Yep, that is how my mate likes it - looks well on it too! That’s training by the way, you perves!
The reason for this article is that I have many questions from readers, (well two), on how to fit in their training due to work and home commitments etc.

I know that this can be a pain in the arse, but for some missing training can throw out your day and upset the balance of life - such as the case with me! I hate missing training and when I do I tend to dwell on it and I know that I shouldn’t, but you do don’t you. Especially when it is such a part of your life that everyday commitments tend to be routed around the gym, diet etc. That is the sport though.

KIND GAFFER
One of my friends (yes I have two), is lucky to be able to train at work after convincing the gaffers that it would enable him to work better and slip in the extra bit of overtime as a favor. At his place of work, there is an area (sort of cupboard I think) that his boss has let him build a small gym - only the basics, but good.

The boss uses it as well so that went down well too. I think that he convinced him on the Japanese theory, you know, Tai Chi in the morning, hand waving and stuff - hmnnnn, nice for some. I just get flagged when I walk into the office - fucking window cleaners! Strange though, well I have to laugh sometimes because my youngest lad is the spitting image of him - hmnn again - life is strange. Where is the wife anyway? - Shammy bugger!

Do not try this at home kids - Do it in the garage!

Anyway, he (with the help of me) has designed a training system so that he is able to train ONE body part per day, through Monday to Friday AND be able to hit that body part extremely hard as well! This is what we came up with……

SYSTEM
He starts his training on Monday with whatever body part comes round for it’s turn. In this case let’s say chest for example. So…….

Mon: Chest only
Tues: Legs only
Wed: Arms - one set for each part
Thu: Back
Fri: Delts & abs - abs one set alternate

Now for each body part, EIGHT sets are done EVERYDAY (with the exceptions). Seems a lot, but it isn’t. The reason is that at the start of every morning, at the stroke of 9 o’clock, he will go to the ‘gym’ and have a quick warm up (I think it’s Tetleys actually) and then he starts his daily workout on the body part to be worked. In this case chest.

He uses a different exercise each workout on each part; say bench press one week, heavy flyes the next, d/bell press next etc etc. He does this regardless of the fact that one is supposed to be a builder and the other a shaper. They ALL build never mind what people say about compound exercises being the only ones that build mass - nahhh . It works well.

He does only ONE set per hour and that is it, but that set is hit to the absolute end and with the maximum amount of weight for as MANY reps as possible. Every effort is made to get as many reps out as is possible because he knows that he has an hour to recover until the next set and it works perfectly well for him.

He has plenty of time to recover and when the next set comes around he can give it all he can. There is no problem with time as he can be in and done in about 5 minutes TOPS with maybe some to spare. It suits his situation perfectly. His time at home is his own and there is no conflict with the missus.

You see the great thing about it is the recovery time which many do not realize is so important. I realized the importance of it many years ago after trying so many different systems - as you do. After giving recovery more priority, I started gaining so well I could not believe it. Alan can train the whole body to the MAX, recover well and at the same time push quite respectable weights depending on the way he feels.

PLACEBO EFFECT
The mental attitude and direction of any person is also one of the definite keys to success in bodybuilding. Visualizing the body parts being trained at the time getting bigger, most definitely works without a doubt. For instance, when pumping out reps on say a preacher, I stare at each bicep and think about how bigger and fuller I want them to be. I remember Arnold talking about it many years ago and thinking that it was just another commercial trick from the Weider company - I was so wrong.

Strange thing the mind. It can do the same sort of thing with the gear. Some people have contacted me and told me that they have had great results from using a certain type of steroid when actually I know that from their description of what they are using, they have definitely been using a counterfeit without doubt.

The fact that their minds have already set up the growing process in themselves, had triggered off their own production of testosterone within their bodies. Works great, but still does not give an excuse for shit gear!! When they had found out that the gear was duff, their gains dropped so dramatically it took some believing.

So, from this conclusion, if you can adopt the same attitude using genuine gear, you really have it cracked and the results will always be positive.

ROUTINE
That’s why then body likes to get into a routine in all types of training. Like the training system that we have just discussed, if you want it to work then it will. All systems will if you want them to especially and give it all you can. The one set per hour system gets great results simply because each and every set that is done is forced out using the visualization method. If you can somehow develop this routine to fit your own particular training, then I believe that you could be really happy with the outcome.

The best effects are found when you have had a few good workouts under your belt. The body realizes that it has to get used to it and in most cases does, responding by gaining faster and faster. It is not noticed much at first, but eventually you will see that regular, consistent workouts do really start to count. Missing the odd one really does not cause that much of a problem, but can when it becomes a regular habit.

Give it a try and if you feel that you can alter your training to suit and need a hand, give us a call and we will try and help as best we can.

TWO WEEKS ON
Going off the subject slightly, I had a call from someone asking about a cycle/stack that someone had suggested to them to use for only two weeks at a a time. He said that he had been told to go on the gear heavy for only a fortnight and off for 3-4 weeks. He was also told that it was the only way gear would work. What was my opinion?

Shit really!! If you have to take such large amounts of gear over such a short period of time I think that it is not only dangerous but fucking stupid to be honest. By the time the gear kicks in and starts to work, you are taking it out again - nope, cannot see it myself. BUT - like I have said, it can work for some I suppose and it really depends on whether or not your own testosterone levels are high or low.

Personally I find that using very high amounts of gear is a waste of time and just results in me bloating up with unwanted water and knocks my “duck” off right good and proper (cannot get the old man hard….. ahem).

I prefer to use the minimum amount, build it up until I feel that my size and weight starts to peak, then and only then, I can start to reduce it down again. That is safer and it works very well indeed. PLUS I actually AM that furking well good looking!!? I even took myself out for a drink, enjoyed myself and, ahem, (catch this guys) ended up in bed with my right hand - sharing a fag! Phew what a night WE had. (only kidding, it was the afternoon actually!).

The main point is that this system works bloody well good and can be adapted to suit as I have said before. This system can mean that you are not ruled to a set time. Training for a 5 minute period to the max every hour means that you can adopt all the normal training attitudes and STILL grow BIG!

Another example is that if you could not train every hour, why not go for say two or three sets every third hour for instance; again the same will happen - growth without losing any momentum. Give it a shot (’scuse the pun).

The gear? Well the intake would be exactly the same as if you were on a set time; the advantage could lay with this system as the recovery rate would be that much better - AND the fat would be worked off in a more or less balanced way. Any questions? Then give us a call.

Train Hard and God Bless!
