nah its for everyone,. just that they arent gonna bullshit you like the avg "certified" personal trainer in them corporate gyms. that diet is pretty much like mine..you get used to it. it also requires lot of preparation..or knowing where to go to get good food.

this is one of the most common misconceptions about weight training. you wont just blow up into the hulk over night. it takes most people 5 years+ to get them overly hench physiques especially without steroids. Just lift heavy and eat and you will see in the mirror when you reach your goals. you wont wake up looking like the Rock tommorrow.It's like saying i wanna get better at football but i aint gonna play too much in case i turn into ronaldinho. People who've worked hard find it very disrespectful.

Wot i meant was the amount of detail they've put into this is almost to an olympic standard. I've been doing weights for about three years now (only 1 year properly) so i know how long it takes to become larger. My goals aren't necessarily the same as what they've outlined - my main hobby in life is music and putting the amount of effort into muscle building as is outlined on that website is too time consuming. I didn't mean to disrespect anyone who does take weight training seriously.

[Guest M12]

if you dont wana use weights press up variations and pull ups are good but to be honest you wont see much in terms of size gains until you add weight

Question:who is stonger? in a workout, one guy lifts 95kg for 8 reps doing 3 sets BUT rests for about 3-5 mins between sets.the other does 85kg for 8 reps but only rests for 90secs and does 4 sets.this pattern continued during different excersises throughout the day's work out.

[Guest Silver Surfer]

I dont know lol, you talkin benching ?I dont have a set time for resting, as I dont believe doing it in quick succession will aid you. If you have a decent enough time for rest then you know you are completing your set/reps properly. No point having a 1 min rest then trying to do a next rep and u just flop.

ur rest period is essential in your workout. and like i mentioned..i said the example i gave was in a variety of excersices..legs, back, biceps..something ive gathered over a few months. its bascially me and someone else basically.
