petefox’s Sick Purpose!

Everywhere I look, there’s a new training principle/technique/rep scheme that everyone’s growing on, even that guy on the HaloMethylHydroxyTestaInsulotropicCissusDrol that still weighs 170lbs.. Some styles been around for years, others maybe less but with an impressive record for results.. Some are high rep, high volume, low volume, moderate weight, low rep, high intensity, full-on failure inducing excuses to over-train.. I gotta hand it to the guys who make this up, you want a sure way to remain in some sort of limelight, come up with a training scheme that’ll make even the hardest gainer put on some meat, hopefully he decides to eat the way he should for it to work..

I for one am lazy, never motivated, never organized, laid-back, indifferent, and constantly tired of everything.. See, not everyone can have this attitude, and build a physique like I did.. Here’s the fun part: I DO NOT have a set routine to follow on a constant basis! Strange, eh? Not to me! Like I said, not being motivated enough has forced me to the conclusion that either:

• I get a training partner to kick my ass in gear, and we bang out a routine weekly until we can no longer grow
• Quit working out, besides Burger King is alot closer than my gym.
• Train alone, no distractions, and most importantly NO ROUTINE!

Guess which one I picked.. No, the last one! The last routine I followed was when I started lifting at the age of 14, it was a simple training split.. Bench, deadlift, squat, and the next week we’d alternate.. This went on for the first 9 months, then I added Military Press to the fun.. I didn’t work any smaller parts until I was 16yrs old.. My lack-of routine these days rotates every week, and I take off a week at the end of the month to recuperate and fill on lean protein.. I never do the same not-a-routine twice, since I never write things down I can pretty much remember what I did a week ago, exercises and reps even weight.. I do lots of different exercises, many of the bench-biceps crowd find it odd that I rarely do flat bench for chest, or barbell curls for biceps.. Then again, they’re still small..

Yes, high-reps and low volume, 5×5, GVT, DoggCrapp, Yates and Mentzer’s ideas all mashed into my need to be stubborn.. No, I never look in Ahnold’s book for advice since most of what he learned was from everyone else anyway.. I use rest-pause, blood volume, giant sets, drop sets, creatine, er, nevermind…

One day when my insomnia prevails, I may even map out my not-a-routine..
