It is in no way a waste of time running bulking and cutting cycles.It is in fact beneficial to your progress.Its no different with your training.You always want to switch things up,make changes to shock your muscles..

i dont believe in that weider confusion crap( no offense to those that do)....lift heavy...eat red meat....do cardio...the gains will keep coming if you keep sellin your soul for that last rep....

Its not weider crap,its reality brother.

So what you are saying is that you never change your training styles,rep/set scheme,wt amounts,exercises???? You always do the same thing?

From your training log,I can see that this is not true.

Change will always keep you making forward progress.Your body will adapt to the same regimen.Its not a theory,its scientific fact.You always have to push your muscles harder to make gains.

Im sorry to disagree with you,but what you are suggesting is just not so.

If I am mis-understanding what you are trying to convey,I apologize.

well....I just got back into training hard last year so I am still "finding my groove" so to speak.....I will be doing variation of 5x5 until summer ( give me enough time to figure out if it works best for me or if dc is the shit).......but if you keep changing and jumping around every 4-8 weeks like weider says then how do you find what works in the long term? i am really gettin to know my body and i know that i grow best from a certain rep range and if I deviate from that I feel retarded......I never said use the same weights.....I'm allllllllll about progressive overload.....kickin up the weight every single week............

jsonbrent, just by looking at youre training log, you have serious imballance, could be a reason why you don't have the gain you would like. I posted a Topic on the subjet, worth a look.

ok sir...so you think i have a serious imbalance....i would like your input then. perhaps you could design me a 'special" program that will give me better gains.....

people should stick to what work for their bodies! enough of this, we should encourage each other, not try to put others down!

like I said before, if I can gain 5-10lbs of muscle a year, without gaining any fat, I'm happy..:)

There no need for this I think, you have to focus on certain of your body area.

No need for apologies on your end brother.You are just stating what you feel.

Im happy to have met you and to follow your training log.Keep it going.
