1) OVERTRAINING - People are scared of overtraining and say that it's the
most common mistake.....look at 99.9% of people in gyms..you really
think are they overtraining.. and that's why they don't progress? We live
in minimalist times where people think you can eat 2 times a day, and do 4 sets a bodypart and this will maximize their growth potential. Always
doing less and less and less...I don't agree.
2) TRAINING GOAL - Trying to burn fat during training should not be your
goal, it should be to BUILD MUSCLE. This ties to #3.
3) NUTRITION AROUND TRAINING - You should destroy a muscle, BUT use
nutrition around/during your training to actually keep the muscle damage
as minimized as possible
- casein hydrolysates - can't beat it intraworkout for recovery
- BCAA's are good too - Leucine turns on m-TOR with mechanical tension -
and you ain't growing without turning on m-TOR. I wouldn't use both
though...see which works best for you. Eat whole food before training like
eggs, beef, etc. Don;t go into a workout hungry - not a good move.
CARBS - I would NEVER take out carbs postworkout, and only in cases of
severe insulin resistance take them out preworkout.
Eating carbs equals a rise in insulin levels. Insulin is anticatabolic (helps to
keep the damage under control). Insulin (as BBOY points out in his thread)
shuttles nutrients into the muscle cells. I would not worry about shuttling
nutrients into fat calls after training hard. Postworkout carbs will not make
you fat. They will not keep your GH from working (don't send me the
studies on this, i have seen them), they will not bloat you....
a fully volumized muscle cell is an anabolic one. This takes carbs.
4) TRAIN EXPLOSIVELY - learn how to turn your nervous system on. Use
accomodating resistance as a tool to learn how to explode through a rep.
You could also use submaximal speed work to a degree, but it in itself will
not make you huge.
5) SEQUENCE EXERCISES PROPERLY - Drop the dogma about always having
to bench first, squat first, deadlift first. Your joints will thank you, and you
will learn how to destroy muscle and not tendons and ligaments. In the
long run, this will make you stronger.
