Mike,
Yes Fadi is the man I suspect.
He's got so much knowledge that
I don't think that he even knows that he
'knows'...!!!
Anyway, my eating is not up to par
just yet. I'm still working on that one!
Will switch to Fadi's routing after 4 weeks
and taking body measurements to see
how far I've come in my first 12 week
program.
Thanks
Devante.
hi fadi,,very interesting article. i started boxing at the age of 11 were alot of the movements your describing were used as genral training ,i stopped competitive boxing when i was 22 due to finacial pressures of a young family. I then started lifting. when i started lifting i could easy knock out 75 press ups in one hit ,30 pull ups 30 chin ups and 20 wide grip pull ups and so on but could only bench 50 kg, squat 55kg and dead 75kg.im interested in your thoughts on muscle density??? please. because in the following 4 months my squat and dead doubled,and i could bench 90kg ,i was miles ahead of the 4 guys i was training with within 6 months who were asking allsorts of questions as none of us had ever lifted weights before . i understand alot of people do make gains like mine in that time span but after about a year a few of the guys dropped of myself included for roughly 4 months ,now were my mates bodies went from "looking better" to wot a waste of a year, mine didnt .muscle densitity???? would love to hear your thoughts
I noticed this said program #1 is there a #2 Fadi?
Fadi, I was wondering what you meant in your first post about the exception to the rule part with regards to the military press??
5.Standing military press (exception to the rule)----------------3 x4-7
hi Devante,
What do you "suspect" him of?
What routine are you doing now for 4 weeks before switching to Fadi's? I'm just curious.
Mike.
Well done for sticking with the program, especially as you didn't get the promised gains/loss.
All gains, as in the increase in the weights moved, are good gains
Mike.
Thanks Mike (& everyone who's
answered my questions here on the
Forum).
And Fadi Of course. I annoyed him
with a PM just yesterday!!!
Anyway, yesterday was one of those
days that I was asking myself what
I'm doing in a gym for the 4th night in a
row with more stinking guys than on 31st
night in Ibiza???!!! My mind was like who the hell
cares about this crap anyway kinda thing..
Anyway, I managed to finish the work out!
It took all my effort to push past all that
negative talk.
I had an instant awakening the other day
that if you want to loose fat and put on
muscle youREALLY have to work out for
'life'..oh and also eat correctly!
So the body for life thing really made sense
to me....
Devante.
P.S. Victory comes from wining small battles over a
longer period of time...
I went to the link on the google book you provided in your post Fadi, but it only goes to 21 pages and it says some pages are omitted because its a book preview, and i cant access Page 50. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Nick
No coach would ever object to any movement that is functional and you can't get more functional than well...moving your own body through space as you do do every single day of your life PB.it still looks like an amazing program. Fadi i'm going to ask my coaches approval to use it as a template for when i re-enter training, sort of like an anatomical adaption program. do you think it would be appropriate (if you were my coach) after a brief rest period ?
Sure thing Nick and here's how you do it:
1. Click on the link
2. Click on contents
3. Click on (Page 47): Athlete-Specific Strength
4. You may use the arrows to or just your mouse (as in a pdf file) to scroll up and down.
Let me know if you still have any problems Nick. Thank you.
Fadi.
Okay Nick, although it's working for me that's not good for you. So I looked further and found I can get you there by this: http://books.google.com.au/books?id=QWSn4iKgNo8C&lpg=PP1&dq=Science%20and%20practice%20of%20strength%20training&pg=PA47#v=onepage&q&f=false
Either read the whole chapter beginning on page 47 or scroll to page 50. I hope this will do it for you this time Champ.
Fadi.
