Hi Steve I am a Powerlifter not the strongest but I try, I want to do the GVT but why not do M-T rest TH-F rest S-S. And I have no Idea on what to do as for exercises. I do back Squats and Front Squats on MON shoulders on tuesday (I was wounded so my right shoulder is a Titanium implant so I need to be careful but I can do what is needed) my question is when do I do Deadlifts and do I just do flat bench.

Hi Mike,

I have just started your power, strength and burn routine. I have just got back from the gym
from doing shoulders and triceps. Now, I had no problems with the shoulder routine. I pushed myself to the max and the 40 lat raises proper hit the spot. But once I went to the close grip bench for the first set of my tri routine, my tris were already feeling it from the shoulder workout and I was unable to lift as much weight as I usually would. I basically struggled with the majority of the tri exercises as I wouldn't usually train shoulders with tris due to the triceps being hit twice. I noticed that the sets were low, is this the reason due to using your tris in the shoulder workout? I still enjoyed the workout, im burning right now and I love it. But I was just wondering if there was a way to get round this within the program. For example, swapping tris to another day. Or, do you believe that this way of training will actually benefit me, even though I'm not lifting as heavy as I usually would with the tri workout? Thank you for your time.

Many Thanks,
Jon-Ross

Hi Steve,

I'm just about to begin weight training at the age of 41 and I'm bamboozled by the number of routines here on M&S.

In the past I've lost weight and muscle in the process and slowly put all the weight back on. I now realise the error in dieting without training and want to start a routine to loose weight again, but more importantly to build muscle and begin a life changing fitness program.

Can you recommend and routine(s) that will help me reach my goal ?

Regards Craig

Hi Steve,

Quick question on women and supplements. I read your article about Beta-Alanine and Creatine. I am curious if a 115 lb woman who lifts should be taking the same amount as a man. I am currently supplementing with L-Carnitine, Beta Alanine and Creatine. Should I cut the recommended amounts in your article and any others in half, or is there a formula to follow based n body weight? Thanks!

James

Hey steve,

I have been working out for several years now. I weigh about 180 lbs and have an ectomorph body type. I have very little fat and my current workout routine goes something like this.

Mon- chest
Tues- back
Wed- shoulder
Thurs- triceps
Friday- bicep
Sat- legs
Sun- rest

I usually work about 5+ workouts on each day for each muscle group.
My question is would this be a bad rotuine to continue? I want to stay in a routine that i would reap he most results from.
Thanks,
James

Hello Steve, sorry if i boring you, i was looking at your program Power Muscle Burn 5 Day Powerbuilding Split, i like it. One question do, you did not say anything aboout deloading week, rest week. Do you use it or just work work work.

Posted on: Mon, 11/03/2014 - 09:09

I recommend taking a week off when you need it. I am not a fan of planned deloads for this type of program. With that said, if you go 8-10 weeks without a rest week, it's probably a good time to take one.

Hi Steve

Love your articles and your youtube page!

I am in need of some assistance

I have designed a program for myself where i hit legs twice a week and chest and back(on the same day) twice a week

I want to know if i can just bolt on the "20 rep squat routine" to the beginning of every workout
?

I am seeing results from my current split but i'd love if i could add the 20 brutal reps of squats before each workout at least twice or 3 times a week

on my chest and back sessions i do deadlift, incline. barbell rows, decline, one arm row, lat pull and flyes...

Monday is heavy day moderate volume and saturday is moderate weight higher volume

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Speak soon

Posted on: Mon, 10/20/2014 - 09:31

Thanks Kaveshan!

I would insert the 20 rep squat routine to one day, feel out the soreness, and maybe try it a second day each week. 3 days per week might be a bit too much.

Good luck and stay strong.

Hey Steve, every article of yours I read you always talk about consistency and progressive overload, both of these points make sense. But I seem to get more of a pump workout instead of making gains...
I stick to the form as best as I can and stop the set when my form feels like its slipping then go for another however many sets...
I usually do 10 sets with my exercises and, like you point out, if I can do 10, the weight goes up...
I've been going consistently for 9 months now and, while I'm not expecting miracles, by the time I get home and take a shower, whatever visual gains I could see are away...
I don't know if I'm expecting to much or if I'm doing it wrong xD.
Thoughts?
Thanks so much for any help

Hello Steve,
i want to tell you that i am a big fan of you. i believe your training system is perfect as it bring real strength to the body and the soul as well

i started your 4 days upper/lower split for a month and it really gave me a huge trust in my strength as i never did squat or deadlifts. but i did a mistake of not having surplus in my calories as i used to have less than 2000 cals a day with 120-140 g of protein

Now this is my second week in your 4 days split of power/muscle/burn routine. i increased my calories in tank to 2500-2800 a day and i noticed increase in my squat and deadlift strength and i really enjoined the routine and planing to spend 2 weeks more before i shift to the 5 days split of P/M/B or stay with it for another month.

i have a plenty of time but my only concern is my overall power in tank and resting time as i feel tired in many times during the day as i really work very hard in the gym. maybe it will take me a while until i increase my strength.

My Question is:
i am Male 33y - 173 lbs and 5.7 feet . My body fat is 24% ( according the gym machine).

what is your general advice to me to MAX gain in muscle and strength without getting plenty of extra fat ? should i do 5 days split ? Do Cardio? increase/decrease my calories in tank?

i have the next 6 weeks to follow your advice word by word after that i will need to slowdown my work density as i will be busy.

i would really appreciate your advice,

Kevin

I have been reading your articles and workout routines and other articles from other trainers.I am Noticing a pattern. Your recent article you stated you need to add squats and dead lifts to your workout routine. Few questions, I have a back injury and doing these exercises is a challenge for me. The amount of weight and reps I can do is limited, if I do correct form, will it still make a difference? Thank You

You could try 20 rep squats. With that said, if you have a back injury, it might be best to stick to leg presses and one arm dumbbell rows.

A split by itself tells me very little about a program's effectiveness. Whatever you do, focus on maximizing sets and adding weight to the bar at every opportunity.

With regard to your "Strength Änd Bulk Beginner Workout" is it your intention that one will only do straight sets of bench press and only ramped sets of military press?

Thanks in advance

Hi Aubrey,

From the workout description: "Bench Press and Overhead Press. Use the same approach as squats, alternating between the straight 5×5 workouts and 5×5 ramped workouts. "

The alternated approach would be something like:

--Bench, ramped
--OHP, ramped
--Bench, straight
--OHP, straight

Hi Steve,

I am currently doing for about 4 Months - body-weight exercise - Training.
When I started 4 months ago, I was at zero, so I had no trained muscles and was unable to do more then 5 pushups.

Now regarding my question:
Would you recommend me to combine body-weight & Gym or do you think, I can get the same results, if I buy a weight-west and try to add weight to my pullups/pushups/dips and so on?

And also, do you have some recommended exercises (Gym-Exercises), wich I can add to my body-weight training.

Thanks in advance for your help and answer!

You can incorporate bodyweight training with resistance training. I would start with burpees, push ups, pull ups, dips and planks.

I guess it depends on what he means by "light weight". Find out how much is acceptable. You can maximize this weight by using rest-pause style training and advanced techniques like show negatives and supersets.

Hi Steve

Having tried a few of your programs, I was wondering if you could advise me of a calf workout I've done drop sets 21's running the rack seated calf raises calf press. My calfs are an 1.5 inches smaller then my biceps to gain some size on them would be great it doesn't help I'm 6ft 2.

Many thanks

Sonny

My main advice is to pick 2 exercises, perform them every 4 days, and try to get as insanely strong as possible on them.
