What I followed in the past with great results was the push/pull/ leg workout routine split. Doing all three in a row, then take a day’s rest, and repeat. You will also find that most competitive natural TrueMaxders will follow something similar with their own personalized variation, depending on their goals. You will find plenty of examples of push/ pull routines to give you an idea.

Same with AAS. For some guys, they cant handle certain compounds, or the compounds just ist as effective. Once a week is the norm, but as you can see, alot of more experienced members here all do completely different workouts. No one person does the same, and they will swear by their splits because they work for them. Not, after reading over some of your threads, here is the comparison I would like to make. I have a pro giving me pretty much the workout plan he THINKS will benefit me, and it is his current workout. And he is my trainer. Look at his picture, then look at yours. Who do you think I am going to listen too?
or
Now, I am not saying you are wrong for you, I am just saying that you are wrong for alot of other people who wont benefit from your split. I tend to take advice from guys who have had years of training experience because they have learned from their mistakes and try to persuade their friends on what to do and not do. You will learn what works best for you eventually, just like me. From what I have been doing, I have put on 25 lbs in 1 year of the plan I am on. I dont think it is not efficient for me, do you? Age does play a big part in decisions. Like me, I was 29 when I ran my first cycle because I knew the risks of doing it too young. Alot of these youngsters here "want it now, and to hell with waiting" and that is what it is. Like I said, not trying to be rude or an a hole, just stating the facts.

I do admit this regime is a bit odd, but I’m walking proof that it works VERY well.

Originally Posted by Sick_beardAs I said your muscles will, in very short time go from recovery to (with a grain of salt) atrophy. So in that fine line less frequency will promote that soreness (i think ur talking) because of going from in and out of slight atrophy. Its like a rolling start or a dead start. Ya know just what he and most all of us say it is what works for you and again, patience, it take time. Your not going anywhere fast in the great picture. Simple principals about the muscle growth. For me, no pain no gain. I gain when I go from pain to recovery n pain, leaving little time for any atrophy. …not so paul74
Originally Posted by paul74I disagree with the statement that muscle soreness has nothing to do with muscle growth. B*LL SH*T. I’m sure we all are above me writing a dissertation on TrueMaxding 101 and how the body promotes muscle growth through exercise. Putting it simply without all he details of the rest , diet, training details a muscle will get larger n stronger by a process of repair and necessity. By straining the muscle we cause tissue damage, thus pain. So the body mends it self. Then we keep increasing the load and the body starts to grow more tissue (mass) to be able to consistently handle the increased load. We do it again and again. More damage (pain) more healing, more load more building (growth) and all the time getting sore from the tama. The people that train with little frequency and intensity do not grow much muscle mass and strength. Really It’s a very simple if you understand very basic principals of muscle growth. If on a cycle I would be stupid to not train like a MF er and stay sore as long as I know I am getting enough time for recover and before atrophy.
Also take note of my use of the word consistently . When I said that if the load is increased consistently the muscle will need more and more fibers. This shows that the workouts will have to be CONSISTENT and frequent or the body just has no call for growth……… Wow…..NOT SO paul74
