does this actually work?

[s h a d o w]

well my moms bf is a big guy and he is telling me im working out wrong he says i need to work out every major muscle ONE TIME A WEEK is that enough? this guy is pretty big im pretty sure he knows what he is talking about like

monday:triceps,biceps
tuesday:back
wednesday:abs
thursday:legs
friday:shoulders
saturday:chest

he says each workout should last about 1 hour

but im worried it wont give me the kind of results i want because i also free run which i need really strong arms back and legs

Hmm i think it would help if you said which are your goals. I think that training 5 times a week and having a day specially for triceps and biceps and another one for shoulders might be unnecessary if you want your training for freerunning though.

That is a "bodybuilding" split. It will certainly work, but whether it can be considered optimal depends on your goals.

It is not optimal for conditioning for free running, tricking, or basically any sport. In other words, while it may be optimal for aesthetic goals, it is not optimal for athletic ones.

see this is the reason i am so confused about lifting i got 10 people telling me 10 different ways that are better and i dont know which one to take i need to be able to pull myself up a wall in a split second and trick well plus get big so what ideas you guys got for that?

Eat like there is no tommorow and train like a madman. How hard can it be?

If you wanna get big and trick thats gonna hurt your tricking. But gaining weight is always fun, so just stick to the three cores lifts bench, squat , and deadlifts. Squat and deadlift will help with tricking and give you a better overall body blah blah blah. Bench is basically a feel good exercise after a while. The number of days you work out is up to you, but generally I found 3-4 a week is best for gaining.

Like chicanerous said your workout will get you bigger but not much better.

Second thing is diet. Go read juji's diet tutorial cause im not writing that out. Here linkage http://trickstutorials.com/index.php?page=content/foodlog

So its LIFT, EAT, SLEEP.

Hey, the guy is huge... he must know what he's talking about.


Don't believe anyone who gives you advice without first asking what your goals are.
