bump most of them are doing it

Bump....can a Mod figure out why the links are just bringing us to the front page?

Nick~

Yeah, cant see the linksmae, just the front pages!

No point bumping - this is a sticky! The links are bringing up the frontpage as the links no longer exist. They were probably deleted as a result of housekeeping, or, they were lost when MT migrated over to new servers.

I thought Tony Starks was trying to retrieve some of these lost threads a while ago.. - I know he got some back, dont know how many, of if he has updated the links which he did retrieve.

Nice one Zack excellent post mate

Do the routine topics still exist?

The links are not working?

the links don't work for some of them because the original thread had to be deleted

Is Big Al's routine ok for a beginner? would it work enuff muscle groups and would i get quite big etc?

hey zack thanks a million for the information
thanks bro

Hey Frankie, I'm gonna give this routine a go very soon, a few quick questions f you would be so kind,

5 X 5 all work sets same weight from what I can gague, no light weight warm up?
Power cleans, r these regular deadlift/slight jerk into upright row/stop at the shoulders?
Again from what I can rad on the posts its 1 exercise of the 3 suggested in each workout? eg. Power cleans, dumbell rows, barbell curls? Then say incline bench, dunbell shoulder press, and dips?

Cheers mucker.

i like the ripped one

"and still holds the all time record for heaviest weight lifted by a human, of 6270lbs in the backlift (check in the Guinness Book of records if you don't believe me)."

How much!!! 448 stone!, what a monster

Great idea, great post Zack

I think you'd find Zack posted this early 2002

Hi Guys

I'm thinking of moving over to the HIT routine and was just wondering how many guys follow that sort of routine and the successes or failures that they've experienced with that routine.

Thanks in advance

which routine would be best for general as well if your busy

ive been training for about 2 or 3 years and currently weigh 104kg with 15% bodyfat .at the moment i am training at 6am and am really trying to gain lean mass(yeah like every one else).my diet is fine 250g of protien,and abuot 450g of carbs,over six or seven clean meals can train mon,tues,thurs,fris...but would prefer to train 3 times if pos....mainly because its so early......can anyone give me some tips for a mass workout....thanks.

i train with my mate in the gym (he has 5 yrs weight training experience) with great physique!

i however only 6 months training under my belt - anyway i tagged with him to learn the ropes properly - i have learnt a great deal but the workout is overtraining me i think , yes it works for him cos he can get faster muscle recovery but not for me.

we train

mon - chest
tues - legs
wed - back
thurs - bi's / tri's
fri - shoulders
weekend - rest !

each day we do about 7 excercises on that muscle group - 4 sets each

defo overtraining for me?

anyway i was thinking of doing this

mon - chest / tris
tues - CV !
wed - back / bi's
thurs - rest
fri - shoulders / legs
sat - CV !

and doing 4 main excercises per muscle group so my workout lasts about an hour max ! by doing chest and tris together i will exhaust my tris fully and same with back and bi's..

what do you think? any thoughts or advice?
