I have almost 27 years of trial and error of training and man the lessons I've learned. I know how it's like with and without AAS. I use to think that working out frequently and hard was the answer to all my problems but it's not. It only creates new ones. I use to think hitting legs two or three times a week will force the legs to grow but the opposite happened. Take a long hard look in the mirror guys and ask yourself if you know what you are really doing. If you have great genetics and can recuperate as fast as lightening then pay me no mind. But if you are a hard gainer like me then it pays to pay attention.

Fuck that shit! Besides, when I see someone say 'one set', I hear 'one working set', which is preceded by a bunch of warm up sets, basically the same shit I do. I don't wanna put words in Phil's mouth, but that's how I take it. To each his own.

What you see is what they want you to see. The only time they really buckle down is before a show and even then they are careful to what they do. Not all but some. That's why some will come in full and shredded and some will look as if they didn't prepare at all. The ones we see on youtube and such have contracts with big supplement companies and well they have to to put on a show. I don't want to venture off into the rabbit hole.
So no Carlos, my purpose for sharing my views on training is to help others achieve their goals quicker without wasting precious time and effort.

Thanks for dropping inn this conversation. But before I speak on your issue first let me say that I just woke up and read all the comments posted since going to bed. Some were down right funny comparing me to Arnold in his mind fuck games to comments that seem skeptical of how I train.

Now to you; here is a very common method of over training. On your mondays and thurs you hit smaller ancillary muscles along with the majors. So I translate your program as arms trained directly and indirectly four times a week. These smaller muscles get too much attention and will lack in progress. This will be your weakest link cause try doing chest press without the aid of triceps. So if maximum strength is one of you goals to pack on size then bang your program works against you. You will only be as strong as your weakest link. The biceps and triceps will not recuperate fast enough to handle the demanding work load which in turns causes everything else to fall behind. You get my point. You need to strategize your program to focus on bringing everything up at the same time while allowing time for everything to fully recuperate.
