if you ARE one of the genetic elite pharmaceutical abusers, then feel free.

Split routines arrived on the scene shortly after Dianabol was popular. Do you see the connection?

Now before you ask me, “Can I split up my routine in some way?” Of course you can. But split it up based on what your body DOES, not based on what “part” it is. Splitting up by parts makes as much sense as splitting up by the number of freckles in that area.

So, since I am not a genetic freak and  not a chemically enhanced competitive bodybuilder, I am sticking to a full-body routine that is giving me results.
