I thought not, as you aren't giving your body recovery time and that's when you make your best gains strength wise, as I understand it. I'm no expert on these matters though..
Also you use the term body building. Most people associate that with the aesthetic angle being predominant and the higher utilization of isolation training. Is that the case for you, would you say?
So for example, do you have an opinion on say body building vs. power lifting?
It's always a question of what you're training for, and of course using resistence in whatever form has it's pro's.
Nice to see you again anyway, and you're looking buff man.. nice.
Once again, You are correct.
I usually only hit chest twice a week. My normal routine is training body parts.
I'll tell you why I decided to do 30 days.
When I was younger and first started lifting, I made incredible gains. That was before I knew anything about recovery time.
I was benching everyday because it was fun. I had a small work out section set up in my welding/machine shop.
I used to go to the steel junkyards and get scrap steel plates. Then turn them on my lathe and make them into weights.
This kept me excited about trying them out. It was like kid's / young man ambition I would say, But it worked.
I left serious weightlifting for more then a decade. Anyway's that kid that I was long ago was strong as a bastard!
So I guess that I'm trying to match my old self.
I'm kind-of a mix of power lifting and body building. I enjoy lifting heavy low rep's, like 3's
Thanks for the complement.
Day 11, A little burnt out. But feeling great.
