old article.
for what its worth, the process outlined does works, i tried it. part of it is metabolism and body type, though. not everyone will gain as much. and not everyone will really want this type of muscle. its bulky and slow, not the best for more dynamic athletes. you can alter the routine to build more lean muscle, though, and it works the same way. you just won't be able to say you put on some huge number of lbs in muscle.
p.s. - don't use supplements and such. they're bad for you.
- Rabidmonkey1 18y agoSorry, didn't see the date on the article until you mentioned it - then I found it on the bottom of the page. Still, it seems like interesting information to me. I want to form a routine around these principles. How well did this process work for you? Also, could you be more specific about detrimental supplements?
- noodle 18y agoworked very well. i doubled the weight i could handle in all muscle groups except legs (i have strong legs) over two months. i highly recommend avoiding vitamins, supplements, powders, and such as much as possible. its easy to overdo them, and they will start to harm your liver. if you can find some sort of natural protein source powder, that would probably be cool. for context, i know someone who is in a coma after liver failure brought on through supplement usage.
- HalcyonMuse 18y agoHow do you recommend altering it for leaner muscle?
- noodle 18y agodecrease weight, increase reps and slightly increase speed. aim to do around 3x the reps you would be doing according to the article before you hit failure. use freeweights as much as possible instead of bars or machines. note - i'm not an expert and this is based on my personal research. its worked for me, though. i actually decreased in size but maintained strength after switching from one style to another.
