babs, I think the people are tripping not cause of the amount of calories, but what he is eating

and quite honestly, I didn't see anyone trip:lol: :hug:
I only know it was my sister who initially brought up the topic to me. I didn't find his caloric intake shocking in the slightest.....I never looked up or read the specifics to his diet.

If it was all Dairy Queen, well then.....questionable.

this is just a fun tool

http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc




and that pheilps thing is insane because i herd he was not training while doing this
muscle mmemory only last so long before your body adjust to what your currently doing
My muscle memory is kicking ass years later, minus the workouts........so much of that has to do with training hard in the BEST years---20-30 years of age.

Oh yeah.....it pays off LONG after you have stopped working out.

Bear in mind, you won't be as hungry when not that active, but your body WILL remember.

to all body builders out there...i would recommend animal pak, combined with animal stak and animal m-stak see great results in a few months. i would recommend taraxatone to flush all those excess water in your body for leaner look, never ever drink sodas or for any reason anything with sugar.

Animal pak is definitely a good pack of vitamins and amino acids...i've used it...and I like it. Quite expensive though...Anyone ever try extenz? And no...not the male enhancement.

Traps=Shoulders...He said he does back, so i'm assuming he does lower back. Youre obliques usually get worked with abs....i like straight arm pull downs with a cables and a straight bar. Running for 45 mins seems like legs to me, also. 45 mins seems a bit steep to be running though. I run 3 miles in about 20 minutes...you running a marathon? hahaha :eyesmoke:
Shoulders = Deltoids. You can work your traps better by doing shrugs. And although obliques can be worked out by themselves... most of the twisting ab workouts will work the obliques more... and although running does workout the legs, that's half your body that's being ignored in the weight room.

And my normal workouts look like this (I hurt my shoulder, so I haven't been to the gym in a month while I let it heal, but this is normally what I do).

Day 1 - Chest
Bench - 12, 10, 8, 6 reps
Situps
Inclined Bench - 12, 10, 8, 6 Reps
Diff ab workout (whatever I feel like doing)
Decline - 12, 10, 8, 6
Oblique workout
Fly - 3 sets of 10
Abs
Pushups - Don't really have a number, just try to do as many as I can even though I'm usually dead by now

Day 2 - Arms
Preacher Curls - 3x10
Tricep Press Down (Cables) - 3x10
Abs
Standing bar curls - 3x10
Dips - 3x10
Abs/Obliques
Cable Curls - 3x10
Skull Crushers - 3x10
Abs
A couple other bi/tri workouts that I can't remember the name for

Day 3 - Shoulders/Back
Shoulder Press (Dumbells) - 12, 10, 8, 6
Abs
Pull ups - 3x10
Lat Pull Downs - 3x10
"Wings" (Dunno name of it, works shoulders) - 3x10
Abs
Rows - 3x10
Light weight, arms extended to sides and in front (shoulders) - 3x12
Abs/Obliques
Some lower back stuff that I can't remember the name of
Shoulder Press (Cables) - 3x12 - Lightweight

Day 4 - Legs
Lunges with Bar on shoulders - 3x10 (Each leg extended 10 times, so I guess you could say 20)
Abs
Squats - 3x10
Abs
Legpress - 3x10
Abs/Obliques
Leg Extensions - 3x10
Hamstrings (Laying down, legs curl behind you. On a machine) - 3x10
2 diff calf extension machines - 3x10 each
Abs

I hate running, so I try to moves from 1 set of reps of one exercise to the next pretty quickly. Ex: If I'm doing "Arms" day, I will do a bicep workout, then move to a set of a tricep workout, then do a set of an ab workout, then repeat from the beginning 2 more times. This way, I give the muscles that I just worked out time to rest without actually wasting the time to rest, while still keeping my heart rate up.

haha i usually do like 275-315 for calves but on heavy days i can go ass high as 495, or on leg press calve presses i can do 900x8 on my max set.

But i still wouldnt say i have monster calves. They only measure 18" circ. I def need to start cuttin them though

So you're saying there's no such thing as over training? Really?
No, I'm quoting Tom Platz. It's all semantics really, to illustrate a point.

The point is if you can recover quick enough you can train as much as you like. You can only overtrain if you don't recover enough. That's what over-training is, it's under-recovering. If you trained biceps on monday, and your bi's were recovered fully by tuesday, it would seem a waste of possible growth time if you didnt train them until thursday or friday, as an example.

Platz had a system where you build up your training intensity to frantic levels, where you cannot recover enough between workouts, and just when your body is about to start playing up from under-recovering, he would ease right back on the training. This would leave his body amped up still adapting to the severe training, but the body would be taking it easy and all the extra amped up energy would go towards growth. The body would over-compensate it's adaptive growth mechanisms while you were training 'easier'.The same principal as carb loading but using training.

So that's what I mean when I quote a successful bodybuilder from years past and say over-training is really under-recovering.

One of the best intensity tech's i use is resting no more that 90 secs per set, and sometimes not even resting at all (while doing supersets). Ive trained legs doing this and i threw up because it was so intense.

But you dont need to do it that hard. Just try resting between 60-90 secs per set and i bet youll get bigger and more cut with better definition
