Meyer, what routine is that? Different body parts each week, wtf?

[Meyer Lansky]

Blood & Guts bro, Blood and Guts. It looks like a lot of rest, i didn't intentionally set my self a week off, and the routine doesn't say have a week off, It just works best for me. I wait until my whole body has recovered, usually takes a week, then go again.

[Naruto]

What's a working set and a warm set? I assume when when you go in till your body can't take no more and warm = just warming up?

Working set to failure lol the terminology is what always gets to me wtf is that

[Tommy]

Working set is at a proper weight. Start with a moderate weight to get the blood pumping and get used to form, then working set is all your effort weight. I believe Meyer does 6-8 reps (to failure), so that gives you an idea of what weight that ought to be at.

[Naruto]

I can confirm I also have no idea about weights.

I fucking hate this shit, shoulda paid attention at school lol.

You had a weightlifting class? Subconscious preparation for jail...

Meyer's routine isn't something I'd recommend for beginners. Getting used to the proper compound exercises will get you the best results at first, then working into a full isolation workout, THEN trying something like that's the best route in my opinion.

[ESKI]

still cnt believe u go to gym 4 times a month

[ESKI]

i dont see how it takes that long for your body to recover..maybe because ur fat and old

lol yeah bro, its because im fat and old.

Not worthy of a new thread but I need to know.

Developed some stretch marks under my arm/side of the pec area. Sign of gains, or just as a result of stretching the skin with flys?

[ATB]

Hehe, I reckon your skin would be ripping if flys were the reason of stretch marks on pecs. If your on creatine it could be water. Could be gains but if your on some bulk it could also be fat, so be careful.

I've yet to get into proper bulking really, calories have been fairly standard, possibly slightly above. Seem to go down the side of my pec so I reckon it's from gains. Hope it's from gains.

put selotape on your stretch marks asap something to do with the sweat it creates repairs the cells or some shit

[Tommy]

I'm stuck with what to do right now.

Part of me thinks that cutting until Christmas then doing a bulk and cutting before Summer would produce the best results.

But I also think that because it's Christmas, I might aswell bulk until January then slowly cut until the Summer. Thoughts?

[Tommy]

Really? So late?

The reason I was giving myself that much extra time was because I find it difficult to cut. My cut for my last holiday went drastically wrong.
