Phidias,

Can you post a bit about your training?

What is your current split, style of training, etc.

How did you come to your current methodology? (how else have you trained in the past?)
 
He does have an amazing physique. Very well rounded.
 
Very similar to the one I gave to you.....IF I was going to bet money.:)

With a lil one on her way, I'd stop gambling and start saving money if I were you... :p ;)

No seriously thanks for the concern, Shelby.

Well... over the years I've tried pretty much everything, from awfully complicated training methods to crazy exotic diets... to finally come to the conclusion that by keeping things as simple as they need to be - "basics" as they say - you obtain the best results.

As long as your workouts are intense enough but not that hard they put you in a state of overtraining, I feel you're on the right path.

Nothing really exciting to describe here... key exercices for less sets per session but more frequently, different bodyparts trained in the same workout, 7-10 reps usual range, drop sets, rest/pause, staggered reps sometimes included to shock muscles and repeat, over and over again...

A back/chest workout can be something like pull ups followed by incline barbell presses for 3 effective sets each, then bent over rows and flat dumbell presses for 3 sets again. Repeat 3 days later preferably picking up other exercices.

It can also very well be a chest/shoulders or chest/tris or back/shoulders or shoulders/bis... I TRAIN QUITE INSTINCTIVELY. Provided that a given muscle has recovered enough from a previous session, I work what I want when I feel like doing it... this way workouts are much more enjoyable. And when you find pleasure doing something you progress much faster IMO :)

Amongst the innumerable things I've learned from Phil, the main one, the mother of all should I say, is that bodybuilding doesn't have to be as "sophisticated" as we often try to make it... keep it simple, stay focused, consistent, and progress will come all alone... without having overstressed your body with heavy bulking or drastic famine diet phases coupled with coutless hours of cardio ;)

Now don't get me wrong... in practice I do just the opposite to what I'm preaching here... I gorge myself with bad food most of the year and when it's time to shed all the excess bf I've gained I rely on massive amounts of drugs to avoid dieting harder :eek: :eek: :D

Thanks for the detailed reply, Phidias.
There aren't any secrets in this sport, but it's always interesting to hear how advanced lifters structure their training.
Cheers :)
 
haha yeah he pretty much nailed it, instinctive training is totally the way to go...and keeping the diet/training nice n simple does the trick better than all the exotic diet/training methods for sure....
 
instinctive is good if u know urself well enough, i always have a planned workout to do but things may change if im not feelin it the right way or feel an injury or overtraining situation about to take place

i would advise those who are new to have a plan so that u dont get people who feel like working chest and bis every workout and just never "feel right" to do legs

HAHAHA! :D You're so right!

I know if I listened to myself I would do pull-ups everyday... I love doing them... and like working back in general.
 
Phidias, thanks for posting your workout. It is always interesting to see how others train.

Ever since I add the extra 25 pounds and my shoulder injury... pull-ups have been very challenging for me. :eek: Now that I've lost 20, I should put them back into my routine.
