Excellent Advice Hugo. Another way for people to determine what frequency to work out at is, "Workout by how your body feels". Example=Monday i did 10 sets for biceps and was sore until Sunday, Sunday did another 10 sets and was sore until Tue, which was shorter, so i did biceps then. Everyone is different but as long as one works out by how the body feels, it will be best. This type of routine worked magic for me, but when i was on a strict routine, i did not see much results.
Hugo, love the videos man...I am in the process of slimming down but keeping muscle and size...when you recommend these workout would you say high repetition - say 12, 15, 20 (3 exercises for each part in Workout A or B) - or do you think that is too many repetitions? I am 5'8 200 lbs and have worked out for 3 years...just want to trim the mid section but not get skinny.
Hugo you're giving great advise out there for us! Thanks!!! I have a question for you, hope that you get the chance to answer it for me.
I'm having a hard time squeezing my workout in the 45 to 60 min. frame especially when I do 3 or even 2 different body parts( my rest periods are short too 60 sec) and thats not counting my cardio.
So is it wrong if it takes me 90 min.? if so, how could I fix this dilema?
what is the difference a beginner, intermediate and advance.. i ve been playing for 9 months... where am i?? what program would i follow coz i have a hardtime gaining weight..
I'm a basketball player. I play twice a week (Monday and Wednesday), but I like to gain muscles which I'm taking my high protein diet to do so. I need a workout that I can accommodate with the sport. What kind of frequency you recommend if I have two days to play basketball and also not interested in leg workout. They told me that to much cardio won't let you gain weight. Is that true? Thanks in advance.
@NA5598 Hi There! I would do a routine like the following: Workout (A): Chest/Back/Arms Workout (B): Shoulders/Legs Do these workouts on your days off from Basketball. So for example if you play say Tuesdays and Thursdays then: Mon: Workout A Wed: Workout B Fri: Workout A Sat: Workout B
@NA5598 I understand that you are not interested in leg training. However, ask any basketball pro and they will tell you that leg training actually helps them with the game. In addition, stronger legs prevent injury.
cardio: Yes, too much cardio will slow down muscle gains. However, I would not worry if I were you since you are just doing basketball. Marathon runners and other endurance athletes however are at a higher risk and thus, if they want muscle, they really need more carbs.
what song is that?
