Posted at August 5, 2006, 2:29 pm: I don't have the posts to back up the authoritative tone I'm going to post in, so what I'm writing will have to speak for itself. I think this might actually be best. I've been reading bodybuilding.com and these forums for quite some time now, and have some problems with what I've read sometimes. I'm going to assert my position on each arguable point and would like to hear input from other posters. If you've read as much science/theory as I have, you know that many things often conflict. Optimizing your training is a VERY hard thing to do. I feel that well over 90% of bodybuilding enthusiasts don't (myself included). I've been fortunate enough to be friends with an ISSA personal trainer, and have read their manuals. One thing that stood out to me is that a workout MUST be catered to the individual. Any routine claiming to be a solve-all for everyone is therefore nonsense. There are also a few other things the ISSA claims that I'd like to address. I'm having a hard time making this fluent, but I'll do my best. Optimal Rep Speed The ISSA claims that you may get the most muscle stimulation by accelerating the positive motion of an excercise all the way to the top. This is because your muscles respond to force, and force=mass*acceleration. They also claim that "faster" reps will allow you to exert more force before lactic acid build-up inhibits your performance. Now this sounds good and all, but conventional wisdom tells us this just isn't possible all the time. That would mean that you smash the dumbells together at the top of your peck flies. Furthermore, I wouldn't be able to keep the strict form needed to really feel that excercise. So here is my revised solution: Make an effort to accelerate through the positive motion of each excersise, but without sacraficing form or muscle contraction. I think I'll stop for now with just this one topic and see what kind of feedback I get. I plan also to adress Routine/Split create, Rep Ranges, Excercise Selection, Routine Variety, and Intuitive vs. Scientific approaches to weight lifting, among other things.
