workout routine i developed..

i stopped working out for vanity and ego lifting to pursue more of a full body workout,once a week.Focusing on the major functions of how the body was designed to work under stress and loads, i studied nutrition and fitness for something like 7 years (the really odd thing is that they never mention anything about parasite,colon health or any type of cleanses..go figure!) and i came up with my own routine.

it incorperates the very basic power movements and focuses on primarily working out for muscular endurance combined with power- if done correctly it boost the bodies natural ability to perform at maximal force at any given time..though you may not look like he-man, you could possibly whoop his tail and turn him back into adam,with his pretty pink vest

it's tough, and it takes time to condition the body- but it works wonders for me.
it's loosly based on German Volume training and is similar to powerlifting in it's approach with lots of low reps and basic movements. i Deadlifted for the past 2 1/2 years ( 20 sets on average) but wound up hurting my lower back (ouch!) so i no longer do them anymore- it served it's purpose though- my legs are solid steel and it helped me gain over strength for todays workouts, i have since switched it around some.

the basic principle is that you work out the basic fundimental parts of how the human body generates strength-

this type of program primarily focuses on ;
joint strength
joint mobility


PUSHING
PULLING
EXPLOSIVENESS
POWER
ENDURANCE

and thats basicly it! and i only work out once a week to maximize recouperation so that i can can back even stronger as well as building up my tolorance levels.I also firmly believe that the body goes into a natural groove of naturally escalding testosterone levels as well as other grow hormone levels with this type of work out, and by working out only once a week - it helps prevent depletion of these precious hormones and avoids over training also.It also builds on the theory that this type of training conditions and builds up the central nervous system and trains the body to withstand long bouts of maximal extertion and power reserves.Think of your body as a bank,and everytime you work out on this program you are putting more and more and more into the banks reserve..because you never know when you will need it.

right now , i am on the verge of creating another routine but this is the one i have been using soo far with excellent results!


MILITARY PRESS- 5 (sets)X 7-8 (reps)
DB PRESS- 5 X 7-8

WEIGHTED PULL UPS- (25 lbs. WITH WEIGHT CHAIN)
20 x 2-3

BARBELL CURLS- 10 X 6-8


- i add power cleans, and squats when i feel like it
(
though i am planning on re-introducing them into my workouts!


*Remember it took me around three years to be able to maintain intensity and maximal force throughout this workout.

i am thinking about focusing soly on weighted pull ups and military presses- to further developing massive ammounts of overall strength and power.
strength and power as in how long i would be able to exert maximun ammount of strength at any given time in real life,not strength and power as in how much i can lift at once at the gym..there is a huge difference.

i once was suprised at work and had to rearrange some bookcases (they were about 12 ft. tall and about three ft. wide!) and had to move those around for a few hours rearranging them and taking some back into the storage room ,which was about 30 ft. away from where we were!) if i wasn't as fit as i was , i would've had a hard time..but it was a cake walk! i also had to help push this 18 year olds sports car into a drive way from the corner side walk because she forgot to put gas in the thing! sweet girl but her wattage was kinda lackin'
(:
i also was being harrassed one time at a bar and this guy kept egging me on, i ignored him so,he got pissy and threw a punch at me- i grabbed his arm with one hand and grabbed him by the collar with the other and threw him like 12 ft.! whoops! i really didn't know my own strength at the time,he almost broke his neck as he slamed into the corner of the facing bar face first.
just goes to show you that you never know when you might need to be strong in certain situations...


just to warn you, this type of work out is very very draining and you need a ton of rest afterwards- lots of good healthy foods, water,and sleep.sometimes your body will ache soo bad you will want to cry..i have had that feeling many times,but as soon as you recover you will feel 150% stronger..i always do! you will also notice that during the times you need an extra turbo boost of strength, your power reserves will kick in and give you that boost right when you need it.It's my theory that by working out for long periods of time, it conditions the body to naturally be able to exert maximum force if needed to,without stresssing the body or wearing it out..because you have become accustomed to it.Much like how a man that has been a laborer or a steel worker has a body built of solid steel, because his body became accustomed to enduring such extreme conditions and long ammounts of physical exertion.

as far as my diet, i follow the warrior diet except on my work out day and the day after -where i just stuff my face silly with alot of foods! (healthy foods of course!!!) i don't eat too much protein on a daily basis,except on my work out day and the day after for recouperation purposes.If i do eat protein, i ALWAYS eat a large salad right before i eat the meats (it really helps pass things along and not clog up my drain..works great! corn is good too)

let me know if you need help developing a workout routine,i'd be glad to help!
