Quick update.

Having done Chest Shoulders and Tris with Pikey on Sat (aka Push workout) I found the following:

* It took me until almost 7pm to be able to lift my shoulders overhead height.
* Having a deep tissue massage after a session with Pikey may not be the best idea as I was pretty much unable to get off the massage table un-assisted.
* I have never ever ever had the centre of my chest stimulated like that before. Ever. It aches today!!
* I must have been gripping on to the DB's pretty hard during the 'growing reps' as the muscles in my hand were all funny until Sunday am and I woke up on Sunday am with a sore neck in the 'oh my life this rep is hard I must excessively grimace and tense my neck up' sense.
* My intercostals ache (those are the rib cage muscles yes?)

Any I think you get the idea.

Quality quality session mate.

Looking forward to leg training!

looking forward to seeing if this different way of training agrees with you and growth continues...

You don't think it will mate...?

Lol mate I don't mind anyones opinion - just don't know why you think it won't work...?

No idea if I have good genetics to be honest?? And nope not running gear.

Pikey did you say to do this as part of a 5 week macro cycle? I was too busy concentrating on making sure my elbows were in the correct position when you said something about macro cycles lol!

lol you can't have an argument based on gut instinct mate

I'm certainly aching in places I've never ached before.

Hi THS,
Glad to see the workout had an effect. Genetics wise my opinion is you have the ability to be a seriously big guy, I’ve not met many people with your bone mass or frame and certainly not at your height, only trained with one guy who had and he wanted to weigh a stone in weight for every year of his age – he managed it to from 18 to 27 – at 23 stone the guy had abs, he was 6’4”, strong as an Ox!

My opinion is follow this regime for a max of five weeks then change it. I’d probably have an active rest week and then do a five week macro cycle using heavy basic compound exercises the another active rest week. Nothing worse than going stale bad for motivation and cell adaptation. I never stay with any routine longer than 5 weeks, although I normally incorporate pre exhaust somewhere – but for me that’s down to sore old joints and injury too.

Should just about put you on track for a leg session post my pre-contest prep
Out of interest I first got interested in pre exhaust reading about one of the American Natural pro’s whose sponsored by house of pain, I thought the idea of maximising stimulation without impeding auto immune recovery sounded a good principal, natural or not. Also I’ve never been a big fan of spending ages in the gym . Get in, get done, get out, get fed!

Cheers

Pikey

Cheers dude!! Didn't think I could be that big to be honest cos of my height. Was watching Pumping Iron the other day and was really impressed with Lou Ferriggno - 6ft 5" and 285lbs!!! Don't think I'll ever be that size but it kind of made me think if I want to get big I need to make sure I'm working really hard.
