What's YOUR favorite routine?

[Pitbull55]

Hey guys,

Just want to know what is your favorite routine(s), why, and what in your opinion gave you some of the best results ??

My top three in no particular order would be:

- Dorian Yates: Blood and Guts - Crazy strength gains only issue is you NEED a training partner for it to be effective
- John Meadows: Mountain dog - This guy imo is brilliant, there are a number of variations of this workout. I watched a video on the MD site the other day where I think he said at this point he has created 14.
- Hany Rambod's FST-7: I did this during my first prohormone cycle (I since moved on to bigger and better things ) but it gave crazy pumps which yielded awesome results.

I've also done GVT, 5-3-1, and a few more. I even created some of my own (some that worked, some not so much)

I always like to find out as much as I can about new routines before I take them for a run. I am setting up my second cycle and during that time I'm considering trying:

- Layne Norton's P.H.A.T. (Irony in doing a pro natty bodybuilder while on cycle?? haha)
- Neil Hill's Y3T
- Dogg Crapp

So any info on these would be particularly appreciated! But just in general would love to know about any other routines you guys love!

Cheers

I make my own routines tailored to my needs. Fuck the mainstream.

Dorian Yates routine is number one for me. Its very effective when executed properly.


Day one: Delts, triceps, abs
Day two: Back, traps, rear delts
Day three: REST
Day four: Chest, biceps, abs
Day five: Quads, hams, calves
Day six: REST

All movements are performed with PERFECT FORM (this is a must IMO)

All rest periods are short (60-90 seconds, 90 seconds being only for the BIG LIFTS - Dead lifts, Leg Press etc...)

All movements are performed as follows with a few obvious exceptions where it is not safe/ possible to do easily;

Set 1 - Warm up/ Feel Set
Set 2 - Feel Set / Close to failure
Set 3 - Working set (To failure and beyond, including forced reps, negatives, force negatives, static pauses)

*One thing to note is that you CANNOT REST DURING YOUR WORKING SET! You go to failure and then you carry on with the help of a spotter (still you must keep tight form as your spotter does the cheating for you), you do not stop and allow the muscle to rest and recover. Your tempo needs to remain there all the way to the death, DO NOT PAUSE AND ALLOW RECOVERY

Progressive Tension Overload

Progressive - Adding weight/ reps/ extra stimulus
Tension - Where that weight is going - on the muscle as tension.
Overload - Taking a muscle to failure - overloading the muscle with something it has not before experienced.

Progressive Tension Overload creates adaptation.
