About this user
Hi, My name is Kenshin. You can call me Zachary or Zac for short.
I am a bodybuilder ( and a martial artist ) who has never used any popular training methods that 99.9 % of bodybuilders have used at some point.
One must be able to know how human body grows, adapts, how we can become fast twitch dominant or slow twitch dominant with training, how our CNS learns, other than CNS which structures contribute to our strength, how muscle fibers and tissues get damaged and repair and such. You must know all these things if you want to become a True Bodybuilder.
One must be able to know why this program works and that does not. There is always a reason why something works. Look for scientific solution and read research articles.
Leave behind traditional bodybuilding beliefs such as Training the same muscle group only once a week, Training certain muscle groups no more than once a week bcos they are smaller, always training to failure believing that it is about going beyond one's limit, being obsessed with certain parameters for a long time such as 5 * 5 or 3 * 10....
As long as you have any one of such beliefs, you can never manipulate your body as you do not even know how your body produce force and such.
Did you know that people can become fast twitch dominant with certain type of training ?
Did you know that the opposite can be done ?
Did you know that there are countless studies done on it ?
Did you know that muscle fibers can be repaired even if you train the same muscle group for a couple of days in a row? Did you know that it is heavily science backed ? real world result backed ? Did you know that it must be done in a systematic way ?
Did you know that small muscles can be trained more often bcos the amount of muscle fibers that get damaged is less than those of bigger muscles. That also means that there are less fibers to repair?
Did you know that the bodybuilders who usually use 10-12 reps look really soft compared to us who train heavy bcos of their Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy which is not the growth of the real muscle protein ? Did you know that such training never make you fast twitch dominant ?
Did you know that fast twitch muscle fibers can grow fastest and are also strongest compared to other types?
Did you know that you must recruit all or most of your motor neurons which control your muscle fibers with each and every rep you perform to ensure growth in every muscle fiber?
If you did not, you can forget about being someone who can design your own programs who knows how the body will adapt to them.
So, start studying what every bodybuilder should.
I am an ectomorph who has trained as hard as anyone you name.
I have trained up to three times a day, often train the same muscle groups up to 4-5 days in a row.
After touching the real iron for 1 yr and 7 mths, I can shrug two times my body weight, deadlift heavier than 2 times my body weight, do one arm chin up, dip with almost two times my body weight.
You can do it Too!
