Recovery

That's the bitter part...if you are using AAS...then yes...you should be going all out, beyond failure...supersets etc. Not otherwise of course.

I suspect Jones and Ellington et al forgot to mention that in their 'how to train' books..that you should be on a cycle of AAS.

When you find yourself in agreement with fhl on pretty much any topic, but especially on matters relating to exercise, then you know you're on the wrong track. I'm starting to think that maybe you haven't seen the inside of a gym either.

P.S. Still waiting:

Research shows the more advanced you become, the more frequent your workouts should be. The optimal is 12 in a week e.g. 2 sessions a day for 6 days, 1 day rest.

Link?

Do you think Usain Bolt just practices sprinting all day long? He's in the gym strength training for hours a day!

Link?

Thanks...says he does 90 mins every day in the gym, so my top of the head guess was correct.

Fred, I already posted a link answering your other question...you have to pay to access the articles but I can't help there.

Why would u come to that conclusion? Can u explain your reasoning? Just because I agree with fhl on this? Doesn't make sense.

That's quite a routine. So 90 minutes a day for speed, agility and strength training combined, as compared to Visaria's assertion of strength training alone for hours a day on top of everything else. Of course, he is a gifted athlete in his prime.

I suspect that this is not his year-round routine.

Absolutely not.

No, you did not. None of your links shows 12 workouts a week as being optimal.

You may have to pay for access, but that's not my problem.

Regarding less frequency per week (3x) v the one time a week you seem to be advocating:

http://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/A...arison_of_1_Day_and_3_Days_Per_Week_of.6.aspx

Shows very clearly the benefits of 3 x against 1x.

Here's some studies that show how fast trainees can recover:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17194226

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12753488

Btw, the reason why you are advocating low frequency might just be because you don't like to work hard...think about it.

I can quote loads more studies but I don't have the time for this anymore. Good luck, i think you may need it!

Just for u Fred....the first link.
