The problem is that I have terrible recovery and I am the worst nutrient partitioner you know.I tried it for 10 days and I feel ovetrained. I have to train every day before the big meal at night. That way I will put most of the food into my muscles (I hope) and with lower reps I shouldn't ovetrain. Do you think I can put on some size and muscles that way? And what excersize should I use? I still cannot find the right workout routine for me. Yavor, this program does not work for me.

But I think my shoulder hurts form the dips. Anyway I am going to give it a try.And last thought. I want to put on some muscle. But I have to loose my belly too. Is this program for me? I know everything is up to diet but I want to know what you think about it. I am going to fast 3 times per week. In fact I will fast on the workout days and feast on the rest days.

No pushups instead of dips and no rows instead of curls... The upper body workout is like this: chest/triceps = dips biceps = curls back = chin ups shoulders = shoulder presses Alex, you are going to completely screw up the program.

One more thing.Can I replace the dips with pushups and how should I progress on them. I think to alternate pushups with rows.I also think to remove the deadlift, because I cannot do it after the squat neither before it. I want to tweak this program for me and give it a try. But it is very demanding (especialy the squats). May be two times per week is smarter. Ok, I understand. One more thing.Can I replace the dips with pushups and how should I progress on them.

After a 20-rep set of squats I have now energy for other excersize. And in therms of my very bad recovery how about doing the upper body excersize only in one set?

The dips will take care of your chest. Triceps is worked in both dips and shoulder presses. Air, cardio is not necessary here. The dips will take care of your chest.

I mean for warm ups. And w/o cardio, would this actually work? Also, without a bench press work out wouldn't it risk your chest/tricep gains? Thanks in advance!

You can try this - train for 3 weeks. On the 4th week drop the lifts that are troublesome. Then the following week add them back. Rinse and repeat: 3 weeks full routine, 4th week only the "good lifts." This should allow you to progress a bit further. Mike, no workout is perfect unfortunately.

Really refreshing to see some straight-up, simply presented advice without any ulterior motives to sell me crap ;o) In particular I like your line on supplements and diet - have been working out about a year now and have always been dubious about this need to take on ridiculous amounts of extra calories in order to build muscle; your advice on simply eating well (fresh veg, lean meat, eggs and fish) chimes well with what I've experienced so far. Anyway, I wanted to ask about what I'm experiencing on this workout. I've always been pretty skinny and am not naturally strong, but found I really got some good response from this programme for like 3-4 months. However, I'm still a way off from the target weights you list, and am getting a weird thing with how I'm progressing. I'll progress one rep per set on most exercises from workout to workout as described, for maybe three or four workouts in a row - but then I go in the gym and for some reason just cannot get to where I was last time and in fact will regress - so I lose two or even three reps. Then the next work out I end up starting again from that point and can only manage one more than last time - although I do then end up getting above the previous pb before I drop back again. So kinda three steps forward, two steps back; although I'm progressing overall it's really slow - frustrating to say the least! This only seems to happen on certain exercises; legs I'm fine, chins are progressing really well - but my biceps, dips, shoulders (in particular) I'm having this issue with. Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm making it to the gym regular, recording everything in detail, eating well etc. Overall I'm still making progress so I'm not too bothered but it's a little annoying and can be real disheartening to have previous progress lost like that! I'd be interested to hear what you think. Thanks for the effort you put into the site, it's a goldmine :) Hi Yavor,

I am into fitness also and run a fitness website. The difference is that I teach how to lose weight :D. I was wondering if you could post some bodybuilding meals for a whole day totaling 4000 kcal as I am really struggling with that. Please email it to me also. Cheers, Ed Hi there.
